Chapter 2 Calibration
NOTE: PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FOLLOW-
ING SECTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU
BEGIN CALIBRATION!
T
he Control Console must be calibrated and pro-
grammed with certain information before it can be
used. First, the specific details of your applicator
(i.e. Application Rates, Boom Widths, Test Speed, etc.)
are entered. Next, the flowmeter and ground speed
sensors are both calibrated. The calibration and set up
procedures are not difficult, however, they must be
followed precisely in order to get the maximum possible
accuracy out of the system.
English, Metric, or Metrish Units
T
he Control Console is capable of displaying
three different units of measure, US, Metric
and Metrish. Metrish is the same as Metric, except
