OPERATION
Ensure the system is properly calibrated before beginning to
apply product. It is recommended that you complete the Pre-
Application System review in this manual prior to beginning
any operations.
MANUAL OPERATION
This mode sets and maintains a steady flow rate (GPM) not
affected by changes in vehicle speed. The overall application
rate (GPA) will vary depending on speed (slow vehicle speed
= increased application rate, fast speed = lower application
rate).
Manual mode is most useful for system set up, spot
applications, etc.
1.
Press the AUTO/MAN button to select Manual mode
("MAN" icon will be displayed).
2.
Adjust the flow rate by using the Increase/Decrease
buttons. The longer the buttons are held, the faster the
valve will move.
Manual control can be disabled by changing the ENABLE
MANUAL CONTROL setting in Channel Setup/Control.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
This mode sets and maintains a steady application rate (GPA) -
unaffected by changes in speed or section switching.
1.
Press the AUTO/MAN softkey to select Automatic mode
("AUTO" icon will be displayed).
2.
Switch on the desired number of boom sections.
3.
Switch the RUN/HOLD softkey to RUN.
4.
Drive vehicle. (Speed signal will activate system.)
Use the Section switches, the RUN/HOLD switch or remote
RUN/HOLD sensor to Start or Stop application at any time.
ON-THE-GO RATE ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust the application rate, press the Increase/Decrease
buttons. The increment of this change is set in RATE STEP in
Channel Setup/Operation.
For example, if the calibrated TARGET RATE = 20.0 GPA and
RATE STEP = 1.0 GPA, pressing the Increase softkey once will
increase the target rate from 20.0 to 21.0. The display will
momentarily show the new TARGET (21.0) for two seconds
before it resumes showing the ACTUAL application rate. The
"adjusted" target rate is maintained until console power is
turned off. NOTE: The target rate may also be adjusted while
in HOLD.

PRE-APPLICATION SYSTEM REVIEW
Before beginning actual spraying, perform the following "Pre-
Field" procedure to ensure that your valve settings, nozzle
selection and desired speed range will allow the ProStop-E
ISOBUS rate controller to provide the required application
control. This procedure should be repeated for each new
nozzle selection and/or application rate.
OPTIMIZING LIQUID FLOW RATE
For best performance the flow rate should be adjusted so
the control valve is operating mid-position. If the valve is
forced to operate almost fully open or fully closed, erratic flow
control will result. This procedure will balance the liquid flow
to provide smooth, accurate flow control.
1.
Fill your sprayer tank with clean water - DO NOT use
chemicals until the entire system is completely checked
out and operating properly.
2.
Start pump; bring up to normal operating RPM. DO NOT
exceed safe system pressure rating.
3.
Power up the ProStop-E ISOBUS rate controller and
switch system to HOLD.
4.
Enable TEST SPEED in the Configuration menu, tab "A" by
touching the box next to the MPH field.
5.
Enter your application speed in data entry field.
6.
Select Manual control using Auto/Man softkey.
7.
Turn all section switches on.
8.
Press and hold Increase button to maximize flow. This
may take 10+ seconds depending on valve type.
9.
If installed, adjust agitation valve for desired agitation
amount.
10. If the rate displayed is more than 15% over your desired
application rate, reduce liquid flow by one or more of the
following:
•
Slow down pump RPM
•
Open a return or agitation valve to reduce flow
through the flowmeter.
•
Close a throttling valve (controls output to the
sections) to choke down pump output.
11. If the rate displayed is less than your desired application
rate, increase liquid flow by one or more of the following:
•
Increase pump RPM
•
Close a return or agitation valve to increase flow
through flowmeter.
•
Open a throttling valve (controls output to sections)
to increase pump output.
12. Return to the Configuration menu, tab "A" and touch the
box to disable TEST SPEED
