TEEJET 500 SLURRY COMPUTER OPERATORS MANUAL INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a TeeJet Technologies product.
Your new TeeJet 500 Slurry computer is an advanced, but easy to operate product
that has been designed to serve you faithfully for many years.
Using the computer is simple thanks to the menu based structure. Most settings
have a descriptive text shown on the screen, which makes this operator’s manual,
more or less redundant – think of this manual as a reference when encoding the
various settings.
We do however recommend using the manual when sitting in front of the TeeJet
500 Slurry computer before work commences to familiarise yourself with the
computer and the how to operate it.
All of the settings needed for accurate use are split up into “sub-sections”:
Operation settings relate to the settings that change daily.
Machine settings relate to the machine and need encoding as a rule only
once.
The Calibration menu allows you to perform the calibration procedures for
correct and accurate operation.
The Trip counter function allows for 10 different counter sets to be saved for
future reference. The counter sets can be for the work carried out in the field or for
transport to and from the field (via the Transport menu).
Combining all of the above, plus the ability to apply slurry according to DGPS
positions via a serial link with a “VRT” (Variable Rate Treatment) computer, make
the TeeJet 500 Slurry computer one of the most versatile, simple to operate slurry
spreader computers available on the market today.
