– “Ignore ME Joystick”: The joystick should be ignored. Setting for the auxiliary job computer
for systems with two job computers.
– “ME-Joyst. only On/Off”: Setting for the auxiliary job computer, if on/off (section main switch)
is deactivated on the S-Box.
▪ “

” parameter:
– “Without ME S-Box”: No S-Box connected.
– “ME S-Box”: Default setting when the S-Box is available.
– “Ignore ME S-Box”: For systems with two job computers, this is the setting for the first job
computer. The signals from the ME S-Box are rejected because this job computer should be
operated with the joystick.
– “ME SBox without On/Off”: Setting for the second job computer.

Calibrating the flow meter
Because the number of impulses per liter can change during the lifespan of a flow meter, calibration
must be carried out in the following cases:
▪ Prior to initial start-up.
▪ At the start of each season.
▪ When you detect deviations between the quantity actually sprayed and the quantity displayed.
▪ When you have replaced or repaired the flow meter.
There are two ways you can calibrate the flow meter:
▪ The tank method – it is time-consuming, but precise.
▪ The nozzle method – it is not as precise as the tank method, but is less time-consuming.
NOTICE
Imprecise calibration
If the calibration is imprecise, the calculations will be very inaccurate and the application imprecise.
◦ Calibrate the flow meter very precisely.
Calibrating the flow meter with the tank method
With the tank method, a large quantity of water will be applied from the tank over a specific time.
The flow meter measures the impulses during this time.
After the application, you must enter the quantity of water that has been applied.
