Radion 8140 automatic sprayer control

Maximum pressure manual calibration

1. 

Press the Maximum pressure value 

.

2. 

Enter the maximum allowed pressure limit for the liquid pressure 

sensor.

Figure 26: Manual maximum pressure

Fill flow sensor

The Fill flow sensor establishes the impulses per litre. The Fill flow 

value can be established manually or automatically calibrated.

►Calibration number – enter the amount of impulses counted 

while running one (1) litre of water through the Fill flow 

sensor. Use Automatic calibration to calculate the impulses 

automatically. Manual calibration establishes the calibration 

and limits based on user entered values. 

►Automatic calibration – establishes the calibration if the 

number of impulses per litre for the Fill flow meter is unknown, 

or to make sure the value is correct.

►Impulse count – number of impulses calculated during 

automatic calibration.

►Collected volume – enter the collected volume. 
►Automatic calibration done – to complete the automatic 

calibration, press “Done” when collected volume has been 

entered.

Fill flow sensor automatic calibration

1. Press 

 Calibrate 

 

 to enter automatic calibration mode.

2. 

Prepare to collect the ‘medium’ via the Fill flow sensor (minimum 

of 100 litres).

3. Turn on Master switch 

 to start flow.

4. Press START CALIBRATION button   

.

◄Impulses counted display during automatic calibration

5. Once the desired amount has distributed, press the STOP 

CALIBRATION button   

.

6. Turn off the Master switch 

.

7. Press the Collected volume value 

8. 

Enter the precise volume passed through the Fill flow sensor 

during the calibration.

9. Press 

 Done 

 

 to complete the automatic calibration.

To cancel the calibration, press RETURN arrow 

 or the Home  

button
