Figure 60: Tank Setup window

Selecting the ‘Tank Icon’ (1,2 or 3) displays the ‘Tank Setup’ window on the right hand side. If more than one tank is selected then each tank has to be setup independently. To setup ‘Tank 1’ then select the ‘Tank 1 Icon’ from the ‘Working Screen’, the operator will know which Tank is being changed because the ‘FILL’ and ‘Cal.’ buttons will reflect which Tank (1,2 or 3) was selected. Then to setup ‘Tank 2’ select the ‘Tank 2 Icon’ to display ‘Tank Setup 2’ window.

Next to each option the current value is displayed. To change the value, select the ‘Calculator Icon’ next to the value to be changed and enter in the new value using the screen keyboard window; then select the ‘ENTER’ button to save the new value and close the window.

The ‘Tank Setup’ window allows the operator to display or setup each ‘Tank’:

1)Tank Capacity, allows the operator to set the ‘Tank Capacity’, so when the ‘FILL’ button is selected the ‘Tank’ is filled to that capacity; the units being used are displayed on the ‘Tank Icon’.

2)Preset Rate 1 & 2, the ‘Preset Rate 1’ is the main application rate that is going to be used when spraying, the ‘Preset Rate 2’ is the second application rate, these rates are shown on the ‘Working Screen’ in between the Increase and Decrease buttons when in ‘AUTO’ mode, the buttons are aligned with the ‘Tank Icon’ being changed. The units being used are displayed on the ‘Tank Icon’, above the ‘Tank’ number.

3)Rate Increment allows the Increase or Decrease of the application rate (set by the Rate Increment) while spraying, using the Increase or Decrease buttons for the selected ‘Tank’, from the ‘Working Screen’.

4)Preset Name allows the selection of different products, if the products have different Flow Calibration Factors. A drop down list is displayed, when the ‘Product’ is selected a Cal. Factor is displayed next to the selected product. Select ‘ENTER’ to use the selected product. The current Cal.Factor for the selected ‘Product’ is displayed under the product name.

New Products cannot be entered here; see Section 8.0 to enter new products to the list.

5)Total Capacity displays the cumulative total of product applied since the last reset.

6)‘Tank X’ ON or OFF button allows individual tanks to be switched ON or OFF when more than one tank is selected. If only one tank is selected then the button is not displayed.

The button displays whether the tank is ON or OFF, select the button to change. The ‘Tank Icons’ on the ‘Working Screen’ are greyed out when the ‘Tank X’ is switched OFF and when the ‘Tank X’ is switched ON the tank icon is ‘orange’.
