H3 CONTROL BOX
The control box of the Flowmate Control FMC (fig. 1) contains an electrical remote control for the
spraying functions and the hydraulic functions (spray boom and drawbar) and the actual spraying
computer.
§3.1 S
PRAYING FUNCTIONS
The following spraying functions can be electrically remote controlled on the control box (fig. 1):
Central switch “Spraying” On/Off (1)
When the central switch is operated (1) all the Section valves (7) (fig. 2) are opened or
closed at the same time (Switch upwards = valves are open).
Section switch (2)
When the Section switch is operated, (2) the Section valves (7) (fig. 2) are opened or
closed (Switch upwards = valve is open).
Switch for edge nozzles or Sections (3)
The two outside switches (3) can be used to switch edge nozzles. There are 2 possibilities
for this:
a) Edge nozzle for precise edge-of-field spraying:
In this case, there is a switch-over between the outermost nozzle and the edge
nozzle (with a smaller spraying angle to the outside).
The working width is not altered.
b) Edge nozzle to enlarge the working width at the edge of the field:
In this case, the edge nozzle (with a larger spraying angle to the outside) is used
additionally in order to enlarge the spraying width at the edge of the field.
Note: The kind of use of the two outside switches (3) must be pre-selected in the " Setting
menu” ( screen 16 ) of the spraying computer.
Switch for pressure adju/- (4)
When the switch is operated (4), the spraying computer automatically switches from
Automatic to Manual mode. At the same time, the pressure regulation motor (8) (fig. 2) is
actuated in the direction in question ( + or - ) as long as the switch (4) is held down. The
spraying pressure (bar) can thus be altered manually. The actual spraying pressure can be
read of the manometer on the machine
Attention: The desired spraying pressure has to be set while spraying (central switch
spraying "
On ")
Switch for return agitator (5)
Motor (9) (fig. 2) for the agitator switch-off is actuated via switch (5). The return agitator can
be switched off as required, e.g. for complete emptying of the container or also for foaming
pesticides.
Note: The fact that the agitator has been switched on can be seen by a rotating beam (6)
in the top left of the display (
main menu, screen 1 ) (fig. 1).
