5. Target Rate
TARGET RATE
displays the Target Application rate
for
VARIABLE
and
CONTINUOUS
mode (automatic
control). Up to three different Target Rates can be
programmed in oz/acre or from mLiter/Hectare. Since
a typical rate is 1.00 oz/acre (73.1 mL/Hectare) this
provides excellent resolution and range.
The
Rate
toggle switch (Rate 1, 2 or 3) will determine
which target Rate is selected and the number icon
(1, 2 or 3) will be displayed in the Application Rate
display window.
Target Rate
is displayed with one or more decimal
places depending on the flow rate as shown below. It
can range from 0.01 – 99,999.
