higher.
Note: Serial cable part number 2000952 (labeled Rawson Serial
Cable) is available from Ag Leader to connect the TeeJet844 to
port3 of the PF. The PC cable that comes standard with a PF will
also work.
Settings for TeeJet 844 controller
1. Press SETUP key. Press APP RATE CONFIG key. Press CREATE
NEW key. Set the following:
Controller Make: Set to SPRAY SYS.
Controller Model: Set to TEEJET 844.
Product: Press EDIT key. You can select an existing product and press
ACCEPT key or create a new product by pressing CREATE NEW key.

Full Swath: Ignore setting. Swath comes from serial port of controller.
Tgt Units:Contrler Units: Normally set to 1:1.0000. This ratio is used to
convert the units in a target file (.tgt) to the units of application.
Example: Tgt file in pints/ac of Treflan, controller applies gallons/ac. If
tank mix is 1 pint of Treflan / 10 gallon water, then set to 1:10.0000.
Target Rate Increment: Determines increment value by which you can
change the manual target rate with each press of Up or Down arrow keys.
Actual Rate Scale Factor: Use chart below for setting.

item is selected for changing. Press the key to the right of the line
displaying target rate if you do not see these arrows. Press it again to
