5.15 Flowmeter
The flowmeter (1) measures the quantity of
spray liquid flowing to the nozzles. In the
operating terminal, e.g., the sprayed litres
per minute (l/min) are displayed.
5.16 Pressure measuring device
The pressure measuring device is provided
for monitoring the spray pressure (Automa-
tic mode) and for the indirect indication of
filter contamination.
The pressure measuring device (1) mea-
sures the spray pressure and displays this
on the control terminal.
5.17 Feeding
On the basis of the speed pulses which are detected by the wheel, the control
terminal calculates a programmed target value (l/ha) for the total output (l/min).
This is measured by the flow meter. In Automatic mode, the electric control valve
is actuated while driving until the calculated target value corresponds to the actual
value in l/min which is measured by the flow meter.
An alarm signal is triggered if the control terminal cannot achieve correspondence.
The switch-off of segments is also detected by the control terminal and the quanti-
ty is re-adjusted according to the programmed target value (l/ha).
