2.0. CALIBRATION AND SET UP
NOTE: PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CALIBRATION!
The control console needs to be calibrated and programmed with certain information before it is ready to be used. First, the console
needs to be programmed with the specific details of your applicator (i.e. Application Rates, Boom Widths, Test Speed, etc.). Next,
the rate sensor (flowmeter) and ground speed sensors both need to be calibrated. The calibration and set up processes are not
difficult, however; they must be followed precisely in order to get the maximum available accuracy out of the system.
First, BE SURE THE CONSOLE IS SELECTED TO THE APPLICATION PROGRAM YOU WANT. The Choices are;
Liquid Pressure, Liquid standard, Liquid reflow, Granular standard, and Granular split drive.
2.1. CHANGING THE APPLICATION PROGRAM
To view the program currently selected, set the Mode switch to "SETUP" and the Display Selector to "PRIME".
Pump L PSi is LIQUID PRESSURE application (normal pressure based spraying)
Pump L STnrd is STANDARD LIQUID application (normal flow based spraying)
Pump L rEFLO is LIQUID REFLOW application (for use on some European sprayers)
Pump C STnrd is standard GRANULAR application (single conveyor spreaders)
Pump C SPLit is GRANULAR SPLIT DRIVE application (dual conveyor spreaders, air delivery spreaders)
To change programs, hold the INC switch up to set LIQUID and cycle between standard, reflow, and pressure. Hold the DEC
switch down to set GRANULAR and cycle between standard and split drive. The application remaining in the display when the
INC/DEC switch is released is the program selected. If you have a question about which application to use, check with your
supplier or call MID-TECH Customer Service.
2.2. ENGLISH, METRIC OR METRISH UNITS
When operating as a LIQUID applicator the control console is capable of displaying three separate units of measure, English,
Metric and Metrish. Metrish is the same as Metric, except area is measured in Acres, thus the term Metrish. Operating as a
granular applicator, the display is limited to English units of measurement.
