Calibrating the flow meter with the nozzle method
When calibrating the flow meter using the nozzle method, you determine the average quantity of the
liquid applied through a nozzle in a specific time.
When calibrating using this method, you must apply clean water over the entire working width and
measure the applied quantity on different nozzles using a measuring cup.
The flow meter measures the impulses during this time.
When you have finished the application, you must enter how much water was applied on average by
one nozzle in one minute.
The computer calculates the number of impulses per litre.
Spray liquid or spray liquid residues
Danger of poisoning or chemical burning
◦ Clean the spray liquid tank thoroughly prior to calibration. The sprayer must be free of spray
liquids or spray liquid residues.
◦ Use only clear water during calibration.
◦ Wear required protective equipment.
Manual mode is activated (the icon appears in the “Spray data” area of the work screen).
You have prepared a measuring cup to measure the applied quantity.
You have prepared a stopwatch to be able to count one minute precisely.
All of the sections are preselected, and the sprayer can apply over the entire working width.
The tank is filled with clear water.
The set working width is correct.
The number of nozzles per section and the number of sections is entered correctly.
