2.2.2. CHANGING UNITS (LIQUID APPLICATOR ONLY)
To change units, set the Mode switch to “OPERATE” and the Display Selector to “SPEED”. The current speed units will be
displayed. Holding the INC/DEC switch up or down (see chart) until the display changes (approximately 5 sec.) will set the units
accordingly.
UNITS INC./DEC. Switch
English to Metric DOWN
Metric to English DOWN
English to Metrish UP
Metrish to English DOWN
NOTE: Metric to Metrish is not allowed. Convert to English first and then to Metrish.
2.3. SETTING APPLICATION RATE
The ARC system is designed to maintain a constant, pre-selected application rate. In order for the control console to do this, the
operator must enter the desired application rate.
A. Set the console switches to the following positions:
Power ON
Mode Selector OPERATE (Application rate is set in the Operate Mode!!!)
Display Selector APPLICATION RATE
Ground Speed ZERO
All Booms OFF
The display will show the current application rate.
B. Use the INC/DEC switch to set the value displayed to the desired rate.
C. Setting the APPLICATION RATE to 0.0 will shut off the flow control function.
2.4. SETTING THE % RATE CHANGE
This feature allows the operator to change the application rate “On The Go”. Application rate is changed with a simple
actuation of the INC/DEC switch. The amount of change each switch actuation makes is proportional to the value pro-
grammed into this position, (e.g. 20 =20% change in the target rate). For example, if the liquid application rate is set at 10.0
gallons per acre, a single actuation of the INC switch will cause the valve to control flow at the rate of 12.0 gallons per acre
(10.0 + 20% = 12.0).
A. Set the console switches to the following positions:
Power ON
Mode Selector SETUP
Display Selector % RATE
The display will show the current % change value.
B. Use the INC/DEC switch to set this number to the desired % change value.
2.5. SETTING BOOM WIDTHS
The MIDWEST TECHNOLOGIES control console is designed to automatically compensate for changes in the swath width,
caused by turning on or off boom sections. For the console to automatically respond to changes in swath width, it needs to
know the size of each boom section. Use the following procedure to set boom section widths.
