PRESSURE GAUGE
The Pressure gauge displays current pressure compared with the
recommended pressure range. Pressure sensor options are used to
enter the sensor manufacturer maximum pressure rating and to set
high and low user-determined pressure alarms.

Recommended pressure range
Displays the recommended pressure range for the selected nozzle.
The pressure range will change depending upon the selected
nozzle, target application rate (including boost/step percent increase/
decrease) and working speed.
IMPORTANT! Always refer to the recommended pressure range as
failure to do so may result in uneven spray patterns.
Current working pressure
Displays the current working pressure.
NOTE: This pressure range should not exceed the recommended
pressure range.
IMPORTANT! Always refer to the recommended nozzle pressure
values when setting nozzle pressure.
Current droplet size
A single nozzle can produce different droplet size classifications
at different pressures. The colours displayed in the recommended
pressure range are directly associated with the current droplet
sizes. The droplet size displays as one (1) of eight (8) classification
categories.

BOOM SECTIONS & SWITCHES
The console operates with nine (9), seven (7) or five (5) section
switches (depending on console model) and one (1) Master switch.
Each section switch is associated with one of up to the same number
of sections on the boom and illustrated on the Operation screen.
►Switches – control individual boom sections
◄On – Flip the switch up
◄Off – Flip the switch down
►Master switch – opens/closes the main product valves and
enables/disables power to individual boom section on/off
switches
◄Cannot be activated outside of the Operation screen
►Boom sections spray status – displays the status of the
section switches in association to the master switch. Number
of sections shown is established in Settings-> OEM->
Implement parameters.
◄Section on, master switch on – spray is blue
◄Section off, master switch on – spray is white
◄Master switch off – spray not shown
