Permanently switching off a section using a sensor
If a sensor for monitoring the unfolding of boom sections is installed on the boom, sections can be
automatically permanently switched off.
This enables the use of a field sprayer with multiple working widths without having to change the
configuration each time.
System delay when switching the sections
For SECTION-Control to be able to open and close the section valves precisely, you must determine
how many milliseconds are required for the liquid to travel from the valve to the nozzle. Afterwards,
the job computer will switch the valves earlier or later accordingly.
You are using the automatic SECTION-Control.
1.
Read the operating instructions for the TRACK-Leader app to find out how to determine the
delay times.
2.
Determine the delay times.

Open the job computer application.

Enter the determined delay times under “Delay on start” and “Delay on stop”.
“Delay on Start” parameter
Time that elapses between the opening of a section valve and the emergence of liquid out of the
nozzles.
Rule of thumb:
▪ If the sprayer switches too late, increase the value of the parameter.
▪ If the sprayer switches too early, decrease the value of the parameter.
“Delay on Stop” parameter
Time during which the nozzles continue spraying after the valve has been closed.
Rule of thumb:
▪ If the sprayer switches too late, increase the value of the parameter.
▪ If the sprayer switches too early, decrease the value of the parameter.
Changing the display of areas on the terminal
You can make different settings to change the display of the areas on the terminal, e.g. for the
TRACK-Leader application.
