    Flow transducer for BK, EVC and ESC control unit For BK and EVC control unit, the housing is fitted just prior to the distribution valves. Flow transducer is fitted to the housing and con- nected to the Scanbox with the a 3 poled plug. For ESC control unit, the flow housing is fitted just prior to the control unit on the delivery hose from the pump.

  • Page 10: Optional Transducers

    Transducer cables are fed through the Scanbox grommets. Connection is directly to the Scanbox circuit board. NOTE: A 2 metre cable extension set with plugs and sockets is avail- able. HARDI ref. no. is 741610. Connection pins Cables All the cables and wires must be routed so they do not get pinched, snagged or melted.

    Calibration It is necessary to set the correct boom width and calibrate the flow and speed transducer before using the system. Calibration of the optional revolutions transducer is necessary if it is fitted. Boom size C A L I B R A T I O N B o o m s i z e s e t For setting of number of boom sections and width.
  • Page 19 The flow transducer can be calibrated theoretically or with two practical methods. For the sake of accuracy, the practical methods are pre- ferred. Practical calibration is done with clean water. The Flow Tank method is more time consuming, but is more accurate than the Flow Nozzle method.
