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.
WARNING DEVICE
The console is equipped with a RED warning light. The
light will automatically turn on and flash when the actual
application is plus or minus 10 percent of the calibrated
target rate, or if the TANK alarm feature is activated and
the tank is below the set point (display will also flash “FILL”
message). If the light stays on while in AUTO, refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual. The RED warning
light will also be illuminated when calibration mode is
active on the console.
AUDIBLE ALARM
The Audible Alarm is activated for the following conditions:
•
The calculated Tank level is below minimum level
(TANK ALARM SET POINT).
•
Float switch is continuously active for 15 seconds or
more.
•
The Application Rate Error is greater than 10% for 3
seconds (continuously) after the Auto Delay and Start
Up time have completed and the console is in AUTO,
and the Ground Speed is above the Alarm Minimum
Speed.
EMERGENCY STOP
When in AUTO and in RUN with one or more Booms on and
the Speed is greater than zero, if the Flow signal ever stops,
the servo will run to fully open. If Flow remains stopped
for 5 seconds or more, it will automatically reduce the flow
to a minimum (run Servo for 4 seconds). “EStOP” will then
display to notify the user of the Emergency Stop. The flow
remains off (or reduced) and AUTO control will remain
disabled until the system goes into HOLD, power is cycled
or CALIBRATE is entered. The Emergency Stop feature helps
protect against “chemical spills” or over-application if the
Flow signal is lost.
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.

(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.
