CALIBRATING THE FILLING FLOWMETER:
It is necessary to calibrate the filling flowmeter before it can be used accurately.
Using the program in the TeeJet 5000 for calibration makes this process easy. The
accuracy of this calibration depends on the amount that is used for calibration. The
following example uses 1000 lt.
1. Press the “FLOW FIGURE” key in the under-menu.
2. Check that a flow figure has been encoded; if not then encode e.g. 5000 as a
start figure.
3. Press the return key to go back to the previous screen.
4. Encode an amount in “FILL VOLUME” that is approx. twice as much as you
expect to fill into the tank.
5. Select “START FILLING” in the under-menu.
6. Fill the sprayer with an exact known amount, through the filling flowmeter
(1000 Lt. In this example).
Fill the sprayer under normal working conditions (same pressure, time, etc).
7. Select “FLOW FIGURE” again, move the cursor to “TANK LIT” and encode
the exact known amount that was filled in to the sprayer (1000 Lt. In this
example)
8. Press the flashing “CALC. FLOW” and the flow figure is automatically
calculated.
FILL MODE: You can select whether a valve stops filling or whether a horn is
blown when the correct amount has been filled into the sprayer.
Pressing the
RETURN key brings the sprayer menu back.
