PRODUCT FEATURES / FAMILIARISATION
The (350mm each side) Wide Tower option (Photo 6) is the
supplied option for rows of 3.3m and above.
Boom Position Sensor
Each of the 2 main booms uses a boom position sensor,
shown here (Photo 7). These boom position sensors have
been factory calibrated to measure the booms working
width. This allows varying row widths to be set from the
cab via the Fusion controller.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The Smart Sprayer using Fusion
control employs quite different
hydraulics from the Croplands
“Classic” Quantum Mist Sprayer.
The key difference is that each
fan frame, be it 2 or 3 fans
per frame, is its own separate
hydraulic circuit **.
Assuming sufficient oil supply,
this enables all fans to be run
at (or near) maximum speed
whilst keeping (relatively) low
pressures and temperatures.
Troubleshooting is also easier.
** Note in some markets
(smaller tractors / not requiring a
Micro Power Pack), the plumbing
is more “traditional” using circuits
of 4 or 6 fans.
For more details refer to the oil
flow schematic.
Each circuit connects to a specially developed “Fusion”
hydraulic block. All hydraulic boom functions, such as
boom fold cylinders are also connected to the same block.
Therefore, the operation of all functions connected to
the main block are controlled by the Fusion controller
(and joystick).
Note, to open and close boom arms require the Fusion
controller and hydraulics to be activated.
Micro Power Pack
Most of the larger Quantum Mist Smart Sprayers will
be equipped with the Micro Power Pack in one of 2
configurations, sized as is appropriate for your sprayer.
• Single pump or
• Dual pump.
There is a separate manual for the Micro Power Pack,
HT-OMMICRO-A
, first published in August 2020.
Safety;
Always be aware of the PTO shaft.
