5) With the tube placed in the beaker, press and hold the calibration switch and watch for all air
bubbles to be evacuated from the tubing. Release the button and empty the beaker back into the
formulation tank.
6) Place the tube back into the empty beaker and press and hold the Calibration Switch for 20
seconds and then release the switch. To determine the pump output from this test multiply the
measured amount by 3 (3 x 20 seconds = 60 seconds =1 minute). This will be your output per
minute.
Example:
If you measured a volume of 80 milliliters (ml) you would then multiply 80 x 3 = 240 ml/minute flow
rate. To convert milliliters to ounces, divide the amount of milliliters by 29.57. Therefore, your
flow rate would have been: 240 divided by 29.57 = 8.1 ounces/min.
CAUTION
Using the Calibration Switch does not activate the
Atomizer and Blower. Therefore, the atomizer
will not rotate during calibration. Once the switch
is depressed, liquid will begin to be pumped!
7) Adjust the pump indicator up or down and re-calibrate to achieve the desired flow rate.
8) Close the stainless steel pump cover and reconnect the formulation delivery tube. Both the
stainless steel cover and the fiberglass pump enclosure can be locked if desired.
IMPORTANT
The FMI pump is a very reliable device. With its microprocessor speed control circuit, it delivers a
very precise output. For the output to remain accurate, the battery must be adequately charged. On
stand alone installations since calibration is done using the sprayer battery, always calibrate the
machine with the battery fully charged. On vehicle mounted installations , calibrate the sprayer with
the vehicle's engine running.
Optional Radar Syncroflow™ Variable-Flow-Control
Thel Dyna-Jet L30 machine can be equipped with the Dyna-Fog Radar Syncroflow. This system
enables the operator to set the machine to automatically vary the pump output proportionate to
vehicle speed. If your machine is equipped with this feature,
refer to the separate Radar Syncroflow
Operation Manual prior to operating.
Operation
Once the pump has been calibrated you are then ready to begin preparation for spraying. If your
machine is equipped with the Dyna-Fog Radar Syncroflow variable flow control system, read the
steps in this manual under
Variable Flow Control prior to calibrating your machine.
Preparation Steps:
1)
Make sure the Remote Box is connected properly and mounted within easy reach of the
operator and that all switches are in the "OFF" position.
