Installation of Spray ECU 30S KEE Sprayer Kits

Connecting to Flow Meter

1.The flow meter (not supplied) is installed between the regulator valve and the section valves. The flow meter will be installed so that it measures ONLY the quantity of liquid being delivered to the spray line.

Note: There must be no return line to tank or pump after the flow meter.

2.Connect the flow meter 3-pin connector to the 3-pin connector marked Flow Meter 1 on the Sprayer Harness.

Note: The flow meter may require a connector change to attach to the 3-pin connector marked Flow Meter 1 on the Sprayer Harness. Refer to the flow meter manufacturer's specifications for correct pin allocation. Care should be taken when replacing these connectors not to damage the Sprayer Harness or flow meter and connectors should be fully circuit tested prior to installation.

3.Most flow meters have a label on the meter body that shows the flow meter Calibration Factor in pulses/volume. For example: '645 ppl' (pulses per litre) or 2441 ppg (pulses per gallon). This value is the Calibration Factor and will be required to be entered into the sprayer software setup. This means the flow meter sends 645 pulses to the Spray ECU for every litre (or 2441 pulses for every gallon) of liquid that passes through the flow meter.

4.For connection to a Raven flow meter: The value marked on the label represents pulses/10 units of liquid. Divide this number by 10 for the correct value to enter as the Calibration Factor into the Sprayer Software Setup.

Connecting to the Regulator Valve

1.The regulator valve (not supplied) is a motorized flow control valve used to maintain the product flow to the section valves. It will be situated between the pump and the flow meter.

2.All bypass or agitation return lines that return to tank must be taken before the regulating valve, so there is no return path after the regulating valve and the flow sensor.

3.Using the Regulator Valve Adaptor Harness (A802) connect the regulator valve's 2-pin connector to the 2-pin connector marked REG Valve 1 on the Sprayer Harness.

Note: The regulator valve may require a connector change to attach to the 2-pin connector marked REG Valve 1 on the Sprayer Harness. Refer to the regulator valve manufacturer's specifications for correct pin allocation. Care should be taken when replacing these connectors not to damage the Sprayer Harness or regulator valve and connectors should be fully circuit tested prior to installation.

4.When you test the sprayer with water you may find that the regulator valve works in the opposite direction than is required. For example the pressure increases when it should decrease. You can set the "Reverse Valve Direction" in the Sprayer Setup software to remedy this.
