if the operator is spraying an aqueous fertilizer and
encounters a soil type change that requires a 40%
higher application in order to reach desired fertility
levels, the operator can select % Rate with the
Display Selector. The display shows the current percent
of the programmed application rate, in this case 100%,
being applied. Pushing the INC/DEC switch up twice
increases the application rate by 2 X 20% = 40%. The
display shows 140%. The flow
control valve opens until the
flow meter measures a rate
providing 14.0 gallons per acre.
None of the other control
functions of the console are
affected.
The new application rate is
maintained until a further
activation of the INC./DEC. switch requires additional
change, or a different position is selected with the
Display Selector. When the Display Selector is turned
to any other position, the TASC 6100 reverts to
controlling application rate according to the original
target rate. The % Rate value remains at the last
setting so the operator can reselect it by moving the
Display Selector switch back to % Rate. There is an
approximate two second delay in valve response after
the console has been switched to % Rate to prevent the
rates from changing by mistake if the Display Selector
is turned through the % Rate position.
Operation at a changed application rate is not a
normal condition. The console beeps and controls at
the changed rate only as long as the Display Selector
is turned to % Rate.

se the following procedure to Prime the
