Radar
A radar speed sensor will be indicated with an "r" on
the display e.g.
The "r" will automatically appear during the auto
calibration process when the console has determined
that a radar is being used. When manually entering
a radar calibration number the "r" must be turned on
by pushing the Auto/Man key. With this key you can
toggle between radar or wheel sensor. The calibration
value itself is adjusted with the
+
and
keys.
Manual Calculation
To manually calculate the proper value for Wheel Speed Sensor pulses, you need to know the
circumference of the wheel to which the sensor is mounted. It can be measured by marking the
tire and measuring the distance covered as that mark makes one full revolution.
Then use the following formula:

Use the
+
or keys to adjust the value. Press the key to validate the value and
advance to the next programming step.
Note: The wheel calibration should be repeated if you are changing to another wheel diameter.
Simulated Speed
If you enter 0 in the speed calibration step, then the console always works with a simulated
speed. This simulated speed can be used to test out the sprayer at stand still.
The simulated speed feature allows you to check out the sprayer at a certain speed without
actually moving the sprayer. This can be done prior to any spraying activity. The simulated speed
value can be changed with the
+
and keys when the speed is shown on the display in
normal working mode.
