ISOBUS Job Computer : IC18 Sprayer Density Factor Density Factor establishes the weight per volume setting based on the type of fertilizer being used. • To select the Density Factor, use the number pad or slide bar. The fertilizer’s ability to flow is affected by a number of factors. These factors may vary with each batch and it may change due to weather (humidity, etc.). In order to accommodate for this, the job computer uses a density factor to compensate for the nature of the applied fertilizer.
ISOBUS Job Computer : IC18 Sprayer Implement Parameters Implement Parameters establishes the following: ►Section Width – sets the spraying width during application. ►Nozzle Preset Setup – where up to five (5) sets of nozzle options can be established to set the nozzle type, size, low/high pressure limit, reference flow and reference pressure. ►Regulation Parameters – where adjustments to the valve calibration, nozzle spacing and regulations mode can be established.
ISOBUS Job Computer : IC18 Sprayer When “General” nozzle type is selected and a establised nozzle size is selected, the Low Pressure Limit, High Pressure Limit, Reference Flow and Reference Pressure fields will be automatically set with the standard settings for the specific nozzle chosen. These setting can be manually adjusted. Low Pressure Limit Low Pressure Limit establishes the limit for the lowest allowed operating pressure for the selected nozzle type.
ISOBUS Job Computer : IC18 Sprayer Regulation Parameters Regulation Parameters establishes adjustments to the valve calibrations, nozzle spacing and regulations mode. NOTE: Adjusting the Valve Calibration settings involves significant changes and adjustments should therefore be made in small steps. Figure 3-22: Regulation Parameters Valve Calibration, Rough Rough regulation value calibration allows you to regulate the setting of the regulating valve to accommodate different application needs.
ISOBUS Job Computer : IC18 Sprayer Calibrations Figure 3-23: Calibrations Calibrations establishes either manual or automatic settings of the sensors.
