    Why is the total liquid used inaccurate on my micro-trak Controller?
    • E
      Edgar CohenAug 17, 2025
      Inaccurate readings of total liquid used on your micro-trak Controller can stem from several factors. First, verify that the “FLOW CAL” value entered into the console matches the number stamped on the flowmeter tag. Also, consider the flowmeter's mounting position; for lower flow rates, vertical mounting is recommended. Ensure the flow sensor is fully screwed into the flowmeter. Other potential causes include inaccurate sprayer tank markings, a flow rate too low to register, or foreign material obstructing the flowmeter.

    What to do if area count is inaccurate on micro-trak Controller?

      If the area count displayed on your micro-trak Controller is inaccurate, double-check the implement width and wheel circumference measurements. Ensure that these values are correctly programmed into the system. If any discrepancies are found, repeat the initial procedures, make the necessary corrections, and retest the acre (hectare) count.

    How to fix console is erratic in operation on micro-trak MT-3405F II Controller?
    • T
      Thomas MartinAug 26, 2025
      An erratic console operation in your micro-trak Controller can be influenced by several factors. If you have a two-way radio, ensure it is mounted far from the console and that all MT-3405F™ II cables are kept away from the radio, its antenna, and power cable. Keep MT-3405F™ II cables away from ignition wires, or install an ignition suppressor. Reroute all cables away from electric solenoids, air conditioning clutches, and similar equipment. Also, check the VALVE SPEED calibration number in Special Calibration. If the RATE tends to overshoot or oscillate, the VALVE SPEED setting may be too high for the control valve being used; reduce the VALVE SPEED setting by 1 (range is -2 to +3).

    Why no readout of gallons (liters), or gallons (liters) per minute on micro-trak MT-3405F II?
    • K
      Kim CurryAug 28, 2025
      If your micro-trak Controller isn't displaying gallon or liter readings, or gallons/liters per minute, first ensure the sprayer pump and related equipment are functioning correctly. Confirm that liquid is flowing through the line and that the flow sensor is securely screwed into the flowmeter. Check that a FLOW CAL number has been entered into the system. Inspect the cable for any breaks or incomplete connections. If the flowmeter is new or hasn't been used recently, the turbine might be sticky; flushing the system with water should help it spin freely.

    What to do if distance count is inaccurate on micro-trak Controller?
    • R
      Rebecca WilsonAug 31, 2025
      If the distance count on your micro-trak Controller is inaccurate, the wheel circumference might have been measured or entered incorrectly. Review the calibration settings, readjust as needed, and then test the system again.

    What to do if system operation (control) is sluggish in automatic mode on micro-trak Controller?
    • M
      Michael VazquezSep 3, 2025
      If the system operation is sluggish when in automatic mode on your micro-trak Controller, examine the VALVE SPEED setting in Special Calibration. For slower valves (4 seconds or more to fully open or close), try increasing the VALVE SPEED setting.

    What to do if console appears dead on micro-trak MT-3405F II?
    • M
      Mary WilsonSep 6, 2025
      If the console of your micro-trak Controller appears dead, use a test light to check for 12 volts at the power source. Also, inspect the power cable for damage and ensure the terminals are not reversed, as the console needs 12 volts to operate correctly. Check the connections of the ignition or power switch.

    What to do if displayed measurements do not make sense on micro-trak MT-3405F II?
    • N
      Nicole AllenSep 9, 2025
      The console of your micro-trak Controller may be in the incorrect measurement mode (English or metric). See page 24 for instructions.

    What to do if speed is always zero or erratic on micro-trak Controller?
    • L
      Lisa YoungSep 12, 2025
      If the speed reading on your micro-trak Controller is consistently zero or erratic, begin by checking the wheel circumference calibration. Then, carefully inspect the speed sensor installation, ensuring proper mounting, alignment, and spacing relative to the magnet assembly. Verify that the magnet polarities are alternated. Finally, examine the cable for any breaks or incomplete connections.

    What does it mean if display reads “OFL” or “99999” on micro-trak Controller?
    • S
      Susan MurphySep 12, 2025
      When the display of your micro-trak Controller shows “OFL” or “99999”, the DISTANCE, AREA, and VOLUME counters have exceeded their maximum count. Reset these counters to zero to continue counting.
