Operation
Make sure your system is properly calibrated before beginning to apply product. We also recommend completion of the Pre-
Field System Checkout described on page 21 prior to beginning any operations.
Automatic Operation
This mode sets and maintains the Target Rate (GPA) - the system compensates for speed changes or section switching.
1.
Press the AUTO/MAN button to select Automatic mode (“AUTO” icon will be displayed).
2.
Switch on the desired number of boom sections.
3.
Switch the RUN/HOLD switch to RUN.
4.
Drive vehicle. (Speed signal will activate system.)
Use the Section switches or the RUN/HOLD switch to Start or Stop application at any time.
ON-THE-GO RATE ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust the application rate, turn rotary knob to the RATE position and press the
Increase/Decrease
buttons. The increment
of this change is set in the ADJUST RATE position in Calibration. For example, if the calibrated TARGET RATE = 20.0 GPA
and ADJUST RATE = 1.0 GPA, pressing the
Increase
key once will increase the target rate from 20.0 to 21.0. The display will
momentarily show the new TARGET (21.0) for two seconds before it resumes showing the ACTUAL application rate. The
“adjusted” target rate is maintained until console power is turned off. NOTE: The target rate may also be adjusted while in
HOLD.
Manual Operation
Manual mode sets and maintains a steady flow rate (GPM) not affected by changes in vehicle speed. The overall application
rate (GPA) will vary depending on speed (slow vehicle speed = increased application rate, fast speed = lower application rate.)
Manual mode is most useful for system set up, spot applications, etc.
5. Press the AUTO/MAN button to select Manual mode (“MAN” icon will be displayed).
6. Adjust the flow rate by using the Increase/Decrease buttons to adjust the servo valve. The longer the buttons are held, the
faster the valve will move to allow both rapid movement and fine adjustments.
Note: Manual control can be disabled by changing the MANUAL ENABLE setting in Special Calibrate.
IN RUN:
Manual rate adjust can be done while the rotary knob is in either the RATE or VOLUME/MINUTE position.
IN HOLD:
If the console is in HOLD, or if all section valves are OFF, the rotary knob must be in the VOLUME/MINUTE position to adjust the
servo valve using the Increase/Decrease buttons. In that position only, the servo valve can be adjusted without any section valves
on, and the flow rate (GPM or LPM) can be monitored. This can be useful for system pressure tests, etc. The above applies only
when using a Standard (Std) control valve. A PWM (PULSE) control valve is always Off when in HOLD.
Care and Maintenance of your SprayMate™ XRS
Store the console in a cool dry location during the off-season.
