the TOTAL AREA key for three seconds.
A solid tone will warn that Total Area is about to
be cleared, release the key to abort. Total Area is
cleared at the end of the tone.
FIELD VOLUME
Pressing the FIELD VOL key displays the current
Field and Chemical numbers along with the Date/
Time Stamp. After three seconds Gallons or actual
Nitrogen applied for the current selection will be
displayed.
Field volume may be cleared to zero by depress-
ing the FIELD VOL key for three seconds. This will
clear the Field Volume data accumulated to date
for the currently selected field and chemical num-
bers.
A solid tone will warn that volume is about to be
cleared, release the key to abort. Field Volume is
cleared at the end of the tone.
Clearing the Field Volume also signals that this is
the start of a new Field/Chemical application re-
cord. The record will be stamped with the current
date and time to indicate when the new application
record was started. If you are in NH3 mode, the
new record will be tagged as an NH3 record. The
print out of NH3 application records show the field
volume as pounds of actual nitrogen rather than as
gallons of liquid.
Field Volume accumulates only when the controller
is in Run. Field Volume will not accumulate in HOLD.
