micro-trak FLOWTRAK II, Справочное руководство, Страница: 26 / 44

HOLd selected for Control Mode
( See page 30 to operate the system in the Batch (TANK FILL)
mode.)
FlowTrak II can be operated either as a sprayer monitor or
as a batch counter for filling tanks. (See Special Calibration
Section.)
Make sure your system is properly calibrated before beginning
to monitor your application.
The FlowTrak II system features an easy to use rotary dial.
Simply turn the knob to the desired function. The console
gives a continuous display of the function until another one
is chosen.
CONSOLE POWER/SYSTEM ON/OFF:
The system can be
turned ON and OFF by the ignition switch. When the console
is turned on, it will display the number of hours of operation
for 2 seconds, then it will display the software version along
with the “v” icon for 2 seconds before it begins normal
operation.
DISPLAY:
During normal operation, the console will display
information selected by the rotary switch position. Typically
the rotary switch will be set on RATE, and the console will
display the Application Rate in units of gallons per acre
(liters per hectare). See DATA DESCRIPTION for additional
information about data displayed.
RUN/HOLD BUTTON:
The RUN/HOLD is the master button
for turning all monitoring on and off. This function can
be done either manually with the RUN/HOLD button, or
automatically, using the optional RUN/HOLD sensor kit.
“+” AND “-” BUTTONS:
During normal operation, when
the rotary dial is set to Volume 1, 2, or 3 or Area 1, 2, or 3, the
“+” button will select the counter pair to be cleared, and the
“-” button will clear the selected counter pair. See page 28.
WARNING DEVICE:
The console is equipped with a RED
warning light. The light will automatically turn on and flash
when the actual application is plus or minus 10 percent of
the calibrated target rate, or if the TANK alarm feature is
activated and the tank is below the set point (display will
also flash “FILL” message). If the light stays on, refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual. The RED warning
light will also be illuminated when calibration mode is active
on the console.
ROTARY SWITCH:
During normal operation, you can
view any one of eight monitored functions by turning the
rotary switch to the appropriate position. The functions that
are active during normal operation are the WHITE boxes.
Calibration positions are identified by the WHITE labeling on
each side of the rotary selector (Please refer to Calibration
section for details).
Turn rotary dial to display desired readout.

DATA DESCRIPTION
VOLUME (1) (2) (3):
Displays the total gallons (liters)
applied since the active counter was last reset to zero. When
the FlowTrak II is used in conjunction with NH3, the console
display will read total pounds (kg) of NH3 applied since the
counter was last reset. To select a pair of AREA and VOLUME
counters, use the “+” button to select set 1, 2 or 3, indicated
by the small numbers in the lower right on the display.
DO NOT use the “-” button to select counters because the
button will clear them.
(See Resetting System Counters on
page 28.) This active pair of counters may be reset to zero
independent of other system counters.
VOLUME/MINUTE:
Displays the actual gallons (liters) per
minute being applied. When the FlowTrak II is used in
conjunction with NH3, the console display will read total
pounds (kg) of NH3 per minute being applied.
TANK:
Displays amount remaining in the tank. When the
tank is refilled, and the tank volume has been entered in
Special Cal, the TANK amount can be reset to a full tank by
simply pressing the “+” button for 1 second while the rotary
switch is in the TANK position. The amount in the tank can
be decreased by using the “-” button.
RATE:
Displays the actual number of gallons per acre (liters
per hectare) being applied. When the FlowTrak II is used in
conjunction with NH3, and NH3 has been selected in “Special
Calibration”, the console display will read pounds (kg) of
actual “N” per acre (hectare) being applied.
AREA (1) (2) (3):
Displays the acres (hectares) covered since
the counter was last reset to zero. The area counters do not
accumulate area when the console is in HOLD. To select a
pair of AREA and VOLUME counters, use the “+” button to
select set 1, 2 or 3, indicated by the small numbers in the
lower right on the display. Do NOT use the “-” button to
select counters because the button will clear them.
(See
Resetting System Counters on page 28.) The selected pair of
counters may be reset to zero independent of other system
counters.

counter was last reset to zero. This counter does not
accumulate when the console is in HOLD. This counter may
be reset to zero independent of other system counters.
AREA/HOUR:

(thousands of square feet per hour) being covered.
SPEED:
Displays the ground speed in miles (kilometers)
per hour.
