TITLE
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Hiniker 8605 controller is a computerized sys-
tem that will enable you to apply liquid chemicals,
including Anhydrous Ammonia at any given rate.
The 8605 controller allows you to set up a system
individually calibrated to your specific needs.
The 8605 controller in conjunction with a Speed Sen-
sor, Flowmeter, and Servo Valve performs the neces-
sary calculations to perform “on-the-go” adjustments
to the rate of application of chemicals.
The controller uses the inputs of actual flow, speed,
and user selected functions to calculate the actual
application rate in GPA (Gallons Per Acre of liquid)
or PPA (Pounds Per Acre of nitrogen). This is then
compared to the target rate selected by the operator
to generate an adjustment amount. The adjustment
is sent to the Servo Valve which, in turn, adjusts the
actual flow. This process continues until the actual
rate matches the target rate. The following figure is a
block diagram showing the basic operation.
The following is a list of features available with this
system.
- Anhydrous Ammonia System Configuration.
- Inline or Bypass System Configuration.
- Stepper Motor Valve Control.
- Up to five section control of electric solenoid valves
or motorized ball valves for individual boom control.
- Boom section widths may be individually set.
- Selection of Rate 1, Rate 2, Manual, or External
Rate Control.
- Adjustable Minimum Flow Limit.
- Adjust Rate 1, Rate 2, on the Go.
- Warning Lamp and audible alarm when the applica-
tion error is greater than 10%.
- Low battery indicator.
- Local Run/Hold.
- Remote Run/Hold Option.
- Dual line Sunlight Readable Display - any two selec-
tions displayed at once.
- Ten Display Selections are Available - Rate, Percent
Error, Speed, Distance, Volume per Minute, Field
Area, Total Area, Field Volume, Total Volume, and
Time/Date.
- Simplified System Distance Calibration.
- Easy Min./Max. GPM Determination.
- Non-Volatile Memory for setup data retention.
- Non-Volatile memory for storage of field acres, field
volume, and date/time for up to 99 fields and 16 dif-
ferent chemicals per field.
