Leak Detection is a factory-installed option that enables the unit to 
detect a leak in the nozzle circuit.

• Determine whether leak detection is installed on the unit by 

navigating to the DATA Menu and cycling  through the variables 
by pressing the green 

button .  If you see values labeled FL, 

TL, AFR and TOL, then the option is installed.

• Adjust the tolerance for leak detection to be either more or less 

forgiving in recognizing a problem.

• The default tolerance is 75%  That is, Gen 1.3 will not detect 

and annunciate a leak until the Actual Volume is more than 
175% of the Calculated Volume. 

• Setting the TOL value in the DATA Menu to a higher number 

makes the unit more tolerant of a leak.  Setting the TOL value 
lower makes the unit more sensitive.  100% is the allowed 
maximum.

• To change the value, go to the DATA Menu, TOL. Press 

Green 

button for 5 seconds, then use the arrow keys to 

adjust the value.

• Disable leak detection by 1) unplugging the unit from the 

electrical socket, 2) unplugging the 6 pin connector on the back of 
the controller, and 3) plugging the unit back into the electrical 
socket.

• NOTE: Leak Detection may not function properly on systems with 

less than 20 nozzles and/or mist durations less than 30 seconds.

Optional Leak Detection

Setting Up the Unit

• Clear area
• Pres MIST button on transmitter
• Unit will MIST.

If Remote Agitation (RAG) is set to a 
value greater than 0, system with 
Agitate (AGT) prior to MIST.

12. Test by Activating 

Remote Mist

• Close lid
• Fit elastic at waterproof cover 

bottom under lip along edge of drum.

Section 3

Setting Up the Unit

• Add insecticide through large bung 

with a funnel.

• Top off drum with water.  Maintain 

air gap of 6” between hose and fluid 
level.

• Do not overfill.  Stop filling when 

level is 4” from the top.

• MAINTENANCE Menu, LEVEL
• Press green 

button and use 

arrows to set level to full (8 bars)

10. Add insecticide, top 

off drum, Reset

• MAINTENANCE Menu, scroll to INS
• Depress Green 

button 5 seconds

• Unit will mist for 5 minutes or until 

stopped.

• Confirm no leaks in nozzle circuit.
• Confirm pump pressure is 240 psi.  

If not, insert flat head screwdriver 
into port on back left and adjust 
pump bypass until pressure is 240 
psi.  Reinsert plastic plug into port.

• If zone valve installed, repeat using 

INS2. (Set pressure so that it does 
not exceed 240 psi in either zone.)

Run Inspection Cycle

• With the display showing day, time 

and level, press Green 

button to 

position the

pointing to the active System Mode:

• OFF - daily agitation cycle only
• REM or ON – remote and manual, 

but no programmed mist

• AUTO Everyday – program runs
