[QUOTE="TomR, post: 7469195, member: 128044"] Hi [USER=8448]@Case290[/USER], The radar sensor does have a calibration factor, so it's worth making sure the forward speed on the Artemis matches the tractor. As HCC mentioned, the area adding up is the best check on this. If the width and area are correct then you know the radar sensor is working correctly. If it stopped reading speed at any point it would have popped an alarm up. After that, knowing the calibration is coming out correctly, the best test is to run it with the fan going and collect the seed at the coulters, then you can see exactly what is coming out the back, and test the seed flow through the drill. If you run a simulated speed (User menu - speed sensor factor - SIM speed down the bottom right corner), this will let the system run as if you were in the field. Then you can either put some bags on the coulters to catch the seed, or just put a big sheet down in a barn to do the same thing. Run the fan up as normal and put it into work for a set amount of time. I would suggest clearing one of the totals and let it run until it's accumulated a few kg, or covered a certain area. Weigh off the seed and see how the numbers compare. If they don't match up then you know there is an issue with how the seed is flowing out of the metering unit through the drill when the fan is running. If you want to talk through this any further then please feel free to drop me a message, or give Topcon Technology (RDS) a call and have a chat with our support team for some more detail - (01453) 733300 [/QUOTE]
