Overview of MT-3405F

TM

 II Console Func tions

The MT-3405F™  II features two large, easy-to-read liquid crystal displays and a lighted panel for night use.
The right-hand display always shows the application rate and the left-hand display shows data selected by the 
rotary switch. 

Press the On/Off button to turn console on or off.

VOLUME (1) (2) (3):

 Displays total gallons (liters) or lbs. (kg) 

of  NH3  applied.    May  be  reset.    (Note:  VOluME  and  AREA 

counters work in pairs, if VOluME counter 1 is reset, it also 

resets AREA counter 1). 

TANK:

  Displays  gallons 

(liters) of liquid remaining 

or  lbs.    (kg)  of  NH3 

remaining.

MIN  FLOw: 

    used  in  the  calibration  mode  to  enter  the 

minimum flow rate (GPM/lPM) of the spray boom.

AdjUsT  RATE: 

  used  in  calibration  mode  to  enter  an 

amount of change for on-the-go adjustments to the target 

rate (GPA/lPH), or lbs/acre (kg/hectare) N.

TARGET RATE:

 used in calibration mode to enter the target 

application rate (GPA/lPH) or lbs/acre (kg/hectare) N.

AREA  (1)  (2)  (3):

    Keeps  a  running  count  of  the  total  acres 

(hectares) worked.  May be reset.  (Note: VOluME and AREA 

counters work in pairs, if AREA counter 1 is reset, it also resets 

VOluME counter 1). 

AREA/HOUR:

    Displays 

current work rate in acres 

per  hour  (hectares  per 

hour).

wIdTH CAL:

 used in calibration mode to 

enter the working width of your sprayer 

booms or other equipment.

spEEd:

  Displays ground 

speed  in  miles  per  hour 

(kilometers per  hour).

SPEED CAL:

  used in calibration mode to enter the speed 

calibration number in inches (cm) per pulse.

INLINE/bypAss:

  For establishing servo polarity.  (If servo is 

in the main spray line, select “Inline”.  If servo is installed in a 

return line, select “Bypass”.)

TEsT spEEd:

  used in calibration mode to enter a test speed 

in miles per hour (kilometers per hour).

AUTO/MAN:

Key which changes 

operation from 

automatic control 

to  manual.

CAL:

This key is used 

to enter & exit the 

calibration mode.

Key Functions:

pROGRAM KEys:

  

used to increment 

and decrement the 

different calibration 

values.

•  RESET when not 

in CAl, clears the 

selected counter 

when held for 

two sec onds.

•  When in CAL, th

“+” key increases 

and the “-” 

decreases the 

value displayed.

FLOw CAL:

 used in calibration mode to 

enter  the  calibration  value  assigned  to 

your flowmeter (see flowmeter tag.)

Calibration Positions

On / OFF

RUN/HOLd  swITCH: 

    Selecting  the  RuN  position  will 

turn on all active boom valves for AuTO or MANuAl control 

operation.  (Boom switches must be in the up (ON) position.)  

Selecting  the  HOlD position  will  shut  off  all  active  boom 

valves.  (Boom switches may remain in the up (ON) position.)  

The  HOlD  position  is  the  master  hold  for  the  system.    It 

will  override  a  RuN  condition  from  any  remote  run/hold 

switches connected to the system.

bOOM swITCHEs:

  The  console  accumulates  area  based 

on the calibrated boom widths.  When an individual boom 

is  turned  OFF,  the  respective  width  is  subtracted  from  the 

total  width  to  accumulate  area  based  on  the  new  active 

application width.  If a boom switch is ON (up), its respective 

boom shut off valve should be on.  If a boom switch if OFF 

(down), its respective boom shut-off valve should be off.  No 

shut-off  valves  should  be  ON  if  the  Run/Hold  switch  is  in 

HOlD, or in RuN and AuTO while speed is zero.

VOLUME/MINUTE:

  Displays 

total  gallons  (liters)  of  liquid 

applied per minute, or lbs. (kg) 

NH3 per minute.

dIsTANCE:

  Displays distance 

traveled  in  feet  (meters).  May 

be reset.

RATE: 

 Displays application 

rate GPA(lPH), or lbs. N/acre 

(kg of N/hectare).

Calibration Positions

CAL

rESET

WARning LighT:

 Indicates over or 

under application of plus or minus

10% from the Target Rate or if the 

tank is low. Also lit when in CAl.

ON/OFF: 

Press to turn the 

console ON or 

OFF. left-hand 

display shows 

hours of operation
