3 - Product Calibration
9000 Series with X35 Apollo The presentation featured on the left covers the process of calibrating the 9000 Series air seeder with the X35 Apollo system. Even though the DynaCal™ feature will provide accurate on-the-go calibration corrections, it is still critical to follow the recommended calibration procedure at the start of each job to ensure you are starting with an accurate rate and verifying the metering system is functioning correctly.
DYNACAL™ - How to Address Rate Discrepancy Alarms
During seeding, DynaCal™ calculations are continually processed to compare actual product weight decrease vs the theoretical weight decrease in each tank. When a discrepancy between your target and actual product rate is detected, an alarm will alert you to take action.
You will receive this "error" message during normal operation!
Download and refer to this document to become aware of what actions to take as per the error displayed.
