Manure Constituent Sensing / Slurry Applicator

When a Manure Constituent Sensing (MCS) / Slurry Applicator is connected, some Implement Profile settings are automatically set by the implement control unit. Refer to Implement Profile Overview for additional theory of operation.

Items Accessible on the Manure Constituent Sensing / Slurry Applicator Page:

Connection Type

Center of Rotation

Section Offset

Lateral Offset

Mechanical Delay

Reset Implement Profile

Implement Receiver

Connection Type

Connection type, or hitch, describes how implement is attached to machine and controls how display determines implement movement behind the machine.

NOTE: Connection offset measurements are entered in Machine Profile.

The following applications require Connection Type setting:

Drawbar

Rear 3-Point

Front 3-Point

Wagon-Hitch

Ball

Clevis

Hitch-Hook

Piton

Center of Rotation

In-line distance from connection point to implement center of rotation while in working position. Usually this is where load bearing parts of implement contact the ground.

Center of Rotation offset is important to accurately model trailing action of implement around curves.

NOTE: This offset is NOT needed if Connection Type is set to Front 3-point or Non-pivoting Rear 3-point.

The following applications require Center of Rotation setting:

NOTE: Measure center of rotation while the implement tool is engaged.

Instructions for Measuring Center of Rotation

Section Offset

In-line distance from the center of rotation to the location where product is applied to the ground.

The following applications require Section Offset setting:

Lateral Offset

Lateral distance from center point of the machine to center point of the working width of implement.

The following applications require Lateral Offset setting:

Instructions for Measuring Lateral Offset

Mechanical Delay

Mechanical delay is the average time for the product to reach the ground after an ON or OFF command. It may need to change with each machine, implement, and display combination. Set a mechanical delay for each tank on a multi-tank MCS / Slurry Applicator.

The following applications require Mechanical Delay settings:

Instructions for Measuring Mechanical Delay

Reset Implement Profile

Reset Profile - Select to delete current implement profile settings.

If an implement is connected, settings stored on the implement control unit are loaded to the display.

NOTE: If implement profile fails to load properly, select Reset Profile button to reload settings.

Implement Receiver

Add an implement receiver or edit receiver offsets.

Select Add Receiver Mount button to add an implement receiver.

Select receiver offsets to edit implement receiver offsets.
