Rotary Dial Functions (Cont.)
3. Rotary Dial Position: AREA 1, 2, 3
Function: Acres Sprayed
Three Area counters are provided. When in the
AREA
position the selected counter is indicated by the
Number icon (1, 2, 3) shown in the Data display and a
different counter can be selected by using the
INC
key.
(Note the
DEC
key is not used since that is used to
clear the counter in some models). Cycling power
or brown outs will not change the selection. The user
cannot change the Counter selection while in
CALIBRATE
or
SPECIAL CALIBRATE
but it can be
changed while in Test Speed mode.
Area is only accumulated while in the
VARIABLE
mode (and not “Lo Speed” or “Hi Speed”) and all three
counters are active and will accumulate area (not just
the selected or displayed counter). When in the
CONTINUOUS
or
OFF
mode all three Area counters
stop accumulating area.
In English units it counts from 0.1 – 9,999.9 acres then
drops the decimal point to count up to 99,999 acres.
Metric counts from 0.01 – 999.99 hectares then shifts
the decimal to count up to 9,999.9 hectares, then drops
the decimal point to count up to 99,999 hectares.
Area and Volume counters are coupled together
(as pairs) so selecting Area counter 1 also selects
Volume Counter 1. This was done so the user can easily
see how much Volume was applied to a particular area.
(Volume 1 is always applied to Area 1, and Volume 2 to
Area 2 etc.).
The Speed Cal factor can be changed at any time (be-
fore or after a field is completed) and the correct area
will be re-computed.
All three Area counters are saved to
EEPROM
during
brown-outs or when power is turned off.
NOTE:
Once the display reaches 99,999
it will display OFL (Overflow) in the Data
display window and stop counting. The user
must clear the Area to resume counting.
Use the RESET button for clearing Area.
