Procedures | Row Runoff

Row Runoff allows you to enter parameters and view the results of an individual row runoff.

Items Accessible on Row Runoff Page:

Row— is the row number for the runoff.

NOTE: The implement row spacing is shown to the right of the input box.

Target Population— is the seed population for the runoff.

Test Speed— is the simulated ground speed for the runoff.

Start— begins the meter runoff.

Stop— appears while the meter runoff is in progress.

Test in Progress— appears on the screen when the seed meters are rotating during the test.

In Progress

Mobile Device Icon— transfers control of the procedure to your mobile device through the Equipment Plus application.

Mobile Device Icon

Cancel— ends the attempt to connect to your mobile device.

Cancel

Disconnect— stops the mobile connection and returns control to the monitor.

Procedure to Modify:

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage to the seed meter components. Do not operate the seed meters without a seed disk installed.

  1. Select an input box to change each runoff parameter: the row number, the target population, and the test speed.

 

 

 

Input Box

  1. Verify that there is enough seed in the row unit hopper for the runoff and that the seed is coated with the recommended amount of seed meter lubricant.

  2. Raise the implement.

NOTE: Place a clean container under the row unit to catch the seed (if desired).

  1. Activate the electric power generation system.

  2. Engage the vacuum and set it to the level that you want during the runoff.

CAUTION: To avoid injury from rotating components:

  1. Select Start to continue the runoff on the display, or select the Mobile Device Icon to continue the runoff through the Equipment Plus application.

  1. Select Stop at any time to end the procedure. Observe all the recorded values as the runoff progresses.

Stop

NOTE: The simulated distance traveled and elapsed time appear on the screen during the runoff.

  1. Compare the results to your expectations. As needed, adjust the seed meter, adjust the vacuum level, or inspect and correct any mechanical problems. (For adjustment recommendations and basic maintenance procedures, see the implement Operator's Manual.)

NOTE: Values outside of the limits that you set are highlighted in red. Values near your set limits are highlighted in amber.
