Changing the delay parameter
You must now adjust the “Delay correction on start” and “Delay correction on stop” parameters.
 
 
Procedure
 
 
1.
Alter the parameters using the following rule of thumb:
- If the sprayer switches on too late, it needs more time. The delay period must be extended.
- If the sprayer switches on too soon, it needs less time. The delay period must be reduced.
2.
Calculate the new value for the delay parameter.
Perform this step separately for the “Delay correction on start” or “Delay correction on stop”
If the sprayer switches on or off too late:
Increase the value for the delay correction.
If the sprayer switches on or off too early:
Reduce the value for the delay correction.
 
 
Example
 
 
A sprayer travelled at a speed of 8 km/h. This corresponds to 0.22 cm/ms.
After the second travel, the distance P was measured. The distance was 80cm.
The “Delay correction on stop” parameter is currently set to 0 ms.
The sprayer was switched off too late when travelling over an area where the product has been already applied. Point Z was in front of Point X along the direction of travel. The lines were marked as in the illustration below:
When travelling over the area where the product has been already applied, the sprayer switched off too late
1.
Calculate the correction value:
[Distance P] : [Speed of sprayer] = Correction value
80 : 0,22 = 364
2.
Enter the value 364 for the “Delay correction on stop” parameter.

1.
Calculate the correction value:
[Distance P] : [Speed of sprayer] = Correction value
80 : 0.22 = 364
2.
Since the field sprayer switches off too early, the correction value must be negative. Enter the value 364 for the “Delay correction on stop” parameter.
