Bedienungsanleitung - Using Automatic mode

Using Automatic mode

In automatic mode, the job computer regulates the degree of opening of the control valve and the main valve on the manifold such that the target rate defined for the application rate can be reached.

You are in automatic mode when one of the following icons appears in the spray data area of the work screen:

Icon on the work screen	Meaning
	Field sprayer can apply.
	The speed of the field sprayer is lower than "Regulation off below". Field sprayer can apply. The flow will not be regulated. The control valve remains in the last known position until the speed changes.
	The speed of the field sprayer is below "Sprayer off below". The main valve is closed automatically.
	Regulation is not possible because the application was deactivated by the SECTION-Control app.

Preconditions

To use automatic mode, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

▪: Rate has been entered.

▪: Flow meter is calibrated.

▪: A speed signal is available.

▪: Working width is set.

▪: The speed of the field sprayer is higher than the speed for the "Regulation off below" parameter.

▪: The parameter "Regul. factor" has been set.

Mode of operation

In the following cases, the flow is automatically adjusted:

▪: Speed of the field sprayer has changed.

▪: Number of switched-on sections has changed.

▪: You have changed the target rate manually.

▪: The application rate has been changed by the information from the application map.

The speed and precision of the regulation depends on the value of the "Regul. factor" parameter.

You can change the target rate manually while driving in Automatic mode.

To operate this function the user needs the ME joystick first of all.

	Increases the target rate by 10%.
	Reduces the target rate by 10%.
	Restores the target rate back to 100%.

Procedure

To change the target rate during work:

1.: - Activate automatic steering.

2.: - Open main valve.

⇨: Spray cones appear under the boom icon on the work screen. Still, the sprayer is not spraying.

⇨: As long as you are at a standstill, the sprayer cannot start spraying. See icons: and
