8. Maintenance Alert (Countdown Timer)
Selecting “Rate” in Special Calibrate mode displays
ALERT
in the Application Rate display window and
allows the user to enter a “Maintenance Alert Timer”
value which can be adjusted from
OFF
to 100.0 hours
(Default = 0 or Off). When “Off” the feature is disabled.
The SmartFlow II controller for the Pro-Mist Dura comes
with a new feature that helps you keep track of the
condition and maintenance of the disposable porous
sleeve. By utilizing this programmable countdown timer
and adjusting the set time to the average sleeve life you
experience, it can be a vital tool in increasing the life
and performance of your machine.
Sleeve life can vary depending on the purity and type
of formulation used.
Sleeves have been known to run
100 hours +, depending upon the amount and size of
particulate accumulation from the insecticide, as well as
the target rate. (Check sleeve regularly to be sure sleeve
is balanced and not damaged or deformed as this could
cause the sleeve to break apart. Because of high
centrifugal forces, we recommend that safety glasses
are worn when in close proximity to a running spray
head.)
The level of cleanliness of your inline strainer
filter is a good indication of the cleanliness
of the sleeve.
The Maintenance Alert timer can be customized to
fit your demonstrated sleeve life and can be set from
0 or OFF to 100 hours. Attention to inspection and
maintenance is critical for the sleeve as well as the
Strainer filter screen.

TARG, Target RPM
By pressing the CAL button
quickly when in the Maintenance Alert screen, Target
RPM can be found under the "Rate" selection. Target
rate is typically 28,000 RPM. This speed is maintained
during spraying.
NOTE:
NEVER CHANGE SLEEVE WITH HUB
SECURED TO SPRAY HEAD. Damage to spray
head motor is possible. See Sleeve Removal
and Replacement instructions (pages 19 - 21).
After setting your desired Target and Limits, press the
CAL
button and hold momentarily to save the changes.
When the spray head is first turned on the speed will
ramp to your set Target speed. Until the motor warms up
and the Target Speed is reached the display will read
5h
Lo
in the Applications Rate Window.
After the Target Speed has been achieved the console
will display the Target RPM on the Data Display Window
for any variation greater than 2% of the achieved Target.
It is recommended you allow the spray head motor to
warm up for several minutes prior to turning on the
spray, even if the Target Speed has been achieved.
