Software version 6.4 at least must be installed on the job computer for the field sprayer.

Installing the sensor

To install the sensor, you will need carry out the following steps independently of one another:
Step 1: Drill holes into the tank
Step 2: Install the tube socket
Step 3: Prepare the sensor tube
Step 4: Install the sensor tube

the flange 140 as a drilling template, mark the screw positions on the tank.
3. Drill 4 holes (8.5 mm diameter) at the positions marked; they will be used to attach the flange.
4. Pull the sensor tube out of the tank.
5. Use a plumb-line to identify a point directly below the hole on the base of the tank.
6. Mark the position for the hole.
7. Drill a hole (6.2 mm diameter) at the point you have marked so that you can install the tube
socket.
8. You can now install the tube socket.

Installing the control unit
If you use a corrugated pipe and secure it incorrectly, it may deform or kink. Vibration may then cause chafing on internal lines. When installing a corrugated pipe:
◦ Ensure that the corrugated pipe does not kink during installation.
◦ Ensure that the corrugated pipe does not deform if secured with cable ties.
◦ Do not attach the corrugated pipe to hydraulic lines.
◦ Ensure that the corrugated pipe is fixed to solid, non-vibrating parts.
When installing the control unit you must: ▪ Use the mount provided as a template for the holes. ▪ Install the control unit so that the name "TANK-Control II" is horizontal and legible. ▪ Leave enough room for the cables. ▪ Wire the control unit to the sensor, the job computer for the field sprayer and the terminal in the
tractor cab. [➙ 8]

Carrying out calibration
The calibration process measures the height of the sensor float. The float height rises as the fill level increases.
During calibration, the tank is filled with water in several steps. The exact position of the float is measured at each step. The computer then knows the position of the float at every fill level.
These values are stored in the memory.
The following types of calibration are available: ▪ Automatic calibration. ▪ Manual input.

Planning calibration

Before you start calibration, you must plan the float heights at which you want to enter the fill level.

This is how to plan the calibration:
1. Check whether your tank has any bulges as they can affect the float height.
2. Note that the tank must be completely empty at calibration point 00. You cannot select the float
height yourself.
3. Note that the fill level at which the float registers the first movement must be entered at calibration point 01. You cannot select the float height yourself.
4. Note that the tank must be filled to the maximum fill level at the last calibration point. The maximum fill level is specified by the tank manufacturer. You cannot select the float height yourself.
5. Decide how many calibration points you want to use. You can use a maximum of 30 calibration points.
6. Decide on the float heights at which you want to enter the fill level. If possible, use evenly spaced intervals, e.g. every 50mm.
⇨ You can now start calibration.

Setting the sensor sensitivity
The liquid in the tank moves during travel. This means that the float position also changes constantly. You will see that the fill level on the display increases and decreases all the time.
If the sensor is too sensitive to water movement, you can reduce its sensitivity.
If the sensitivity is high, the fill levels displayed are updated faster. If the sensitivity is low, the fill levels displayed are updated more slowly.

Simulating the fill level
TANK-Control II uses a frequency signal to transmit fill levels. You can simulate a fill level in order to test whether the frequency signal is being transmitted.
1. Open the "Sensors" menu.
2. Press:
3. Enter the password (14232314).
⇨ The following screen will appear:
4. Press:
5. Select:
6. Press this key:
⇨ The data input screen appears.
7. Enter the fill level that you want to simulate, in this case: 1000l ⇨ The frequency value changes:
⇨ You have successfully simulated a fill level.

Managing system settings

You can restore the pre-set system settings or save changes you have made in the system.
If you restore the pre-set system settings, you will lose all your own settings. If you change the pre-set system settings, you will lose the manufacturer's settings. Before restoring the system:
1. Open the "Tank Control II" menu.
