Alternate load-out to mixers: When selected, the discharge locations used in each compartment are set to alternating dry tower mixer discharge locations starting with the one selected for the first compartment. It attempts to use mixers assigned to the same bay, if possible.

 

  • Intended for use with dry systems featuring a pair of mixers.

Specify total quantity: When selected, a numeric keypad appears prompting for the total quantity to be loaded. After clicking the “OK” button on the numeric keypad, the entered quantity is distributed over the load compartments.

Split batches into compartments: When selected, compartments that would be split into more than one batch are split into separate compartments for each batch. This option requires that the “load-out to” is specified for each compartment.

Use application rate: When selected, the total quantity to be dispensed for the load is calculated using the order application rate and the total number of acres specified for the load. The total quantity is then distributed proportionally over all the specified compartments utilizing the transport and compartment capacities.

 

  • Dependent on compatible interface which includes acres in the order data. Operator must specify acres while preparing the load.

Use load count: When selected, the total quantity to be dispensed for the load is calculated using the order total requested, divided by the number of requested loads for the order.
