Variable Rate Control Quick-Start

The Degelman variable rate control package comes

with the following components:

A. NT8000i Head Unit Control Module

B. Tractor Terminator Box Cable

C. 6M extension Cable

D. GPS KIT

E. RAM Mount for Control Module

F. Digi-Star Manuals & Reference Material

INTRODUCTION

1. First, remove the GPS module from its package.

The bottom of the GPS Module is magnetized to

easily install on a metal roof. If the tractor roof is not

magnetic, a metal plate with adhesive is included.

2. Mount the GPS Receiver on the roof of the tractor.

Try to mount as high as possible with clear view of

sky.

Note: Install as far away from tractor GPS receiver

as possible.

3. Plug the GPS into the TOP PORT of the Control

Module.

INSTALLING GPS

1. Take the Tractor Terminator Box Cable & plug the

“Indicator Connector” into the “Main Connector”

port of the Control Module.

2. Plug the “Power Connector” into the tractor’s power

supply.

3. Connect the “Machine Connector” end of the cable

to the cable coming from the spreader.

Note: If the spreader cable does not reach, use the

6M extension cable provided.

Variable Rate Control Quick-Start

1. Additional work measurement functions are

displayed on the INFO screen. The picture on the

right explains the INFO screen icons.

INFO SCREEN

1. Push the button to enter the setup menu.

This menu allows you to customize your “USER

OPTIONS” (i.e. Time/Date, Units, Language, &

Brightness) & select you “PRODUCT” (i.e. Light,

Medium & Heavy)

Note: You can add & edit different product names

depending on what you’re spreading.

SETUP SCREEN

1. Push the power button on the Control Module to turn

it on. The screen will power on & display the main

screen.

Note: Refer to the DIGI-STAR operation manual

provided to walk you through the display screens

more in depth.

2. The picture on the right explains the main screen

icons.

Note: Make sure the “Rate Control” & Dynamic

Weighing Calibration are both set to “AUTO” so

the unit can constantly adjust to different density

materials.

3. The “Min/Max Motor speed indicator” shows the

ﬂoor conveyor motor speed. The faster you drive,

the faster the ﬂoor conveyor will move. For optimal

performance try to keep the gauge in the middle.

142670 - Rate Control System (29-April-2019)

Variable Rate Control Quick-Start

1. Load the spreader with as much manure as possible.

This is necessary to determine what type of manure

it is (light, medium, or heavy).

LOAD SPREADER

1. Once the spreader is hooked up & the unit is

powered on the load cells must be set to 0. To do

this ﬁrst go to the INFO screen.

2. Next, click the “Load Cells Option” button.

3. Ensure that the Spreader is EMPTY & HORIZONTAL.

Push the “TARE” key. This will set the hopper weight

back to 0 lbs.

Note: Ensure that both DYN & AUTO are selected.

TARE LOAD CELLS

Recommended Product Type & K Values for Full

Spreader Loads (M34)

Digi-Star Product Type Fully Loader Spreader T Factor

Light < 10 Tons ≈0.6

Medium 10 - 20 Tons ≈1.3

Heavy 20+ Tons ≈2.0

Typical Application Rate for Different

Types of Manure

Animal Rate (Tons/Acre)

Cow 15 - 20

Pig 15 - 20

Chicken 2 - 5

1. Once the spreader is fully loaded, the proper

product must be selected. To do this, ﬁrst go to the

SETUP screen (Refer to Setup Screen Step).

2. Next, select the Product key

on the bottom left.

3. Using the arrow keys, select the appropriate product

(light, medium or heavy). Use the table shown to

determine the product type.

SELECT PRODUCT

1. Next, return to the “MAIN” screen,

punch in your desired application

rate, & hit the “Enter” key.

2. The picture on the right shows typical application

rates for different types of manure.

3. The new value will be displayed

in the target window.

INSERT DESIRED RATE

142670 - Rate Control System (29-April-2019)

1. When the spreader is empty turn off the PTO, Close

the gate, & turn off the ﬂoor conveyor.

2. The spreader should now be “Out of Work”.

3. The INFO screen will display the amount of Manure

spread & the Area covered during the run.

4. Reﬁll the Spreader & repeat the “Begin Spreading”

Step & “End of Run” Step until complete.

END OF RUN

1. If you want to stop the ﬂoor conveyor while

still driving you can use the stop button on the

terminator box cable. This gives you more control

of where you spread. For example, when you reach

the end of your ﬁeld & still have product left in the

hopper. You can stop the ﬂoor conveyor, take the

turn, and then start the ﬂoor conveyor again. This

helps eliminate overlap & unintentional manure

coverage.

Note: When the stop button is engaged, the unit

does not count acres.

USE OF STOP BUTTON

Variable Rate Control Quick-Start

1. Now the spreader is ready to spread. Pull the

spreader to its desired location & stop.

2. Start the PTO.

3. Raise the Gate.

IMPORTANT: Before starting the table, the

operator should get the beaters up to speed and

fully open the rear gate. This prevents the spreader

from overworking itself from material being pulled

up against the rear gate. Failure to do so may cause

costly damage or equipment failure.

4. Switch the ﬂoor conveyor hydraulics on.

5. Push the Pre Start button

(ﬂow will begin moving)

6. Begin driving.

BEGIN SPREADING

Note: If the ﬂoor conveyor does not begin moving

the red stop button on the terminator junction cable

may have been pushed. If so, push the red button to

put the spreader back into work.

In work = on the main screen.

Note: Make sure the “Rate Control” & Dynamic

Weighing Calibration are both set to “AUTO” so

the unit can constantly adjust to different density

materials.

Variable Rate Control Quick-Start

MANUAL MODE / REVERSE FLOOR

To set a “Beater RPM” Alarm to inform you of Beater/

Driveline issues or a ‘Min Hopper Weight’ Alarm to

inform you that you’ve reached the end of your load.

1. Press to select the ‘Setup’ Menu.

2. Select the “ALARMS SETUP” button

at the base of the screen.

3. Select the appropriate alarm threshold using the

arrow keys, and enter the value via the numeric

keypad.

Note: Ensure BEATER 2 RPM Alarm is always set

to 0 RPM. The spreader will not switch into “work

position” if these values are not set to 0.

SETTING ALARMS

Under normal operating conditions you will not need to

select this mode, however, in the event you experience

a problem with automatic control (if for example the

beaters plug or a sensor has stopped working), you

can control the ﬂoor chain manually.

1. Select “MAN” from the ‘MAIN’ screen.

Ensure the hydraulics are switched ‘ON’.

2. Press to adjust ﬂoor speed.

To maintain the required application rate,

you must maintain a constant forward speed.

Note: To reverse the ﬂoor push the “UP” arrow until

the speed indicator is in the optimal range then

reverse the hydraulic ﬂow.
