Calibrating the flow meter with the nozzle method
 
When calibrating the flow meter using the nozzle method, you determine the average quantity of the liquid applied through a nozzle in a specific time.
 
 
Mode of operation
 
 
When calibrating using this method, you must apply clean water over the entire working width and measure the applied quantity on different nozzles using a measuring cup.
The flow meter measures the pulses during this time.
When you have finished the application, you must enter how much water was applied on average by one nozzle in one minute.
The computer calculates the number of pulses per litre.
 
 
WARNING
Spray liquid or spray liquid residues
Danger of poisoning or chemical burning
1.
Clean the spray liquid tank thoroughly prior to calibration. The field sprayer must be free of spray liquids or spray liquid residues.
2.
Use only clear water during calibration.
3.
Wear required protective equipment.
 
 
 
Procedure
 
 
 
þ
You have prepared a measuring cup to measure the applied quantity.
þ
You have prepared a stopwatch to be able to count one minute precisely.
þ
All of the sections are preselected, and the sprayer can apply over the entire working width.
þ
The tank is filled with clear water.
þ
The set working width is correct.
þ
The number of nozzles per section and the number of sections is entered correctly.
1.
Ensure that all prerequisites have been fulfilled.
2.
Switch to the "CALIBRATION" screen:
 FS_JR3_Einstellungn-Menü >  FS_JR3_Zurück und Weiter > FS_JR3_kalibrierung aufrufen >  FS_JR3_DFM-Kalibrierung
⇨
The following screen appears:
 
3.
 FS_JR3_Düsenmethode - Select the nozzle method.
⇨
The following screen appears:
 MA_JR3_Düsenmethode
⇨
The current flow appears on the "Measured flow" line.
4.
 FS_JR3_Regelung EIN AUS - Start application.
5.
Go to one of the nozzles and carefully collect the water sprayed for 60 seconds by using the prepared measuring cup.
6.
Write down the applied water volume.
7.
Repeat the last two steps on several nozzles.
8.
Calculate and write down an average of several measurements.
9.
 FS_JR3_Regelung EIN AUS - Stop application.
⇨
The application will be stopped.
10.
 FS_JR3_OK - Stop calibration.
⇨
An input box appears on the "3. Enter real volume per nozzle " line.
11.
Enter the average applied volume in litres in this box.
12.
 FS_JR3_Zurück einfach - Exit screen.
⇨
The value of the "Pulses main flow" parameter will be updated.
⇨
You have calibrated the flow meter with the nozzle method.
