396-4412Y1 QuickDraw 3000 Operator’s Manual 6 Revised 02/20/2020
The QuickDraw spray tender system makes the process of tendering your sprayer more efficient
and more accurate, with greater safety. The system provides a historical record of each batch. The
system allows the batching of either 4 or 6 bulk products, depending on which model was
purchased, plus 5 manual products. The QuickDraw controller works together with the iPad app to
simplify the management of your sprayer batches. Configuration of recipes can be handled in
either the QuickDraw controller or on the iPad QuickDraw app. The iPad QuickDraw app is the
preferred method for recipe configuration due to its portable nature and ease of use. The
QuickDraw app communicates with the QuickDraw controller via WIFI. The QuickDraw controller
takes these recipes and automatically handles the calculations and measurements necessary to
complete a batch that ends up in the sprayer. The iPad can be used to start a batch and to
monitor/control the mixing operation. Once a batch is completed, the information for that batch is
logged in the controller. The QuickDraw app can then be used to send the historical information
out of the controller to the iPad.
The QuickDraw manages bulk liquid products automatically. These are products stored in bulk
containers or shuttles. The QuickDraw also calculates the correct amount of manual measured
products in a batch. Manual measured products include small-package liquids, dry flowables, and
powders. Each recipe can include up to 5 manual products.
Mass Meter Description
The QuickDraw takes advantage of mass meter technology to provide accuracy to the spray
tendering system. The mass meter in the QuickDraw uses the Coriolis Effect to determine the
mass and density of the product running through it. This can then be converted to volume and
used for batching a specific volume amount. Other flowmeter technologies have the disadvantage
of being affected by density and/or temperature changes whereas the mass meter accuracy and
repeatability is not affected by changes in viscosity due to temperature and changes in density due
to product differences. In a batching system like the QuickDraw where product is diluted
immediately by loading directly into a carrier stream, calibration is not feasible. The mass meter
allows the QuickDraw to be accurate from product to product and from run to run and from
morning to afternoon without recalibration.
QuickDraw and iPad
The QuickDraw is designed to be used with an iPad. Creating and editing recipes, managing
farms, fields, and products, configuring totes, and setting up batches can all be done on the
QuickDraw controller or the QuickDraw iPad App. The iPad App can be used to start a batch and
to monitor the batch while it is running. Batch history is downloaded to the iPad to be accessible
outside the controller. If an iPad is temporarily unavailable, the QuickDraw controller is fully
functional without the iPad.
Venturi and Pump Suction Configuration
The QuickDraw is available in two configurations, Venturi Suction and Pump Suction. Venturi
Suction is the most common. In Venturi Suction the transfer pump is located on the QuickDraw
inlet. It pushes water across a venturi to create suction which draws chemical products through the
mass meter and into the batch. In a Pump Suction setup, the transfer pump is located on the
Quick Draw outlet. Suction from the pump is utilized to draw chemical products through the mass
meter and into the batch. The Pump Suction setup allows the unit to make smaller batches or
batches with a higher concentration of chemical.
