"AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS" - F2 AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT ON/OFF
13.1
Output adjustment
Delta 80 can control chemical output with an automatic adjustment function (par. 13.2,
DEFAULT: ON
).
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT ON
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OFF (MANUAL)
Delta 80 keeps the set application rate constant regardless of the changes in speed
and boom section status.
Rate manual regulation shall be carried out with the suitable
switch
(par. 12.2).
In this case the spray rate can be set with the function
(par. 16.1), or by uploading a prescription map (par. 13.3) from one of the external
memories (pendrive).
If necessary, during spraying, it is possible to intervene on the dedicated switch
(par. 12.2) to adjust output to crop conditions, increasing or decreasing
momentarily the application rate up to ±50%.

Importing and using a prescription map
Fig. 257
Delta 80 can vary output by using the data contained in a "prescription map", which indicates
the exact quantity of fluid that must be sprayed at every point in the field.
The map is created thanks to a special analysis and simulation software. The correct spray rate
is established for every point on the map, in order to obtain the optimal yield from a field with the
minimum expenditure in terms of materials and time.
To enable Delta 80 to read and use the collected information, the following is required:
- The prescription map must be in "Shapefile ESRI
®
" format.
- The database field containing the indication of the spray rate that must be applied
to the different areas must be named "Rate".
- The database may include other fields, provided that these contain exclusively numerical
values (the presence of any alphabetic characters will prevent the database from being
imported correctly).

At this point you must transfer the prescription map from one of the external memories (pendrive) onto Delta 80:
• Create a new folder named "maps" on the used memory.
• Save the map in the just created map.
• Copy the map onto the internal memory, through the menu
Files copy to internal memory > Maps from USB
(par. 14.4.4).
• Select one of the functions in the menu "Home":
(par. 14.3) or
(par. 14.5).
• In the job start screen select the desired prescription map.
• Proceed with the job. According to the position detected by the GPS receiver, Delta 80 will use the appropriate spray rate for the area that is being
sprayed (Fig. 257).
If the tractor is on a "black" area on the map, i.e., without a spray rate indication, Delta 80 stops spraying by managing every single section.
