B. Use the INC/DEC switch to set the desired rate. Example, 64.0 for 64 Fluid Oz. (2 qts.) per acre.
NOTE: The Mode Switch must be moved back to OPERATE for the new rate to be registered by the console.
C. Repeat with the Product Switch set to ALT-RATE. This will establish an alternate rate.
D. Program the remaining channels, one at a time, using the procedure outlined in steps A through C above.
NOTE: Set the rates for granular co-applicators in Lbs/acre (Kg./Ha.). Set
the rates for chemical injection pumps in oz./acre (L/Ha.). Set the rates for
liquid channels in gallons per acre (L/Ha.).
2.4.4 SETTING PRODUCT DENSITY, CHANNELS 1, 2, 3 and L
In order to control accurately, the TASC controller requires a product density value for channel L (and for channels
1, 2, and 3 when they are set to the non-peristaltic or Flow mode). It is important to ensure the density is set correctly
for the material you are applying.
A. Set the console switches to the following positions:
Power
ON
Mode Selector
SET-UP
Display Selector
L & CHEMICALS, VOL. APPLIED
Channel 1, 2, 3 or L Product SwitchON (CENTER) (one at a time)
B. Use the INC/DEC switch to set the density. Example cu25.0 for 25.0 pounds per cubic foot
(kg./0.1m
3
).
NOTE: If the channel is being used to control a liquid pump in the non-peristaltic or flow mode, set the density
to 1.0.
C. If no channel is selected or, if more than one channel is selected, the display will read Err.
2.5 SETTING THE % RATE CHANGE
This feature allows the operator to change application rates ON THE GO. Rates are changed with a simple actuation
of the INC/DEC switch. The amount of change each switch actuation makes is the value set into the % RATE/SET-
UP position, (e.g. 20 =20% change in the target rate). For example, if the application rate (on channel C) is set to 400
Lb per acre, a single actuation of the INC switch will cause the rate to go to 480 Lb per acre (400 + 20% = 480).
A. Set the Console switches to the following positions;
Power
ON
Mode Selector
SET-UP
Display Selector % RATE
The display shows the current % change value.
B. Use the INC/DEC switch to set this number to the desired % change.
2.6 SETTING THE HOLD OR CLOSE RESPONSE OF CHANNEL C, L, 1, 2, & 3 CONTROL
VALVES
(Channels 1, 2, 3 in Flow Mode Only)
The operator has the option of selecting the response of the control valve, associated with each channel, to the
"Booms OFF" condition. When the valve response CLOSE is selected, TASC closes the control valve when the
booms are shut OFF. When the HOLD response is selected, TASC holds the valve in its current position when the
