continues 11.8 - Total boom width This parameter represents the effective spray coverage achieved by the nozzles: for example, if there are 3 nozzles spaced 50 cm apart, the boom section width will be 1,5 m. The displayed value represents the sum of the section widths. To modify the data, set the value for each individual boom section: the sum of the widths is automatically recalculated. -
Page 21: Tank Volume
IMPORTANT: BRAVO 18x computers can only calculate the flow and delivery rates correctly if the flow meter has been installed to the control unit and the flow meter constant has been set. 11.12 Tank volume This parameter sets the amount of liquid which can be contained by the tank: this is thus the ma- ximum amount to which the tank can be filled. -
