Application Rate Mode

September 2003

2-75

Units: Set to Units/Acre of application. Set to TONS if applying lime.

Set to POUNDS if applying fertilizer.

Ground Speed Sensor: Set to RADAR or GPS. All Ag Leader GPS

except GPS 1000 will work for ground speed.

Note: This setting affects all configurations.

App Distance From GPS: Set to distance between where product exits

applicator and position of GPS antenna on vehicle. Example: If the

spinner is 20 feet behind GPS antenna set to 20 feet back. Press DOWN

ARROW key to set feet back, UP ARROW key to set feet forward.

Full Swath: Set to spread width of applicator.

Tgt Units: Contrler Units: Normally set to 1:1.0000. This ratio is used

to convert the units in a target file (.tgt) to the units of application.

Example: Tgt file in pounds/ac of lime, New Leader Mark processor

applies lime in tons/ac. Set to 1:0.0005 to convert pounds/acre to tons/ac.

The PF will read the rate from the .tgt prescription file and multiply it by

0.0005 and send that rate to the Mark processor.

Target Rate Increment: Determines increment value by which you can

change the manual target rate with each press of Up or Down arrow keys.

Choices are 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0, 500.0, 1000.0, 5000.0 or 10000.0.

Suggested setting for applying lime is 0.1. For applying fertilizer use 1.0

or 10.0.

Actual Rate Scale Factor: Set to 1.000 if applying lime. Set to 0.100 if

applying fertilizer. This setting is required to prevent data loss in the log

file (YLD file) when the units/sec of application get above 3. The rate

actually applied and rate displayed on PF is unaffected by this setting.

When the log file is mapped in Ag Leader SMS mapping program, the

mapped actual rate will be 1/10

of the real rate if the Actual Rate Scale

Factor is 0.100. If it is 0.010, the mapped actual rate will be 1/100

the

real rate. The mapped actual rate can be scaled back up in SMS. The

summary actual rate in SMS is unaffected by this setting.

Press CONTRLER SETTINGS key. Set the following:
