APPENDIX ACALIBRATION VALUES

SECTION WIDTHS

Use the following formulas to help calculate the section widths.

Calculate the section width with the formula:

Where T = the number of Tips in each section, S = the Spacing between tips, and SW = the Section Width.

FOR EXAMPLE:

20 tips in a section with spacing of 40 inches [50.8 cm] would yield:

or a Section Width of 800 inches [2032 cm] (approximately 67 feet [20 m]). Enter 800 [2032] as the width for this section.

TARGET RATE CALIBRATION

The following information must be known in order to determine which spray nozzles to use with the sprayer:

• Nominal Application Pressure_________ PSI [kpa]• Target Application Rate_________ GPA [lit/ha]• Target Speed_________ MPH [km/h]• Nozzle Spacing_________ inches [cm]

From this information, calculate the volume per minute per nozzle as follows:

NVPM = Nozzle Volume per Minute (gallons/acre [lit/ha]), Rate = target application Rate, Speed = target Speed of application, and NS = Nozzle Spacing

T S× SW=

APPENDIX A


FOR EXAMPLE:

Application Pressure = 30 PSI, Target Application Rate = 20 GPA, Target Speed = 5.2 MPH, and Nozzle Spacing = 20 inches

Using the calculated nozzle volume per minute of 0.35 at an application pressure of 30, select a boom nozzle which comes closest to providing the desired output.

APPENDIX BSETTINGS AND HELP SCREEN TERMINOLOGY

TABLE 1. Setting and Help Screen Terminology

Setting Help Screen Terminology

Control DeadbandAllowable difference between the target and actual application rate. Rate correction is not performed as long as the application rate is within the allowable range.

Control Valve Type Select the type of control valve used to control the product application. Valve types include: Standard, Fast, Fast Close, PWM, and PWM Close.

Display SmoothingEnable the Display Smoothing feature to display target rate as actual rate when rate is within 10% of the target rate. Actual rate will be displayed if rate controller does not reach control deadband within 10 seconds.

Enable Fence Rows Enable Fence Rows if sprayer is equipped. On-screen soft switches or physical switches can be assigned to control fence row valves. Restart the setup wizard to modify this setting.

Fill Flowmeter CalThe fill flowmeter calibration value and units may be found on the tag attached to the flowmeter installed in the tank fill system. Select the appropriate units for the flowmeter calibration to ensure proper calibration of the tank fill system.

Flowmeter CalThe flowmeter calibration value and units may be found on the tag attached to the flowmeter installed in the application system. Select the appropriate units for the flowmeter calibration to ensure proper calibration of the application system.

Implement Switch The implement switch senses the position of the toolbar and turns off application when raised and enables application when lowered.

Low Tank LimitEnable the Low Tank feature and enter desired volume threshold at which an alert will be displayed for low tank condition. Tank volume must be either manually set upon refilling or tank fill flowmeter utilized to automatically monitor tank level.

Max Pump PWMEnter a maximum PWM duty cycle percent to set the maximum desired output for a pulse width modulated (PWM) hydraulic control valve. This setting limits how far the PWM valve will open.

Maximum PressureEnter the maximum desired pressure for the system. Upon exceeding maximum pressure, an alert will be displayed, flow control will be overridden and the rate controller will maintain maximum pressure.

Min Pump PWMEnter a minimum PWM duty cycle percent to set the minimum desired output (zero point or shutoff point) for a pulse width modulated (PWM) hydraulic control valve.

Minimum Pressure

The minimum pressure feature will allow the operator to set the lowest tolerable pressure during field operations. If the application system reaches the minimum pressure, the UT will display an alert and application system will maintain the flow rate to keep the monitored pressure consistent and to maintain the spray pattern.

Number of Sections The number of sections is the number of section valves installed on the machine.

APPENDIX B


Pressure Transducer Type

Select the pressure sensor range from the drop down Menu. Refer to OEM for transducer installed, or Raven part numbers.

Pressure Sensor Type Select the pressure sensor drop down field and select the transducer to be calibrated for operation.

PWM StandbyEnter desired control valve PWM duty cycle percent when all sections are off. This is utilized when standby pressure control is not available (pressure sensor not available or direct injection is installed).

Rate Presets Enter desired rate presets to allow the operator to quickly switch between target rates during field operation in the automatic rate control mode.

Response Rate

The response rate has a range of 1 to 100 and the setting determines how aggressively the target is controlled to. Increasing this value will cause the system to respond more quickly. Decreasing it will cause a slower response. If the system is slow to reach the target value consider increasing it.

Speed CalEnter the Speed Cal value of radar speed sensor (if equipped). Reference radar manufacturer's specification for recommended value and perform distance calibration to ensure accuracy.

Tank Capacity Enter maximum capacity of the tank.Tank Volume Enter the current tank level.
