Entering Calibration Values:
To enter or change any of the system’s calibration values, you
must enter calibration mode. To enter calibration mode, STOP
the vehicle, turn all booms OFF or put the console in HOLD and
press and hold the CAL button until the "CAL" icon appears
(approximately one second). (NOTE: Calibration may be entered
while moving, but it is not recommended to attempt calibration
while the vehicle is moving.) The console will remain in
calibration mode, with the RED warning light illuminated until
you exit calibration or turn power OFF.
Once in calibration mode, you may change any one, all, or none
of the values, in any order.* To select a calibration position,
simply turn the rotary selector to the desired position.
Calibration positions are identified by the WHITE labeling on
each side of the rotary selector. All values are entered and
adjusted using the “+” and “-” buttons on the front panel.
*T
est speed must be last.
ADJUST RATE: Enter the value for the desired amount of
change in gallons per acre (liters per hectare) to be used for
making on-the-go rate adjustments when operating
in AUTO. For example, if a value “1.0” is entered,
you will be able to increase or decrease your
applic
ation rate in one-gallon
(liter) or lb. (kg)

UTO. To
disable this feature, simply enter “.0” for a value.
INLINE/BYPASS: The display will show InLinE or bYPASS.
Use the "+" or "-" buttons
to toggle to desired
selection. Inline is used
when the servo is in the
line going out to the
booms; Bypass is used
when the servo is in a return
line.
NOTE: if used on an NH3 system, it must be set to
Bypass.
WIDTH: Enter the effective working width, in inches (meters) for
the boom section currently
shown on the display. It is
simplest t
o start with all
booms ON and then turn
each boom OFF, from left to right, after
calibrating the width. Note that the system
must be in RUN (not HOLD) to display boom
numbers. Repeat this procedure for each boom
section.
Enter a value of “0” (.000) for any
unused boom sections.
Your “working” width per boom section will be the number of
nozzles on the boom section times the nozzle spacing in inches
(mm).
For example,if you have 7 nozzles spaced at 20 inches, the
working width of the boom section is 140 inches. See
Illustration below.
CAUTION: If spraylines are pressurized,nozzles may
spray during this step.
TARGET RATE: Enter the value for the desired
target application rate in gallons per acre (liters
per hectare) or lbs. of N per acre (kgs of N per
hectare). This is the application rate that the
console will lock onto when operating in AUTO.
