TOTAL AREA
Displays the acres covered since the counter was last reset
to zero. This counter does not accumulate area when the
console is in HOLD or if all boom switches are turned OFF.
This counter may be reset to zero independent of other
system counters.
SPEED
Displays the ground speed in miles per hour.
APP. RATE
Displays the actual number of gallons per acre being applied.
When the MT-3405M is used in conjunction with a Micro-
Trak NH3 control kit, the console display will read pounds of
actual “N” per acre being applied.
PRESSURE
Displays the liquid pressure for the current application.
SUB AREA
Displays the acres covered since the counter was last reset
to zero. This counter does not accumulate area when the
console is in HOLD or if all boom switches are turned OFF.
This counter may be reset to zero independent of other
system counters.
DISTANCE
Displays the feet driven since the counter was last reset to
zero. This counter does not accumulate when the console is
in HOLD. This counter may be reset to zero independent of
other system counters.
TOTAL FLOW
Displays the total gallons applied since the counter was last
reset to zero. When the MT-3405M is used in conjunction
with a Micro-Trak NH3 control kit, the console display will
read total pounds of actual “N” applied since the counter was
last reset. This counter may be reset to zero independent of
other system counters.
FLOW RATE
Displays the actual gallons per minute being applied. When
the MT-3405M is used in conjunction with a Micro-Trak NH3
control kit, the console display will read total pounds of
actual “N” per minute being applied.
WARNING DEVICE
The console is equipped with a RED warning light. The
light will automatically turn on and flash when the actual
application is plus or minus 10 percent from the calibrated
target rate. If this light stays on while in AUTO, refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual. The RED warning
light will also be illuminated when calibration mode is active
on the console.
ONTHEGO “DELTA” RATE ADJUSTMENTS ADJUST RATE
The calibrated target rate in gallons per acre
represents the amount of solution that you typically
want to apply. However, under certain conditions, you
may want to increase or decrease this rate. This “DELTA”
feature allows you to easily make on-the-go rate adjustments
by simply using the “+” and “-” buttons. Each press of a
button changes the calibrated target rate by the amount of
calibrated adjust rate.
To use the “DELTA” feature, the console must have automatic
“AUTO” mode active and the rotary dial must be set to the
APP. RATE position.
EXAMPLE
Adjust Rate = 1.0 and Target Rate = 10.0
With AUTO selected and the rotary selector turned to APP.
RATE, pressing the “+” key once will increase the target rate
from 10.0 to 11.0. The display will momentarily show the new
target rate of 11.0 and then show the actual application rate.
Pressing the “-” key once will decrease the target from 11.0 to
10.0. The display will momentarily show the new target rate
of 10.0 and then show the actual application rate.
NOTE: When you “DELTA” the target rate, the
display will momentarily show you the new target
rate (approximately two seconds) and then resume
showing the actual application rate. The new
target rate is maintained until further adjustments
are made using the “DELTA” feature, the console
is turned off, or calibration changes occur.
