PRO-MIST DURA® ULV
Before operating the sprayer:
1. Check that all electrical cables and connections
are secure and clean. Be sure the battery is in good
condition and the vehicle’s alternator charges at a
dc voltage, less than 15V (if you are going to connect
the sprayer to the vehicle’s electrical system).
This specification is standard for most vehicles.
2. Check the insecticide delivery system to ensure
that all tubing is securely connected, the filter is
tight and the quick-connect fittings are latched.
3. Add insecticide to the tank. Avoid running
the pump for extended periods without fluid
in the lines.
4. After all connections are complete, reset
the breaker to supply power to the sprayer.
Operation
No spraying should be performed until the pump has
been calibrated to deliver the proper rate of insecticide
to the spray head. Directions for calibration are given
in the following section. Read this section on Operation,
then proceed to the SmartFlow II Control:
Installation,
Operation and Maintenance section.
The SmartFlow II console is used to control the operation
of the sprayer from a location such as the vehicle cab or
the handlebar of an ATV. To power up the machine, first
verify “Spray head” and “Spray” switches on the console
are switched off. You must turn on the
main ON/OFF
circuit breaker switch on the machine located on the
lower half of the Blower stand, under the aluminum heat
sink. When powering off the machine from the console
OFF
switch, this breaker switch on the machine will also
switch to the off position automatically.
The pump will operate only if the spray head is operating
at a speed (rpm) that is above 23,000 rpm and below
30,000 rpm, or the machine is in
CALIBRATION mode.
See Calibration section on page 88 for details
on Calibrating the dispensing rate.
Stopping the pump is a built-in safety feature to prevent
spillage of insecticide. If at any time during operation
the spray head does not rotate fast enough to properly
spray, the controller will automatically prevent the pump
from operating. In an over speed situation, the spray
head motor will shut down automatically at speeds
above 30,000 rpm. This is done to protect the motor.
The main power must be cycled (turned off, then on)
to reset this fault
. Over and under speed faults are now
nearly eliminated with the new speed control feature
that automatically adjusts to maintain the set speed that
is configured in
Special Calibration Mode .
As with any ULV space spraying device that is mounted
on a vehicle, spraying should be done only when the
vehicle is moving forward. Begin spraying only when
vehicle has reached the forward speed for which you
have calibrated the pump, and stop spraying before
stopping the vehicle.
To extend the life of your machine, it is not necessary
to turn off the
SPRAY HEAD switch (located on
SmartFlow II console) when you want to stop spraying
for brief moments, e.g. backing up, a person walking
down the street, etc. Rather, turn off the
SPRAY
switch
(located on the SmartFlow II console). This will stop the
pump and no longer feed additional fluid to the spinning
Hub/Sleeve. The Sleeve will immediately begin to SPIN
dry and within several seconds the machine will no
longer emit a significant volume of droplets.
CAUTION: Do not spray when the vehicle is not
moving, or when backing up because this may
result in insecticide falling on the vehicle or its
operator, as well as overdosing the immediate
area with insecticide.
OPERATION
NOTE: After sleeve has spun dry, the rpm's of
the spray head will rise because the load has
been removed. As chemical is re-introduced to
the sleeve, the rpm's will fall.
To avoid the high
or low rpm limit faults , be sure your set speed is
not configured so close to the limit that faulted
for this variation. It is important to allow several
hundred rpm for normal variation.
