Programming Guidelines Make sure that all hardware components are properly installed and tested. Before you start the programming process you should first check if the console and all sensors are working properly.
Start To begin the programming process: ☛ Read above for programming tips. ☛ Be sure the Master switch is “OFF.” ☛ Turn console “ON” by pressing the Pro key. When the Control Console is turned on, the software version will be displayed for approximately 5 seconds. The software version and serial number of the console will be needed when calling for service support. The serial number is located on a sticker on the back of the console. 814-AB US V2.
System Setup Mode The System Setup Mode contains the programming steps that customize the monitor to the sprayer or sprayer components. These include calibration steps and parameters that, once programmed, will likely never change. An overview of all programming steps is shown in “Appendix B: Overview of Programming Steps”. To enter the System Setup Mode: ☛ First be sure that the console is ON (if not turn it on by pressing the Pro key and wait until the normal display is visible).
Manual Calculation To manually calculate the proper value for Wheel Speed Sensor pulses, you need to know the circumference of the wheel to which the sensor is mounted. It can be measured by marking the tire and measuring the distance covered as that mark makes one full revolution. Then use the following formula: 3,600×# MagnetsOnWheel 3,600 × 4 = e.g . = 480 Wheel Circumference In Inches 30 Use the Up or Down keys to adjust the value.
A radar speed sensor will be indicated with an "r" on the display e.g. Drive300ft r 11 The "r" will automatically appear during the auto calibration process when the console has determined that a radar is being used. When manually entering a radar calibration number the "r" must be turned on by pushing the Clr key. With this key you can toggle between radar or wheel sensor. The calibration value itself is adjusted with the Up and Down keys. >r12.
PRESSURE SENSOR CALIBRATION If you don’t have a pressure sensor connected to your system, you may skip this step. You only have to program the maximum pressure to zero in step 2. If a pressure sensor is connected, it is calibrated with two programming steps. The first step calibrates the sensor at 0 PSI (bar), while the second step calibrates the maximum pressure of the sensor. The sensor can only be a 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA type. Step 1 Default = 4.
Normal Monitor Mode INTRODUCTION The monitor mode is the normal working mode of the Console after power up. The screen shows one or two values at the same time (one on the left and/or one on the right hand side). The displayed value can be recognized by the units displayed after the value [e.g. the speed value is shown in MPH (km/h) units].
Only right hand side is active: 5.0 ft O-> Press the Up or Down key to select another display. Changing the Working Width The working width (distance between the trees) can quickly be changed by pressing the Pro key when the width is displayed. The following screen will be shown: > 10.0 ft <---> The width number will be flashing and can now be changed with the Up and Down keys.
SPRAYED AREA AND SPRAYED VOLUME In this display the area and volume counters are shown. The area is measured in Ac (Ha) and the volume is measured in Gal (L). The counters can be reset to zero by pressing and holding the Clr key until the values are reset to zero. This can only be done when there is no spraying activity and the Master switch is OFF. 0.000 Ac 0 Gal Press the Up or Down key to select another display.
Operating Instructions SPRAYER CHECKOUT Before spraying check all connections related to the Sprayer Control assembly. Particular attention should be given to the speed sensor to be sure the sensor and bolts or magnets are in-line, and properly secured. Very important: Whenever you are working around a sprayer or farm chemicals, be sure to wear protective clothing and eyewear.
☛ While spraying with the Master switch “ON”, you can scroll through the different displays until the information you want is on the display : ♦ actual working width in FT(m) ♦ actual application rate in GPA (l/ha) ♦ vehicle speed in MPH (km/h) ♦ pressure in PSI (bar) ♦ application area covered in Acres (hectares) ♦ total volume applied in Gallons (liters) ☛ Adjust the pressure and target application rate with the +/- switch.
