Introduction - Hardi MUSTANG 3500 Operator's Manual

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Your new HARDI
controller, designed for superior control of agricultural product
applications while providing easy-to-use features to help you manage
your farming operation efficiently. From the large, easy-to-read display
and controls to the Utilities Software provided, the system is designed
with the operator in mind.
The HARDI
widths to determine which portion of the total liquid is being by-passed
rather than sprayed from the boom section. For this reason, it is
extremely important to adjust and verify the amount of liquid that is
diverted by the constant pressure distribution valve when a section is shut
off.
The HARDI
are described in the following paragraphs.
THREE INDEPENDENT RATE SETTINGS
The system provides three application rate settings with clearly marked
buttons to choose the desired rate. The three rates can be set up in two
ways: If the same nozzles are always used, three selectable rates can be
set up for varying field conditions. If three different sets of quick-change
nozzles are used, each of the three rates can be set up for a different set
of nozzles. This will save time when changing nozzles, because the
console will not need to be calibrated when nozzles are changed.
AREA AND FLOW COUNTERS
Nine independent field area and flow counter pairs, plus total area and
flow pair. You are in total control from your cab.
ALARM WITH EASY SET UP AND CONTROL
An internal alarm is provided to alert the operator to error conditions. The
alarm is factory-set to turn on if the actual application rate is more than
+/– 10% from the target rate, and can easily be turned to a lower volume,
or turned off entirely, by simply using the toggle switch on the back of the
console. The alarm can also be set to turn on if the tank level is below a
set minimum.
