b) Use of edge nozzles to enlarge the working width at the edge of the field:
-
In this case, the edge nozzle (with a larger spraying angle to the edge of the field) is used
additionally to enlarge the working width at the edge of the field.
-
When programming the sections ( Screens 17/19 ) the corresponding working width must be
programmed for both outer switches L5 and R5 in these cases.
In Screen 16 select the pictogram without X .
§5.15 S
ECTION SIZE
In Screens 17, 18 and 19 the spraying width of the individual sections is input.
Correct entering of the values is a prerequisite for a correct regulation of the application rate and
accumulation of hectares and litres.
The middle section is marked with
M . The remaining sections are numbered from the inside to the
outside and marked for each side with L (left) and R (right).
A maximum of 9 sections can be programmed. The two outer section switches on the control box
are used to switch over edge nozzles. Only in case of using edge nozzles to enlarge the working
width at the edge of the field, a value for the spraying width must be entered for
L5 and R5 (see
Screen 16 ).
§5.16 N
OZZLE SELECTION
In Screen 20 a re-selection of up to 4 nozzles can be made from an extensive list of most common
nozzles. For each nozzle type the size must be inserted. Here, we recommend selecting the
nozzles (type and size) which are used in operation during the entire season or are installed in the
multi-nozzle holder.
When a nozzle type is used for spraying that is not in the list of the Flowmate Control ("unknown
nozzle"), chose the dotted line - - - instead of nozzle type. The needed characteristics of the nozzle
can be inserted in S
creen 22 .
The pre-selection is the prerequisite for the warning function for the pressure range and the drop
size to be used, as only one nozzle from
Screen 20 can be selected in Main screen 2 (see page
29).
