• Flow meters used by the Quantum Mist Smart Sprayer
need to be checked and calibrated on a regular basis.
The following page demonstrates how to maintain and
check your Rapid-check flowmeter. It is recommended
this is done regularly during the spraying season.
FLOWMETER CALIBRATION
As a part of the initial factory testing / calibration, a value
(pulses per litre) will have been recorded and written on
the body of the meter see example on page 32.
To check / improve the resolution of the flow meter
calibration use the below method after having sprayed out
a reasonable volume of liquid (the more sprayed the better
the resolution);
• The current flow meter calibration number in the
controller = X
• Take the total volume the controller says was sprayed
and divided by the actual volume sprayed = Your new
flow meter calibration.
• Then manually enter this number in the controller
settings.
For example;
Current flow cal number (X) = 250. Controller says
we have sprayed 4400L after having put 4000L in
the tank.
250 x 4400 = 1100000
1100000 / 4000 = 275 (new flow cal number)
STEP 1 - ENSURE EQUIPMENT IS IN
GOOD WORKING ORDER
Tank, pump, boom, filters and nozzles must be clean, free
of leakages and functioning properly.
Follow the pre-operation checklist, maintenance and
operating instructions in this manual.
Install, calibrate and operate the spray controller
according to the spray controller operators manual.
A daily check & maintenance of flowmeter
is to
be performed every day after work is finished:
Daily Check & Maintenance of Flowmeter
This is to be performed every day after work is finished:
1. Unscrew the assembly that holds the Rapid Check unit
in the body.
2. Remove the Rapid Check unit from the body.
Unscrew the Rapid Check assembly
Remove the Rapid Check unit
3. Use clean water to wash any impurities out of the
removable turbine unit.
