§5.7 S
TEP WIDTH WHEN ALTERING THE APPLICATION RATE
In Screen 9 the step width, with which the application rate in l/ha per push of a button can be
adjusted in Main screen 1 , can be set. The step width can be set between 1 and 20 l/ha (basic
setting = 10 l/ha).
§5.8 T
OTAL MEMORY
Screen 10 contains a total memory, in which the total sprayed area in hectares and the consumed
amount in hectolitres are accumulated regardless of the parcel memory in the main menu. For
example, the values for a complete spraying period can be accumulated here.
To delete the values, the arrow key must be pressed in input mode (see page 25).
§5.9 S
PEED SIGNAL
In Screen 11 you must select the signal to be used for the speed measurement (basic setting =
Tractor).
There are 3 possibilities of selection:
1. Tractor: The speed signal comes from a speed sensor on the tractor (sensor on the wheel or
cardan shaft) or is taken on from the tractor electronics via an adapter wire.
In both cases, there is a connection to the 7-poled socket on the back of the control
box.
2. Radar: The speed signal comes from a radar sensor on the tractor which is connected via the
7-poled socket on the back of the control box.
3. Machine: The speed signal comes from a wheel sensor on the sprayer (trailed sprayer). The
sensor is connected to the SHC box on the sprayer.
§5.10 C
ALIBRATION OF THE DRIVING SPEED
In Screen 12 there is the calibration of the driving speed.
If the speed is measured by radar, the calibration is done in Screen 13 .
In order to calculate the driving speed, the system must know how many impulses the speed
sensor emits per metre of driven distance. The number of impulses depends on the circumference
of the wheel and the number of transmitters per revolution.
