  • Page 9: User Programming

    User Programming Introduction Before starting treatment, some settings are necessary to inform the BRAVO30X about the characteristics of the vehicle on which it is installed (by means of the wheel constant), the characteristics of the liquid distributed (by means of the density), the type of flow-meter connected and the type of nozzle fitted.

    Wheel constant menu To modify the wheel constant, the user programming menu must be accessed by pressing the key until the screen shown on the left (menu 1.0) appears. Manual setting Fig.6 key can be pressed to insert the value calculated for the Wheel constant display wheel constant directly: use the modification keys to change and confirm the new value (the value set on the display is...

  • Page 12 Nozzle Flow-Rate If the computer is not connected to a pressure transducer, it may still be able to calculate and display the pressure on the basis of the flow-rate value measured by the flow-meter and the nozzle flow-rate data. N.B. For correct pressure measurement, the nozzles must be in good condition, so that the real flow-rate is the same as the Fig.10 rated flow-rate.
  • Page 13: Settings Preliminary To Treatment

    Settings preliminary to treatment Before each treatment, the following operations should be carried out: Set the field number Reset the field counters Set the amount of liquid put in the tank Select the nozzle to be used. Fig.12 Set the distribution value. Resetting the counters Field number BRAVO30X automatically records of the space travelled, time...
  • Page 14: Selecting The Nozzle

    Pressing the keys sets the tank level at the maximum filling level envisaged by the manufacturer. To set a level different from the maximum filling value, press so that the liquid in tank value flashes and use the modification keys to change it. Filling the tank by means of the flowmeter So the computer stores the exact quantity of liquid put into the tank, it is possible to fill the tank up with the specific flowmeter.
  • Page 15: Valves With Calibrated Returns

    If the operator wishes to use a non-ISO nozzle but still be able to select the ISO nozzles directly, he can access a nozzle known as "USER" in which he can set the data of the nozzle in use. To do this, display the nozzle selection screen as described earlier and bring the flashing nozzle symbol into the posi- tion (fig.16);...

  • Page 18: Displaying The Counters

    Automatic mode: If the foam marker function has been set for automatic opera- tion, the foam marker stops automatically when the master valve is closed and restarts from the opposite side when it is reopened. The active side of the foam marker is indicated by the flashing row symbol above the boom symbol (fig.22).
