We congratulate you for choosing a HARDI plant protection product. The reli- ability and e ciency of this product depend on your care. Read and pay attention to this instruction book. It contains information for the e cient use and long life of this quality product. -
Page 5: Operator Safety
HARDI dealer or HARDI service personnel for further explanation before using the equipment. Description The HARDI Monitor 1500 and HARDI Controller 2500 are for use in agricultural and horticultural production. HM 1500 is a monitor whereas HC 2500 permits automatic control of application rate. -
Page 6: Fitting The System
Functions include correct area with closure of up to 8 spray boom sections, alarm functions for dosage and minimum tank contents and possibility for audio/visual alarm. The transducers utilised are chosen for long service life and good signal quality. Speed, area switch and revolutions transducer is the same component. The ow transducer has a diode built into the housing to aid servicing. - Page 7 HM 1500 Monitor with manual control unit (BK, BK/EC) and Spray box for boom sections Active boom width is calculated automatically. The Spray box switches are set to correspond with the boom sections. NOTE: Extended menu setting: [ Control box ] is [ Connected ]. See “Extended menu”.

1.0 mm to ensure su cient power supply. NOTE: Do not connect to the starter motor or generator/alternator. Warranty is void if this is done. Use the HARDI Electric distribution box (Ref. no. 817925) if the tractor has a doubtful wiring. -
Page 9: Display
Display The display is tted in the tractor cabin at a convenient place. The mounting rod (A) is utilised to t the display together with the Spray box. Place “ Quick guide” sticker at C NOTE: Power must be disconnected before wire harness (B) is connected to the display. -

Flow transducer for BK and EVC control unit For BK and EVC control unit, the housing is tted just prior to the distribution valves. Flow transducer is tted to the housing and connected to the Scanbox with the a 3 poled plug. -
Page 12: Optional Transducers
Optional transducers Revolutions and area-meter transducer The south side of the magnet must face the transducer. Distance between them must 5-7 mm be 5 to 7 mm. An adjustable hose clamp drilled with a 4.5 mm hole can T165-0006 be used to attach the magnet T165-0005 to the shaft. -

Page 20: Calibration
Calibration It is necessary to set the correct boom width and calibrate the ow and speed transducer before using the system. Calibration of the optional revolutions transducer is necessary if it is tted. Boom size C A L I B R A T I O N Boom size set For setting of number of boom sections and width. - Page 21 The ow transducer can be calibrated theoretically or with two practical methods. For the sake of accuracy, the practical methods are preferred. Practi- cal calibration is done with clean water. The Flow Tank method is more time consuming, but is more accurate than the Flow Nozzle method. When changing to nozzles with more than a 100% increase or decrease in out- put, it is recommended to re-calibrate the ow transducer.
- Page 22 F l o w x x . x x L / m i n 4. Using a HARDI calibration jug, check the actual nozzle output per minute. It is recommended that an average of several nozzles be taken.

Page 29: Storage
Storage When the tractor and sprayer is parked, disconnect the power supply to the Scanbox. This will stop the system from using power. The display and control boxes should be protected from moisture and should be removed if the tractor does not have a cabin. Emergency operation The system is added to a standard electric control unit without any modi - cations to the wiring. - Page 30 Note the relation is inverse: • To raise the displayed volume, the PPU is lowered. • To lower the displayed volume, the PPU is raised. Testing ow transducer BROWN wire to positive of 12 volt battery. BLACK wire to negative. BLUE wire to multimeter positive.
- Page 31 Testing speed transducer BROWN wire to positive of 12 volt battery. BLACK wire to negative. BLUE wire to multimeter. 1. Connect negative from multimeter to negative of battery. 2. Set multimeter to DC volt. For inductive type 3. Bring a metallic object (3 to 5 mm) up to the transducer.
