Flow factor
The flow factor lies within the range of
0.4
to
1.9
. The following applies under the
same basic conditions (km/h/, working width, kg/ha):
If the flow factor is
increased
, the application rate is
decreased
.
If the flow factor is
decreased
, the application rate is
increased
.
An error message is displayed if the flow factor is outside the preset range. See
6: Alarm messages and possible causes, page 95
. If you spread organic fertiliser
or rice, you need to reduce the minimum factor to 0.2. Otherwise the error mes-
sage will be displayed constantly.
Activate the > FF limit 0.2 in the machine settings.

See
4.6: Machine settings, page 48
If the flow factor is known from earlier calibrations or from the fertiliser chart, it can
be entered
manually
in this menu.
The
M EMC function
determines the flow factor specifically for each spreading
side. Therefore, no manual input is required.
Entering the flow factor:
1.
Open the
Fertiliser settings > Flow factor
menu.
The
currently applied
flow factor is displayed.
2.
Enter the new value in the input field.
Refer to chapter
4.12.2: Entering values with the cursor keys, page 79
.
3.
Press the
Enter key
.
The new value is saved in the control unit.
NOTICE
Via the
Calibration
menu, you can determine and input the flow factor using
QUANTRON-A. Refer to chapter
NOTICE
The flow factor calculation depends on the operating mode used. For further in-
formation about the flow factor, refer to chapter
.
NOTICE
If the fertiliser is not listed in the fertiliser chart, a flow factor of
1.00
is to be en-
tered.
In the
AUTO km/h
and
MAN km/h
operating modes, it is highly recommended
to carry out a
calibration
in order to be able to accurately determine the flow fac-
tor for this fertiliser.
