valve Type
This position is used to designate what type of boom shut-off
valve is installed in the system. Use the “+” switch to select
“SOL” for solenoid valves, or “bALL” for ball valves. (The rotary
dial must be in the APP. RATE position, and the jumper cover
on the back of the console must be properly selected; if cover
is on, solenoid is selected, if cover is off, ball is selected).
The console is programmed at the factory for solenoid (SOL)
valves. See illustration 31.
NOTE: The ball valve selection is for use only with valves
that require voltage reversing.

Servo Polarity
This position is used to designate whether the servo valve
(control valve) has been installed in a bypass line (bP) or in
the main supply line going to the flowmeter and boom shut-
off valves (IL). Use the “+” switch to toggle between these
two options (the rotary dial must be in the SPEED position).
The console is programmed at the factory for a bypass
(bP) system. See illustration 30. When the system is used
in conjunction with a Micro-Trak NH3 control panel, always
select “bP” for the servo polarity.
Press to toggle
between options.
32
The MT-3405 M system has two control functions which
are preset at the factory (See Standard Factory­loaded
calibration Values chart on page 31). In some cases, however,
it may be necessary to change one or both of these settings
to enhance performance or meet special requirements.
In order to make these changes, you must enter “Special
Calibration.” To enter this mode:
With the 1. RUN/HOLD switch in HOLD, turn the power
switch OFF.
Turn the rotary dial to the SPEED position.
2.
Press and hold the Calibration (“CAL”) button while 3.
turning the power switch ON.

Test Speed
Test Speed is a built-in ground speed simulator that is used
in performing “Pre-field” checks. When a typical operating
speed is entered, the MT-3405M will respond as if you
were actually driving that speed. It allows you to simulate
your spraying application with plain water, while remaining
stationary, to make certain that all of the equipment is
operating properly and that your sprayer can actually perform
the intended application.
Test speed is cancelled by exiting CAL. Test speed will not
accumulate Distance or Area measurements. Please refer to
Pre­Field System checkout on the next page.
