The Micro-Trak MT-3000 Automatic Sprayer Control system
has 5 major components:
1. Control Console
2. Flow Sensor
3. Speed Sensor
4. Servo Control Valve
5. Optional Electric Boom Solenoid Valve.
Capabilities
The MT-3000 is designed to operate with sprayers pumping
non-abrasive liquids. The operator may select any one of
seven (7) monitored functions. A mechanical pressure gauge
is provided for the operator to monitor system pressure.
NOTE: Do Not connect pressure gauge to liquid fertilizer.
Capacity
THE MT3000 IS AVAILABLE IN SEVERAL SIZES
1. FM 750 GFN flowmeter and 1” servo. - This system is
designed to have an excellent control range on sprayers
with high output pumps running in the 2 - 40 GPM
(7-150 lpm) range.
2. FM 750 GFN flowmeter and ¾” servo - This system is
designed to have good control range on sprayers with
marginally sized pumps running in the 2 - 40 GPM (7-150
lpm) range. Common on lawn care equipment.)
General Description
3. FM 500 flowmeter and ¾” inch servo - This system is
designed to have excellent control range on sprayers
with properly sized pumps running in the .5- GPM (2 - 38
lpm) range.
4. FM 750 SS stainless steel flowmeter and 1” high pressure
Servo - This system is designed to have excellent control
range on sprayers with high output pumps and high
pressure valve requirements up to 300 - PSI (20 bar), in
the 2 - 40 GPM (7 - 150 lpm) range.
5. FM 2000 flowmeter and 1” servo - This system is designed
to have good control range on sprayers with very high
output pumps running in the 19 - 198 GPM (72 - 750
lpm) range.
Controlling
In operation the control console computes the actual
application rate from the flow and speed sensor signals. It
then compares it to the target application rate and sends
an error signal to the servo valve. The servo then adjusts
the system’s flow to maintain a uniform application rate.
Spraying automatically starts and stops when forward ground
speed is sensed.
Installation
Proper installation and calibration is necessary in order for
the MT-3000 to work efficiently. If, after thoroughly reading
this manual, you have any questions on how to install,
calibrate or use this product, contact your local dealer or call
Micro-Trak at 800-328-9613.
Optional Equipment
THE BOOST VALVE KIT P/N 00118
Assures fast response to pressure surges caused by switching
individual boom sections on or off. When one or more booms
are off, liquid is bypassed through a valve which is adjusted
to maintain the flow that was passing out the boom.
THE CONVENIENCE KIT P/N 00119
Includes almost all of the components needed to make
installation easier plus three solenoid valves needed for
a three boom application for those sprayers not already
equipped with boom solenoids. The installation of boom
solenoids greatly simplifies operation by allowing the
console to turn the booms off when in HOLD.
THE REMOTE RUN/HOLD KIT P/N 10487
Automatically turns the solenoids of and stops acre
accumulation when equipment is raised, such as turning on
end rows. This eliminates the possibility of operator caused
errors and reduces the workload at a critical time.
THE TRAKSTAR ULTRASONIC SPEED SENSOR P/N 00125
Replaces the standard magnetic wheel sensor to give true
ground speed readings regardless of slippage. This can
greatly reduce error caused by wheel slip and changes in
soil type.
GM INTERFACE MODULE P/N 00167
Allows any Micro-Trak Systems monitor or control system
to be connected to the electronic Speed-O-Meter system
on most 1988 and newer General Motors pick-ups. The GMI
plugs into the vehicle’s Assembly Line Diagnostic Link (ALDL)
connector.
THE NH3500 KIT P/N 00140
Allows you to accurately monitor and control the application
of anhydrous ammonia. The NH3500 kit has maximum
output capacity of 6000 lbs. (2722 kg) NH3 per hour, and
minimum output capacity of 600 lbs. (272 kg) NH3 per hour.
