►High ow limit – enter the ow sensors high limit value.

►Automatic calibration – establishes the calibration and limits if

the number of impulses per litre for the ow meter is unknown or to make sure the value is correct.

►Impulse count – shows the number of impulses during

calibration. Minimum of 10 impulses needed to do a calibration.

►Collected volume – enter the volume passed through the

Current droplet size

Recommended pressure range

Displays the recommended pressure range for the selected nozzle. The pressure range will change depending upon the selected nozzle, target application rate (including boost/step percent increase/

decrease) and working speed.

IMPORTANT! Always refer to the recommended pressure range as

failure to do so may result in uneven spray patterns.

Current working pressure

Displays the current working pressure.

NOTE: This pressure range should not exceed the recommended

A single nozzle can produce different droplet size classications

at different pressures. The colours displayed in the recommended pressure range are directly associated with the current droplet

sizes. The droplet size displays as one (1) of eight (8) classication
