When the Automatic mode is selected, the console will control
the servo valve to maintain the desired application rate
(GPS/lPH) when the vehicle speed changes or when booms
are turned on or off. Press the AuTO/MAN button to select
AuTOMATIC mode; the AuTO icon will appear in the display.
To operate the system in AuTOMATIC mode, turn on the
desired booms, toggle the RuN/HOlD switch to RuN, and
drive.
IMPOrTAnT nOTE: In AUTO mode, when no speed
signal is available, the system automatically turns all
booms off.
“no SPEEd” will flash in the right-hand display
until the vehicle starts moving, then the console will turn the
booms on and the Application Rate will be displayed in the
right-hand display. The system will automatically adjust the
servo valve to maintain the calibrated TARGET RATE (GPA/lPH).
ON-THE-GO “dELTA” RATE AdjUsTMENTs (AdjUsT
RATE):
To adjust the target application rate on-the-go,
each time the “+” or “-” buttons are pressed, the TARGET
RATE will be increased or decreased by the amount of the
ADJuST RATE which was entered in calibration. Example:
calibrated TARgET RATE = 10.0 gPA and ADJUST RATE = 1.0
GPA, pressing the “+” key once will increase the target rate
from 10.0 to 11.0. The rate display will momentarily show the
new target rate of 11.0 and then show the actual application
rate. Pressing the “-” key once will decrease the target from
11.0 to 10.0.
NOTE: when you “dELTA” the target rate, the
display will momentarily show you the new target rate
and then resume showing the actual application rate. The
new target rate is maintained until further adjustments
are made using the “dELTA” feature or calibration changes
occur, or if the unit is turned off. Important: to use the
dELTA feature, the console must be in AUTOMATIC mode
and the rotary switch can be in any position except TANK,
VOLUME, or AREA.
IN HOLd:
If the system is in AuTO mode and in HOlD or
all booms are off, the “+” and “-” buttons will adjust the
TARGET RATE with the rotary switch in any position except
TANK, VOluME or AREA;
CAUTIOn:
we recommend that
the rotary switch is in the RATE position, because that is
the only position where the new TARGET RATE is displayed
while in HOlD. In RATE position, the left-hand display will
momentarily display the new TARGET RATE, then will revert
to .00, because all the boom valves are off so there is no
product being applied.
UsING THE TANK COUNTER:
With the rotary switch in
the TANK position, the left-hand display shows the amount
remaining in the tank. If a FIll TANK SIZE (tank full) number
has been entered in Special Calibration, the “AuTO FIll”
feature is active; this feature allows the TANK counter to
be quickly reset to a full tank amount by simply pressing
the “+” button with the rotary switch in the TANK position.
The “-” button can be used to reduce the tank counter, but
any press of the “+” will set the counter to the calibrated
FIll TANK SIZE value.
If no TANK VAluE has been entered in calibration, the tank
counter can still be used, but the counter must be manually
adjusted when filled, by pressing and holding the “+” button
until the desired value is reached.
Turn rotary dial to display desired readout.

TANK ALARM:
If a TANK SET POINT (tank low) number has
been entered in Special Calibration, the TANK AlARM feature
is active. When the tank counter value drops below the
TANK SET POINT, the red warning light will flash and “FIll”
will flash on the left-hand display. The “FIll” message will
flash no matter what position the rotary switch is in. Adjusting
the tank value to a value greater than the SET POINT will turn
the alarm off.
In TaNK position, press”+” to
enter full tank amount.
dATA dIspLAyEd IN ROTARy swITCH pOsITIONs
(See the NH3 section in the appendix for NH3 data
description.)
RATE:
Actual number of gallons per acre (liters per hectare)
being applied.
TANK:
Amount (gal or lit) remaining in tank.
VOLUME/MINUTE:
Flow rate in GPM (lPM).
Three independent pairs of counters.
In either the AREA or the VOluME
position, select a pair of counters by
pressing the “+” button. The active pair of counters (1,2,3) is
indicated by the small numbers in the lower right corner of
the left-hand display. DO NOT attempt to select the counter
pair by using the “-” button because it will reset the selected
counter pair to zero. See additional data description below
and see RESETTing SYSTEM COUnTERS section.
VOLUME (1) (2) (3):
Total gallons (liters) applied since the
active counter was last reset to zero.
AREA (1) (2) (3):
The acres (hectares) covered since the
counter was last reset to zero. The area counters do not
accumulate area when the console is in HOlD or if all booms
are turned OFF.
dIsTANCE:
The feet (meters) driven since the counter was
last reset to zero. This counter does not accumulate when
the console is in HOlD. This counter may be reset to zero
independent of other system counters.
AREA/HOUR:
Rate of coverage in acres/hour (hectare/
hour).
spEEd:
Ground speed in miles (kilometers) per hour.
IMPORTANT: all booms automatically shut off if system is in
“HOlD” or if in AuTO with NO SPEED.
