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 BLUE boxes. Calibration positions
are identified by the WHITE labelling on each side of the rotary
selector (please refer to Calibration section for details).
APP. RATE
Displays the actual number of gallons per acre (liters per
hectare) being applied. When the MT-2400 is used in
conjunction with a Micro-Trak NH3 control kit, the console
display will read pounds (kg) of actual “N” per acre (hectare)
being applied.
AREA/HOUR
Displays the acres (hectares) per hour that are being covered
for the current application.
SPEED
Displays the ground speed in miles (kilometers) per hour.
TOTAL AREA
Displays the acres (hectares) covered since the counter was
last reset to zero. This counter does not accumulate area
when the console is in HOLD or if all booms are turned OFF.
This counter may be reset to zero independent of other
system counters.
SUB AREA
Displays the acres (hectares) covered since the counter was
last reset to zero. This counter does not accumulate area
when the console is in HOLD or if all booms are turned OFF.
This counter may be reset to zero independent of other
system counters.
DISTANCE
Displays the feet (meters) driven since the 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.
FLOW RATE
Displays the actual gallons (liters) per minute being applied.
When the MT-2400 is used in conjunction with a Micro-Trak
NH3 control kit, the console display will read total pounds
(kg) of actual “N” per minute being applied.

TOTAL FLOW
Displays the total gallons (liters) applied since the counter was
last reset to zero. When the MT-2400 is used in conjunction
with a Micro-Trak NH3 control kit, the console display will
read total pounds (kg) of actual “N” applied since the counter
was last reset. This counter may be reset to zero independent
of other system counters.
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. If this light stays on while in AUTO, refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual. The RED warning
light will also be illuminated when calibration mode is active
on the console.
ON-THE-GO “DELTA” RATE ADJUSTMENTS
(ADJUST RATE)
The calibrated target rate in gallons (liters) per acre represents
the amount of solution that you typically want to apply.
However, under certain conditions, you may want to increase
or decrease this rate. This “DELTA” feature allows you to easily
make on-the-go rate adjustments by simply using the “+” or
“-” buttons. Each press of a button changes the calibrated
target rate by the amount of calibrated adjust rate.
To use the “DELTA” feature, the console must have automatic
“AUTO” mode active and the rotary switch must be set to the
APP. RATE position.
Example: Adjust Rate = 1.0 and Target Rate = 10.0
With AUTO selected and the rotary selector turned to APP.
RATE, pressing the “+” key once will increase the target rate
from 10.0 to 11.0. The display will momentarily show the new
target rate of 11.0 and then show the actual application rate.
Pressing the “-” key once will decrease the target from 11.0 to
10.0. The display will momentarily show the new target rate
of 10.0 and then show the actual application rate.
NOTE: When you “DELTA” the target rate, the display will
momentarily show you the new target rate (approximately
two seconds) and then resume showing the actual
application rate. The new target rate is maintained until
further adjustments are made using the “DELTA” feature
or calibration changes occur.
