AG-TRONIK 8. DESCRIPTION - REGULATOR PR10EC • Flow regulator PR-3EC is intended for electronic or remote regulation of working pressure on all types, carried and driven sprayers • Control of all functions of the regulator is done with AG-TRONIK or REMOTE REGULATION, which control electromotors in individual valves or spraying sections.
AG-TRONIK 8.2. Bypass regulation – components of the assembly • Bypass pressure regulation version consists of two parts: (Figure 46, Figure 47 and Table 8): Figure 46 Figure 47 OPIS FUNKCIJE REGULATION VALVE Fine regulation of working pressure. PRESSURE GAUGE Indicates the operating pressure in the system.
"MAIN" valve and regulation valve (pressure Figure 48 regulation) is performed exclusively with the help of AG-TRONIK or buttons on AG-TRONIK (6: 33DESCRIPTION OF HANDLING WITH AG-TRONIK S1). 9.2. Self-Cleaning Filter • Self-cleaning filter additionally cleans spray before entering the nozzles.
AG-TRONIK 9.3. Distribution Valve (manual) Distribution valve can be used for different purposes, namely: • hydraulic mixing • internal washing of tank • filling container • spraying stick Valve is closed, when the lever is in position, displayed in the figure. On the top of lever you can see sign 0. Open the valve by lifting the red lever.
AG-TRONIK • The turbine of the gauge is sensitive to the residue of the spray that remains in the flowmeter after spraying, so after each spraying make sure that the flow meter inside is clean. • In case of large deviations in the flow constant, the flow sensor is typically caused by the incorrect operation of the flow sensor.
AG-TRONIK 9.7. Set of distribution valves (EC-06, EC-08, EC-06RV, EC-08RV) Set of distribution valves EC consists of: 1- distribution valve 2- flow meter 3- bypass valve 4- connection for pressure gauge or pressure switch Figure 55 • The purpose of the distribution valves is to supply the chemical preparation to individual sections on the spray set.
AG-TRONIK 9.8. Manometer • As standard, pressure regulator is fitted with pressure gauge with diameter of 63 mm, class 1.6 • Pressure gauge is filled with glycerin, which stabilizes the indicator. During winter time, it is recommended to unscrew pressure gauge and store it in a warm place, if the sprinkler is exposed to temperatures below freezing point.
• If there is a serious motor fault and the fuse does not engage, fault must be remedied by authorized service of Agromehanika. Figure 60 • Speed sensor is connected to bottom part of connection cabinet (4-pole connector) for driven sprinklers.
