NOTE:  
If a pressure transducer is not installed on 
the system, skip this step by pressing the 
Program key. Leave the default value at 
“145 PSI/10 Bar”.  
 

Speed Sensor Calibration  

 
NOTE:  
During Speed Calibration, the 844-AB will 
automatically sense whether a Wheel 
Speed or Radar Speed Sensor is being 
used.  
 

Proximity/Magnetic Pulses  

 
The speed sensor must be calibrated in order 
to provide the proper speed and area 
readings. The value is determined by the 
number of pulses generated by the speed 
sensor in 300 feet (100 meters), or by 
manually entering the number.

Automatic Calibration:  

 
To automatically calibrate the speed sensor, 
mark a distance of exactly 300 feet (100 
meters). Press the Plus and Minus keys 
simultaneously to clear the contents of the 
display and activate auto calibration mode. 
“CAL” will be displayed on the lower right  
of the screen.

Drive toward the initial point of the of 
designated 300 feet (100 meters). At the 
starting location, press the Plus key once to 
begin the calibration process. Continue driving 
the course. The 844-AB will count the pulses 
as the sprayer moves. The speed at which the 
vehicle travels is not important. As the ending 
point is reached, press the Plus key again. 
The console will display the speed calibration 
number.  
 
NOTES:  
The auto speed calibration process should 
take place in a field-like environment with 
the sprayer tank at least half full.  
 
It is recommended to repeat the automatic 
speed calibration process at least twice 
and use an average of the speed 
calibration numbers
.
