FORWARD SPEED SENSOR
The TeeJet 5000 V.4 slurry spreader program gives the option of choosing
between 3 different speed sensors (Wheel tractor, Wheel spreader, Radar).
WHEEL TRACTOR
The speed signal can come from a sensor fitted in the gear box, or on a drive
shaft, or from a sensor fitted on a wheel, depending on the make and model of the
tractor used for slurry spreading.
RADAR
If the tractor is fitted with radar then select “RADAR” and forward speed will be
measured from the radar. Radar and the number of pulses per metre will be
displayed at the top of the screen.
IMPORTANT! Working in crops that are blowing in the wind or working in areas
with surface water can affect the accuracy of the radar, we
recommend using a speed sensor fitted to the tractor under these
circumstances.
WHEEL SLURRY SPREADER
If the slurry spreader is fitted with a speed sensor, then press the “WHEEL
SLURRY” key. The TeeJet 5000 will now use this sensor for forward speed
measurement.
Please refer to chapter 2 for forward speed calibration

SLURRY
SPREADER: Area measurement is started/stopped by pressing the HOLD key
(see SLURRY SPREADER OPERATION).
PTO: Area measurement is started/stopped by a sensor fitted to the
PTO shaft (area measurement is stopped when the RPM is lower
than 50).
RPM PUMP: Area measurement is started/stopped by a RPM sensor fitted to
the pump (area measurement is stopped when the RPM is lower
than 50).
