HANDGUN MODE, SET-UP FUNCTIONS
: First put the TASC in the Handgun mode. To do this,
set the switches on the boom control panel as follows: 1) set the boom width switch to "Auto",
2) set the mode switch to "Handgun", 3) set the ground speed switch to "OFF". Now, Turn the
TASC power "ON" and put the mode selector switch to "SET-UP".
The following programing functions are available in the TASC console:
SPEED: An "Err" message will appear (GSO is not available in the handgun mode).
AREA: Area will not accumulate in handgun mode.
CHEMICAL, VOL. APPLIED: This is the pump calibration number for each injection pump (see section
4.7 in the TASC Manual).
CHEMICAL, CHEM. RATE: With pump switch in the "ON" position, program the rate as ounces per 100
gallons of carrier (use the INC/DEC switch to set this rate). With pump switch in the "ALT" position,
the display will read as a ratio (i.e. 1:100, gal:gal, or oz:oz, chemical:carrier). The rate can be
programmed with pump switch in either position.
CHEMICALS, % RATE: Use the INC/DEC switch to select the desired rate change % for chemicals or
carrier.
CARRIER RATE: Use the INC/DEC switch to set the desired carrier rate in gallons per minute.
CARRIER TOTAL APPLIED: The flow meter calibration number (section 4.5 in the TASC Manual).
WIDTH: The message "none" will appear (boom width is not used in the handgun mode).
DISTANCE: The distance calibration number (section 4.6 in the TASC Manual).
PRIME: The prime volume for each pump (section 4.7.4 in the TASC Manual).
TEST SPEED: Using the INC/DEC switch, set a test flow rate in gallons per minute (this rate is required
before pumps can be accurately calibrated).
SCAN: An "Err" message will appear (there is no programming in SCAN).
HANDGUN MODE, OPERATE FUNCTIONS:
Now put the TASC mode selector switch to
"OPERATE". The following programing functions are available in the TASC console:
SPEED: This is a direct reading of ground speed.
AREA: Area will not accumulate in the handgun mode.
CHEMICAL, VOL. APPLIED: Accumulated ounces as they are applied, switches to hundredths of gal-
lons after 256 ounces are accumulated.
CHEMICAL, CHEM. RATE: This register will indicate the programmed standard rate (oz per 100 gal-
lons) regardless of the switch position "ON" or "ALT" , With pump switch in the "ALT" position,
the display will read as a ratio (i.e. 1:100, gal:gal, or oz:oz, chemical:carrier).
CHEMICALS, % RATE: Allows changing chemical injection rates a preset percentage (section 5.4.2.1
in the TASC Manual).
CARRIER RATE: Displays target carrier application rate. Actual carrier flow rate in gallons per minute
will be displayed once flow is established. The INC/DEC switch will change the carrier rate by
the percentage amount programmed in the "Chemicals, % Rate" register (injected rates will not
be affected).
CARRIER TOTAL APPLIED: Accumulated gallons applied.
WIDTH: "none" (boom widths are not used in the handgun mode.)
DISTANCE: Accumulated distance in feet or miles.
PRIME: Used for priming the injection pumps (section 5.5 in the TASC Manual).
TEST SPEED: The gallons per minute programmed in the "SET-UP" mode is displayed.
SCAN: Scans information in the accumulators and registers.
