APPLICATION SETUP MODE
1. The Application Setup Mode contains the programming steps that are most frequently changed (target
application rate, and nozzles used). Spraying Systems Co. has added this separate setup mode to speed
the programming process when minor changes are made in the spraying operation (i.e. changing fields,
switching nozzles, changing crops, etc.). The operator can now avoid toggling through all of the program-
ming steps unnecessarily.
2. To enter the Application Setup Mode, depress the key twice. Depressing the key once inadvertently
will cause the display to flash "PrO" in the upper left and "USER" at the lower right of the display for three
seconds before the 844 will return to normal operating mode. The "PrO/USER" indicates that the console
is about to enter the Application Setup Mode. Depressing the key a second time puts the Control
Console into the Application Setup Mode.
TARGET APPLICATION RATE
U.S. Default = 20.0 GPA
Turf Default = 2.00 Gal/1000 ft 2
1. While in the Target Application Rate step, the application rate, pressure, speed, and flow rate in Gallons
Per Minute, will be displayed. The application rate units (GPA or G/1000 ft 2 ) will be flashing indicating that
the corresponding value can be adjusted or programmed.
2. Your target application rate should be entered in this step. Application rates will be expressed in Gallons
Per Acre for U.S. units and in Gallons Per 1000 ft 2 for Turf Units.
3. Individual application rates will likely vary from the default value. Depress the or keys to adjust
the value. Depressing the and keys simultaneously will clear the value to zero. When the
desired application rate has been entered, depress the key to accept the value and advance to the
next step.
