To exit “Special” Calibration, press and hold the CAL button 

for 2 seconds.  The console will store any changes and 

revert to normal operation.

NOTE: you must exit Special Calibration to save changes.

UNITS: 

 Choose the system of units desired.  Turf units are 

the same as English units except Area is in thousands of 

square feet.  Use the “+” 

and “-” buttons to choose 

between EnG (American 

English Units), MEt 

(Metric) and TurF (Turf units).

VALVE VOLTAGE:

  Selects the operating voltage for the 

servo valve.  Factory setting is 12 volts.  Use the “+” and “-” 

buttons to toggle between 

8 and 12 on display.  

NOTE:  

if using an old style Micro-

Trak servo valve, 

(See 

Illustration below), 

set to 8 volts.

MATERIAL: 

 Use “+” and “-” buttons to select between 

liquid (H2O displayed) or anhydrous 

ammonia (nH3 displayed).  If in NH3 mode, 

rates will be displayed in 

pounds (kg) actual N and 

totals will be displayed in 

pounds (kg) anhydrous 

ammonia (NH3).  NOTE: if 

NH3 is selected

, see Appendix F

 for NH3 specific instructions.

VALVE RESPONSE SPEED:

  Allows adjustment of 

response to “tune” the system for use with very fast or 

slow valves.  For example, if using a ball valve 

that takes several seconds to open or close 

in manual mode, and the system responds 

sluggishly, use the “+” button to adjust the 

valve response number 

to 1, 2, or 3.   The range of 

adjustment is -4 to 3, factory 

setting is -1.  

NOTE: Exercise 

caution when increasing the valve response speed.  If 

using a relatively fast valve (1-3 seconds open-to-close), 

the system may become unstable with higher valve 

response speed numbers entered.

FILL TANK SIZE:

  If using the Tank feature, this setting 

can be used to enter the volume of the tank.  Use the 

“+” and “-” buttons to 

choose OFF or any value 

from 1-65,535.  Then 

when the tank is filled, 

the tank counter can be reset to full by 

simply turning the rotary switch to the 

TANK position and pressing the “+” button.  

Depending on the “UNITS” setting, the 

TANK SIZE units will be either gallons or liters.  If “material” 

is set to NH3, the Tank Size will be in lbs. or kg. Anhydrous 

Ammonia (NH3).

TANK ALARM SET POINT:

  Use the “+” and “-” buttons 

to set the desired value.  

This value sets the level 

at which the Warning LED 

starts flashing and the 

word “FILL” flashes on the 

display.  Range is OFF or 1-65,535.  When the 

tank value drops below the set point, the alarms will notify 

the user that the tank level is low.

AUTO SHUTOFF ON/OFF:

  When Auto Shutoff is enabled 

(ON) the servo will run toward minimum flow for 4 seconds 

any time the system is put in HOLD or all 

booms are turned off, or if in AUTO mode and 

speed goes to zero.  This 

feature is normally used 

only in Dry Application 

systems where the HOLD 

condition must stop a hydraulic auger or conveyor belt.

AUTO DELAY TIME:

  Typically used when using relatively 

slow ball valves for boom shut-off, this 

feature delays adjustment of the servo valve 

until the boom valves are open.  Use “+” 

and “-” buttons to set from zero (OFF) to 4 

seconds.
