Setting Operating Depth

Begin field operation by lowering unit into soil. For good electrical conductivity, all disk electrodes

must be in direct contact with moist soil, at all times and in every region of the field. A depth of 1-2”

(2.5-5 cm) is recommended (Figure 13). To insure this depth is consistently achieved, 400 lbs (180

kg) of additional weight are normally required. Veris offers optional weights, or they can be

supplied by the customer. Lower unit until proper disk depth is achieved, or until wheels are

slightly (<.5 inch/ 1 cm) off the ground.

Field Condition

Field should be in a uniform state. Mapping after intensive primary tillage is not recommended. The

soil must have a minimum of 20% available water, and cannot be frozen. If rocky conditions exist,

slow down.

Speed

Proper field operating speed depends on field conditions. Because of the importance of consistent

contact, the unit must not be allowed to bounce over rough fields at high speeds.

• Be very careful when mapping stubble fields using a vehicle with a gasoline engine. Be prepared

if a fire starts. Keep crop residue and other debris from accumulating near the exhaust and in

engine compartment.
