Depending on the basic settings (Flowrate reference sensor, chap. 4), the pressure sensor, once properly set up, can perform different functions:
• Pressure sensor: the pressure measured by the sensor is used to calculate the spray rate.
• Flowmeter: the pressure sensor displays ONLY the job pressure.
• Both: the pressure sensor displays the job pressure when the machine works within the flowmeter limits.
When the flowmeter operates outside the limits the pressure measured by the sensor is used to calculate the spray rate.

• Steering radius
By setting this value, an acoustic alarm will indicate the exact moment when the operator must steer in order to align the machine with the following track, avoiding
unsprayed or overlapping areas between the two sprays. The acoustic alarm may be enabled or disabled from the menu User > Steering warning (par. 6.12.4).
This distance should correspond to the implement steering radius (A in Fig. 133), used at the end of the field to change driving direction and resume spraying on the
next track, but it will have to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the operator and the speed of the machine.
The alarm is triggered ONLY if the direction of the machine is at an angle of more than 85° with respect to track to cover and if the straight driving mode is
selected (par. 13.2).

monitor ONLY the suitable setup menus.
"HDOP" is the parameter with which the position and number of satellites in space affect the positional
precision of the system (longitude and latitude); the lower the value, the higher is the driving precision.
The precision alarm is triggered when the value of HDOP measured by the GPS receiver is above the set
limit. We recommend NOT to set values above 4.0.

ON "AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS" - MANUAL / AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SELECTION
In a traditional system, the farming machine speed limits depend on the minimum and maximum pressure of the nozzle in use and on the desired
spray rate.
For instance, if we were spraying 100 l/ha with a violet evenfan nozzle ISO110025, the minimum operating speed shall be 6.9 km/h (corresponding
to a pressure of 1 bar) while maximum speed shall be 13.9 Km/h (corresponding to a pressure of 4 bars).
This operation field can be restrictive for the features of both crop to be treated and machine.

Speed (km/h)
According to the set data and those detected by the sensors, the monitor selects the suitable nozzle configuration constantly checking that:
- the spraying pressure always remains within the job features set for each single nozzle;
- in case of many possible nozzle configurations, the operating pressure of the configuration in use is as close as possible to the operating range of
the nozzle;
- required number of nozzle changes is as low as possible.
OK NO
Fig. 274 Fig. 275
In the same way, the overall rate of both nozzles at MINIMUM pressure shall be LOWER than the rate of the high rate nozzle at MAXIMUM
pressure.
When setting the spraying (par. 7.5) the monitor automatically checks the rates and in case the above conditions are not
respected, the computer will display the message Wrong nozzles configuration!

In this case the spray rate can be set with the function F1 Spray rate (par. 13.1),
or by uploading a prescription map (par. 9.6) from one of the external memories
(pendrive + SD card).
If necessary, during spraying, it is possible to intervene on the output control
(par. 7.2 or 6.4.16) to adjust output to crop conditions, increasing or decreasing momentarily
the application rate up to ±50%.
9.5 F2 ON/OFF automatic adjustment Enables / disables automatic output adjustment (DEFAULT: ON).

Fig. 278
The monitor can vary output by using the data contained in a "prescription map", which indicates
the exact quantity of fluid that must be sprayed at every point in the field.
The map is created thanks to a special analysis and simulation software. The correct spray rate
is established for every point on the map, in order to obtain the optimal yield from a field with the
minimum expenditure in terms of materials and time.
To enable monitor to read and use the collected information, the following is required:
- The prescription map must be in " Shapefile ESRI® " format.
- The database field containing the indication of the spray rate that must be applied
to the different areas must be named "Rate".
- The database may include other fields, provided that these contain exclusively numerical
values (the presence of any alphabetic characters will prevent the database from being
imported correctly).
Fig. 279 ESRI® is a registered trademark of ESRI, California, USA
At this point you must transfer the prescription map from one of the external memories (pendrive / SD card) onto the monitor:
• Create a new folder named "maps" on the used memory.
• Save the map in the just created map.
• Paste the map on the internal memory, with menu Files copy to internal memory > Maps from USB (par. 10.4.4) or Files copy to internal memory
> Maps from SD card (par. 10.4.4)
• Carry out one of the functions of menu "Home": F1 Continue last job (par. 10.1), F3 New job (par. 10.3) or F5 Resume job (par. 10.5).
• In the spraying start screen select the desired prescription map.
• Proceed with the spraying. According to the position detected by the GPS receiver, the monitor will use the appropriate spray rate for the area that
is being sprayed (Fig. 279).
If tractor is on a “black” area of the map, i.e. without any spray rate indication, the monitor stops spraying managing every single section.

• GPS
Information concerning speed is received by the GPS, which is connected directly to the monitor.
• Wheel sensor
When this option is enabled, the speed is calculated on the basis of the pulses received by the
speed sensor installed on the wheel.
WARNING: guidance information and all accessory functions
(surface calculation, alignment, etc.) are disabled.
The wheel constant must be entered during the setup procedure (par. 6.4.10).

AFTER CONNECTING THE SELETRON, WAIT FOR APPROX. 4 SECONDS, THE MONITOR MAKES AN
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL AND DISPLAYS THE GREEN SYMBOL OF THE CONNECTED SELETRON.
ONLY NOW is it possible to proceed with the installation of the following Seletron.
Tighten each Seletron onto the relevant nozzle holder, using a torque wrench and a tightening torque of 4.5 Nm / 40 Inch/lbs.
Alternatively, if you do not have a torque wrench, tighten the Seletron devices by hand and make sure there are no leaks.
