Information concerning speed is usually received by the GPS, which is connected directly to the monitor.
If there is no GPS signal this menu allows to use the wheel sensor as a source of speed data instead of the GPS, and therefore to calculate the
data on the basis of the pulses received by the speed sensor installed on the wheel.

• Constant
Allows entering the wheel constant value calculated with the suitable formula.
The wheel constant can be calculated with a good approximation by detecting the distance traveled by the
wheel with the speed sensor.
The longer the distance traveled, the more accurate the wheel constant calculation.

no. of detection points x wheel rpm

<distance traveled> distance expressed in cm covered by the wheel along measurement travel.

The monitor closes the main valve when the
tractor speed is lower than the set value.

• Regulation pressure limit


To configure the items on this menu, you must
enable the pressure limit:

of the proportional valve when the pressure is
lower than the set value.

• Flowrate correction factor


When using a paddle flowmeter and the sprayed fluid has a different viscosity than that of water, the
computer could display wrong measurements; to correct them change the flowrate correction factor:
• if at the end of the spraying the tank still contains fluid, reduce the factor;
• if the fluid finishes before the job has ended, increase the factor.

Flowmeters of the ORION series (code 462xxx) are not affected by the viscosity difference of
the fluids: set the value to 1.00.

Fig. 117

• Tank level correction factor


If the sprayed fluid is lighter than water, the device may indicate wrong measurements; to correct this
measurement, edit the sprayed liquid weight, referred to 1 liter of product.

When this value is exceeded, the monitor restores the correct spraying:
depending on the section management mode enabled (par. 9.7 Boom section management), the monitor
will notify the operator that the section valves spraying outside the field perimeter must be opened or
closed, or proceed to the automatic opening/closing of the spraying points.

The following conditions are required in order to use this setup:


- Drawing the field perimeter (red line in the figures) using the function F4 Surface (par. 13.4).
- Enabling automatic section management: the icon on the guidance screen indicates that
automatic management is enabled.

AUTOMATIC REGULATION CONTROL

• Regulating valve positioning


This function proves useful when control units without metered by-passes are used, as well as when the automatic management of spraying points
is active (Seletron system type).
OPERATION
When one or more section valves are closed during spraying, the control valve proportionally opens to reduce system pressure.
Upon the first modification of the spraying conditions (one or more sections set to ON), the control valve closes as much as necessary to restore
output correct pressure.
This function allows programming the Flowrate activation limit (with one or more sections set to OFF), under which the control valve closes for the
duration of the Activation time set, so that pressure is increased before valves are set to ON.
In such a way, the correct spraying will be restored more quickly.

First of all, enable the menu to configure it.

GUIDANCE

• 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).

Fig. 132 Fig. 133

• Reference lines distance offset


This value allows changing the distance between the reference tracks.

+0.5 m +0.5 m
When the value is positive, the distance between the

Some spraying modes entail special areas called "Buffer zones", where spraying must be reduced or absent.
Besides the normally used nozzles, special nozzles must be installed (e.g.: ASJ AOC), which reduce the jet or the drift effect at boom end sides. To
connect the "Buffer" nozzles, proceed as follows:
LH “Buffer” nozzle (boom view from back), 1st boom nozzle, 2nd boom nozzle,---> No. of boom nozzle, RH “Buffer” nozzle (boom view from back).

This function entails the assembly of specific nozzles at boom end; these nozzles allow spraying areas that cannot be reached by the traditional
nozzles due to the boom size (i.e. fences). The enabling of such nozzles does not stop the output from the other boom nozzles.
The connection and pairing procedure of seletron devices and "Fence" nozzles is the following: at first connect all boom nozzles, then the left
"Fence" nozzle and the right "Fence" nozzle.
By setting the reference flowrate and pressure for the "Fence" nozzle, it is possible to control the output of all nozzles based on the set spray rate.
The width covered by the fence nozzle is not included in the calculation of the applied area.

9.1 How the automatic nozzle selection works (SELETRON system)

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.

Operation field of possible combinations of ISO11002 and ISO110025 nozzles


When automatic nozzle selection is enabled, the monitor (using Seletron devices) will enable the nozzle, or combination of nozzles, according to
the set spray rate and driving speed.
This system allows to widen the machine operating range, i.e. in the above instance, using ISO11002 yellow (A) and ISO110025 violet (B) nozzles,
that work correctly at a speed from 5.5 km/h to 24.9 km/h.

Nozzle A

Nozzle B

Fig. 272

Fig. 273
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.

When setting a spraying, make sure to couple compatible nozzles.


For example:
• Compatible nozzles: the flowrate at 1 bar of the ISO025 nozzle is LOWER than the flowrate at 5 bars of the ISO02 nozzle (Fig. 274).
• NON-compatible nozzles: the flowrate at 1 bar of the ISO05 nozzle is HIGHER than the flowrate at 5 bars of the ISO02 nozzle (Fig. 275).

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!

(pendrive + SD card).
If necessary, during spraying, it is possible to intervene on the output control

9.6 Importing and using a prescription map

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.
