During normal operation, when manual “MAN” control mode
is active and the Run/Hold switch is in the RUN position,
pressing the “+” and/or “-” buttons will increase or decrease
the application rate by opening and closing the servo valve
(control valve).
During normal operation, when either automatic or manual
mode is active, the Run/Hold switch is in the HOLD position
and the rotary switch is turned to FLOW RATE, pressing the
“+” and/or “-” buttons will increase or decrease the flow rate
for setting the proper agitation flow rate, without having the
boom valves turned on, by opening and closing the servo
valve (control valve).
During normal operation, when either automatic or manual
mode is active, pressing and holding the RESET (“-”) button
will reset the TOTAL AREA, SUB AREA, DISTANCE or TOTAL
FLOW counter (the rotary switch must be turned to one of
those counters for the reset function to be active). Please
refer to Resetting System Counters for more details. The reset
function is not active when the Run/Hold switch is in the RUN
position or the console is in calibration mode.
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. When you are in
calibration mode, the functions that are active are in WHITE
LETTERING outside of the blue boxes (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-3405 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 boom switches 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 boom switches are
turned OFF. This counter may be reset to zero independent
of other system counters.

Data Descriptions
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-3405 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-3405 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 from 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 “+” and “-” 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,
the console is turned off, or calibration changes occur.
