TITLE
The Hiniker 8160 is a computerized system that will
enable you to apply liquid chemicals, including Anhy-
drous Ammonia at a predetermined rate.
The 8160 console allows you to individually set up
and calibrate two separate console configurations,
one for spray applications and one for NH3 applica-
tions. There is no need to recalibrate when changing
applications. All data and Set-Up information is per-
manently stored for each application.
The 8160 console in conjunction with a speed sensor,
flowmeter, and servo valve perform the necessary
calculations and adjustments to perform “on-the-go”
adjustments to the selected rate of application.
The console uses the inputs of actual flow, speed,
and user selected functions to calculate the actual
Volume Per Area (VPA). This is then compared to the
rate selected by the operator to generate a percent-
error signal. This signal then causes the Servo Valve
to make corrections to the flow. This continues until
the VPA error is zero. See drawing 5791.
The following is a list of features available with this
system.
– Dual Modes: Set-Up, Calibration, and Data are
stored separately for Spray and NH3 modes.
– Non-Volatile Memory; Set-Up Data, Volume and
Area are stored in permanent memory; no exter-
nal power is required.
– Inline and bypass system configurations.
– The Servo Valve response rate is adjustable.
– One, two, or three section control using motor-
ized ball valves or electric solenoids for individual
boom control.
– Boom section widths are individually set.
– Selection of Rate 1, Rate 2, Manual or Variable
Rate control.
– Display smoothing adjustable from 1 to 10%.
– Warning lamp and horn activates when applica-
tion error is greater than 10%.
– A settable minimum flow to prevent poor spray
patterns when slowing down at low speeds.
– A built in speed simulator for setting up the spray-
er.
– Diagnostics for testing the Speed, Flow, and Run/
Hold inputs.
– The ability to measure Distance.
– Run/Hold feature.
– The Remote Run/Hold option is available at the
console and the implement.
– A 2 line display with five display selections avail
-
able. Target Rate (Always Displayed), Actual
Rate, % Error, Speed, Volume, and Area.
– The 8160 is backward compatible with the 8150
system wiring and bracket using a simple adapter.
