3.2. Setting up timing
These settings set the response times for the sections when switched on
or off. It is important to accurately calculate the response times to avoid
overlaps or gaps in product application.
To calculate the response times:
1. Ensure the implement is ready to begin product application and that
the flow meter calibration for the product has been performed (refer
to Flow meter calibration, page 50).
2. Use a stop watch to time the delay between switching a section on
and the application of product. This is the ONTIME.
3. When the section is switched off, time the delay between switching
it off and the product ceasing to flow. This is the OFF TIME.
To set the response times:
1.
Select Implement / Boom / Timing .
2. Select ON TIME to set how many seconds delay there is between
switching a section on and the application of product, then confirm.
3. Repeat for OFF TIME and confirm. This will set how many
seconds delay there is between switching a section off and stopping
product flow.
