13.9.1 Determining the actual spray rate by driving a calibration distance
Also with control terminal / AMASPRAY
+
adjust the rate in manual
mode according to the spray pressure as per the spray table.
1. Fill the spray liquid tank with water.
2. Switch on the agitator (normally at stirring stage "2").
3. Switch on spraying and check that all nozzles are functioning
perfectly.
4. Set the spray pressure for the desired rate [l/ha] in accordance
with the spray table.
5. Switch off spraying.
6. Fill the spray liquid tank with water up to the full mark that ap-
pears on both sides (it may be necessary to reattach the mark).
7. In the field, measure out a calibration distance of precisely 100
m. Mark the beginning and end points.
8. Adjust the tractor engine speed to a constant rate with the man-
ual accelerator lever, taking into account the pump drive speed
(min. 400 rpm and max. 550 rpm).
9. With a rolling start, drive the calibration distance from the begin-
ning to the end point at the prescribed operational speed. Switch
on the sprayer boom precisely at the beginning point of the cali-
bration distance and off again at the end point.
10. Determine the volume of water applied by refilling the spray liq-
uid tank
ο
using a measuring container,
ο
by weight or
ο
using a water meter.
a [l] x 10,000
= Spray rate [l/ha]
b [m] x c [m]
a: Water consumption over the calibration distance [l]
b: Working width [m]
c: Length of the calibration distance [m]
Example:
Water consumption a: 80 l
Working width b: 20 m
Length of the calibration distance c: 100 m
80 [l] x 10,000
= 400 [l/ha]
20 [m] x 100 [m]
