Operation
Step 8.
Using the large metering shaft
calibration handle, turn the calibration shaft in a
clockwise direction to produce an adequate sample
size.
NB. There is no need to count the calibration handle
turns.
Step 9.
Record the weight of the product
metered and enter into the Simplicity Zynx X20
Console as per the Variable Seed Rate Control
Operators Manual. The ‘Calibration Factor’, which is
the relationship between the calibration shaft turns and the
weight of the product metered, is then automatically calculated.
Total Amount Metered
Calibration Factor =

Repeat the above procedures for all other bins.
Step 12.
To begin seeding turn each individual bin on using
the corresponding bin on/off function on the Simplicity X20
Seeder Console. Turn Master Switch on and move off. The Linear
Actuators will move to the preset target rates entered for each
bin.
NB. The Air Seeder drive clutch is controlled by the ‘Master
Switch’ on the Simplicity X20 Seeder Console. To stop seeding at
any time simply turn the master switch off. The actuators will not
move from the preset target position. To resume seeding, turn
the master switch back on and seeding will immediately
recommence at the target rate.
All product metered
during calibration must
be caught and weighed.
Any product metered
but not weighed will
cause inaccuracies with
the calibration process
Compaction Warning
Important: Traveling with fertilisers, while not metering, will cause
compaction around the agitator and metering spools. It is very important
to turn the agitator and metering shafts by hand using the small handle
supplied, before engaging the drive clutch.
IMPORTANT
Failure to free up
any
compaction
can
result
in

to

and

use the calibration
handle (large) for
this purpose as the
drive mechanisms
will be overloaded
