Description of the screen No.1:

1.1 Assembly travel speed

Displays the actual travel speed of the seeding assembly based on the signal from the 
GPS/Glonass, radar or induction sensor impulses.
In case of usage of the:

• induc  on sensor

, it is necessary to adjust it correctly. The distance of the M12 indu-

c  on sensor from the scanning rose  e must be 4 mm maximally. If the sensor is co-
rrectly adjusted, its signalling LED must light on every   me the rose   e metallic tooth 
passes around the sensor. In case of an incorrect adjustment, some impulses are 
skipped which leads to inaccurate travel speed measuring. This will cause inaccuracy 
of the sown dose and reading distor  on of the hectare-meter.

• radar

, it is necessary to install it so it will not be a

ff

 ected by e.g. the rota  ng wheels 

of the trac  le machine (e.g. a tractor) or by a large cloud of dust or other solid par  c-
les 

fl

 ying o

ff

  of the tractor wheels or the seed drill itself. This will again cause increa-

sed inaccuracy of the sowing and hectare-meter values.

• GPS/Glonass

, the antenna must be installed at the highest point of the drill and must 

not be shaded by any metallic cover. Unless the antenna direct visibility into the sky 
is ensured, the GPS system will operate incorrectly and the drill will not react to the 
movement, con  ngently a non-zero speed could be measured due to the poor signal 
even in case the drill is at stands  ll (e.g. when parked under a hall roof).
