SPRAYING IN AUTO MODE

If a ‘Low Speed Shutoff’ is selected then the boom sections will be red and are not spraying. Once the sprayer takes off the ‘Speed Readout’ will display the current speed, when the speed goes above the ‘Low Speed Shutoff’ value the boom sections turn green and start spraying in manual mode. The indicator on the ‘MANUAL’ button is still red and the application rate will be displayed but showing a white background; these both indicate the sprayer is spraying in manual mode. This will happen if a ‘Low Speed Shutoff’ value has not been reached.
Once the speed increases and the speed goes above the ‘Low Speed Shutoff’ value then the ‘AUTO’ button will become highlighted and the green indicator will be shown on the ‘AUTO’ button, and the application rate will have an orange background when the rate has been achieved.
The sprayer is now spraying in AUTO mode.

Either Volume/Minute or Volume/ Nozzle will be displayed.
The Volume remaining on the ‘Tank Icon’ will start counting down. The current application rate will be displayed.
Any alarms that arise will be displayed.
Once the ‘Tank Icon’ turns to red, the ‘Low Volume’ point has been reached, alerting the operator the tank, has reached the ‘low point’ alarm.
When the ‘Master Switch’ is OFF it turns red; when the ‘Master Switch’ is ON it turns green.
