Acre meter AGRETO AgriCounter Drive

The estimation of the processed areas for rental machines costs the landlord real money. It is always rounded off or not recorded truthfully. With the AgriCounter, guessing comes to an end, now it is billed truthfully.

The AgriCounter Drive works completely without an external power supply and without external sensors susceptible to manipulation. The meter is screwed firmly to the machine during assembly and 2 screws are secured with a clearly numbered seal. Thereafter, zeroing, setting parameters or removing the batteries are only possible by visibly breaking the seal.

The robust housing without externally accessible sealing surfaces guarantee reliable operation under all operating conditions.

With the AgriCounter Drive, the billing of the machine application can be carried out according to the real wear-relevant service life. Service intervals can also be optimized.

When delivered, the meter is a standard hectare meter (operating mode a). For special applications it can be configured before installation.

As a hectare counter, the AgriCounter Drive is particularly suitable for tillage implements and other implements with chassis or support wheels or other parts that rotate depending on the path during use. As a distance counter, the AgriCounter Drive can be used on all transport vehicles to monitor mileage.

You screw the supplied mounting plate to the rim of a wheel. Then mount the meter on the mounting plate and attach the seal.

The AGRETO AgriCounter Drive rotates itself around its own axis during use. The number of rotations is counted. To determine the distance, the revolutions are multiplied by the circumference of the wheel. To calculate the area, it is also multiplied by the working width.

The counter works with a modern 3-axis acceleration sensor. With this sensor, movements, vibrations and changes in direction of the machine are recorded in all 3 planes. Depending on the operating mode set, the operating hours are also displayed.

Basically, the counter starts with a sufficiently large vibration or movement immediately with the count. Thereafter, however, it is waited whether further movements follow within the set bridging time (standard setting 20 seconds). If not, the time is not counted and the counter returns to its initial state. When movements follow, the time from the first move is counted. With this logic, such movements that do not represent use of the machine are filtered out.

Basically, the default settings of the AgriCounters are already set appropriately for most applications. In order to change settings anyway, the housing must be opened and with the inside buttons the settings menu is called up to change the appropriate parameters. This usually happens during assembly before the meter is sealed. A subsequent possibility for the user to change a setting without destroying the seal is not possible.

Yes, but only over the keys inside the case. For the user, zeroing is thus not possible without visible damage to the seal. The owner may be able to zero the meter at the start of the season or when changing the meter to another machine, but must then attach a new seal afterwards.

With each device 5 clearly numbered seals are supplied, if necessary, further seals are available as spare parts.

The batteries last about 3 years. If the battery symbol lights up on the display, the batteries should be replaced.

Yes, the seal must be destroyed and the device must be opened. Then a new seal is attached.

All AAA size batteries can be used.

Special batteries are dangerous goods and there are many regulations and restrictions during shipping. Taking these requirements into account would make country-specific versions necessary and would make the product unnecessarily expensive.

Yes, as long as there is an indication on the display, the counter continues to operate normally. If there is no longer any indication on the display, there is no counting. In this transition phase, the counting can be unreliable and cannot be guaranteed.

Yes, the data is saved in a permanent memory, the meter continues to work with the new battery with the existing data.

No, it is not intended.

Yes, the seals are available as accessories in a set of 10 pieces.

The original seals from Agreto have the word "AGRETO" printed on them and are clearly and consecutively numbered. If you as the landlord make a note of the seal's serial number, you can be absolutely sure whether a customer has opened the meter or tampered with the seal.
