Before you begin your installation, take a few minutes
and confirm that you have the correct system for your
application. Use the following equation to calculate your
flow rate in GPM (lpm).
FLOW RATE = Spray Rate X Speed X Width feet (meters)/Constant
FLOW RATE - Flow rate in Gallons (liters) per minute.
SPRAY RATE - Application Rate in Gallons (liters) per Acre (hectare).
SPEED - Ground Speed in Miles (kilometers)) per Hour.
WIDTH - Total Boom width in feet of meters.
CONSTANT - 495 for English or 600 for Metric.
Go through the equation twice, first using your maximum
spray rate and maximum speed, and the using your minimum
spray rate and minimum speed. The FM 500 should not be
used for flow rates above 5 GPM (19 lpm) or below 0.5 GPM
(1.9 lpm). The FM 750 GFN should not be used for rates
above 40 GPM (150 lpm) or below 2 GPM (7 lpm). The FM
2000 should not be used for flow rates above 198 GPM (750
lpm) or below 19 GPM (72 lpm). NOTE: Accuracy may be
unpredictable outside the indicated range of each meter).
Operation with 2 booms shut off could results in lower
flowmeter limit being exceeded.
