6.1Regulator Valve Settings

Figure 32: Regulator Valve Settings page

The Regulating Valves and their settings are critical for the correct operation of the sprayer, particularly if ‘Auto Section Control’ (ASC) is to be used. To have good control when using Automatic Section Control (ASC), a faster regulator valve may need to be installed. A 20 second KZCO valve will be sluggish and give poor control when using ASC and should be updated to the 6 second ARAG Valve (grey band), or faster regulator valve.

When a ‘Controller Mode’ is selected then the ‘Max On Time’, ‘PWM Setting’, ‘Min On Time’ and ‘Gain Setting’ settings are automatically set. These settings can then be fine tuned manually.

Controller Mode

Select one of the following Controller modes:

1-‘Standard’- the Standard will account for most regulating valve types available in the market. The Standard mode takes into account regulating valves that take between 4 and 20 seconds, to go from fully closed to fully open, check the specifications of the regulator valve fitted to the sprayer. Examples include the KEE KZCO, Arag Yellow band, Hardi, Raven Standard and Arag Grey band regulator valves.

a)Select ‘Standard’

b)From the Figure 33 table select the regulator valve that best suits your regulator valve. Determine the time (seconds) the regulator valve goes from fully closed to

fully open.Then enter the settings (Max On Time, Min On Time, PWM Setting and Gain Setting) from the table, for the regulator valve selected.

2- ‘Micro-Trak’, if a Micro-Track regulator valve is used for regulation. When ‘Micro-Trak’ is selected the settings are entered automatically, and are optimised for the Micro-Trak regulator valve.

3- ‘DICKEY-john’, if a DICKEY-john regulator valve is used for regulation. When ‘DICKEY-john’ is selected the default settings are entered automatically, and are optimised for the DICKEY- john regulator valve.
