BOOM SWITCHES: The system monitors the status of the
boom switches to determine whether they are ON or OFF. The
console accumulates area based on the calibrated boom
widths. When an individual boom is turned OFF, the respective
width is subtracted from the total width to accumulate area
based on the new active application width. If the rotary switch
is in the RATE or AREA/HOUR position, the numbers 1, 2, and 3
on the display will light when their respective boom is ON.
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 of the
calibrated target rate, or if the TANK alarm feature is activated
and the tank is below the set point (display will also flash "FILL"
message).
If the 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.
ROTARY SWITCH: During normal operation, you can view
any one of eight monitored functions by turning the rotary
switch to the appropriate position.The functions that are active
during normal operation are the TAN boxes. Calibration
positions are identified by the WHITE labeling on each side of
the rotary selector (please refer to Calibration section for
details).
DATA DESCRIPTION:
RATE: Displays the actual number of gallons per acre (liters
per hectare) being applied. When the SprayMate II is used in
conjunction with a Micro-Trak NH3 control kit, and NH3 has
been selected in "Special Calibration", the console display will
read pounds (kg) of actual “N” per acre (hectare) being applied.
TANK: Displays amount remaining in the tank. When the
tank is refilled, and the tank volume has been entered in Special
Cal, the TANK amount can be reset to a full tank by simply
pressing the "+" button for 1 second while the rotary switch is
in the TANK position. The amount in the tank can be decreased
by using the "-" button.

use the "-" button to select counters because the button will
clear them. (See Resetting System Counters on page 31.) This
active pair of counters may be reset to zero independent of
other system counters.
AREA: Displays the acres (hectares) covered since the
counter was last reset to zero. The area counters do not
accumulate area when the console is in HOLD or if all booms
are turned OFF. To select a pair of AREA and VOLUME counters,
use the "+" button to select set 1, 2 or 3, indicated by the small
numbers in the lower right on the display. Do NOT use the "-"

(See Resetting System Counters on page 31.) The selected pair
of counters may be reset to zero independent of other system
counters.
DISTANCE: Displays the feet (meters) 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.
AREA/HOUR: Displays acres per hour (hectare per hour)
(thousands of square feet per hour) being covered.
SPEED: Displa
ys the ground speed in miles (kilometers) per
hour.
IMPORTANT: All booms automatically shut off if system
is in "hold" or if in AUTO with NO SPEED.
