Programming Guidelines

Make sure that all hardware components are properly installed and tested. Before you start
the programming process you should first check if the console and all sensors are working
properly.

Important Preliminary Information

Before you begin, we recommend that you review the following Programming Guidelines that
control the programming process:

☛ The Pro key is used for power ON
☛ Clr & Down key combination is used to power OFF (when not spraying)
☛ Holding Pro key for 3 seconds is used to enter and/or exit the programming mode
☛ Shortly pressing the Pro key once while in the programming mode saves the current

parameter and advances to the next programming step

☛ Shortly pressing the Clr key restores the parameter with the default value
☛ Holding the Clr key restores the parameter with its minimum value (mostly zero)
☛ The value of a parameter is changed with the Up and Down keys. Holding the Up or

Down key changes the parameter rapidly.

☛ Pressing the Pro key once while displaying the working width will allow the working width

to be adjusted. Once adjusted, pressing the Pro key again will return to the normal
operating mode.

Start

To begin the programming process:

☛ Read above for programming tips.
☛ Be sure the Master switch is “OFF.”
☛ Turn console “ON” by pressing the Pro key. When the Control Console is turned on, the

software version will be displayed for approximately 5 seconds. The software version and
serial number of the console will be needed when calling for service support. The serial
number is located on a sticker on the back of the console.

814-AB US V2.10A

Example: the 814-AB airblast monitor is working in US units and the software version is
V2.10A.

☛ After a short time the console will change to the normal monitor mode. The first monitored

value is the working width.

10.0 ft

ADJUSTING THE WORKING WIDTH

Default = 10 ft. (3 m )

10.0 ft

➽ While in the normal monitoring mode, the display selected must be the working width.
➽ Be sure that the Master switch is in the OFF position.
➽ Then press the Pro key once.

10.0 ft <-O->

The working width display will then be flashing. The value can now be adjusted using the Up
and Down keys.

Once the value has been adjusted, return to the normal monitoring mode by pressing the Pro
key once.

System Setup Mode

The System Setup Mode contains the programming steps that customize the monitor to the
sprayer or sprayer components. These include calibration steps and parameters that, once
programmed, will likely never change. An overview of all programming steps is shown in
“Appendix B: Overview of Programming Steps”.

To enter the System Setup Mode:

☛ First be sure that the console is ON (if not turn it on by pressing the Pro key and wait until

the normal display is visible).

☛ Check if the Master switch is OFF
☛ Then press and hold the Pro key for 3 seconds to enter the System Setup Mode.

SELECTING UNITS

Default = US

>US units

Select the units that the monitor will be operating in using the Up or Down keys. Select US
units for English measurement units or SI units for metric measurement units.

P

Depress the

RO

key to accept the value and advance to the next program step.

SPEED SENSOR CALIBRATION

Default = 250 pulses/300 feet (100 meters)

>250 puls/300ft

The speed sensor needs to be calibrated in order to provide the proper speed and area
readings. The value for this step is the number of pulses generated by the speed sensor in
300 ft (100 meters).
