The parame- ters which appear on your display are dependent on the type and configura- tion of your implement. Target Rate You can use this parameter to set how much product you want to apply. If you are working with a prescription map, the value input here will be ignored. The job computer works from the value on the prescription map.
- Page 21 Configuring the ECU Setting Parameters Working Width Enter the working width of the implement in feet. Regulation Factor This value will adjust the rate the control valve reacts to changes. If the valve is too slow to react you will need to increase the Regulation Factor. If the valve is too fast to react then you will need to decrease the Regulation Factor.

Page 29: Calibrating The Flow Meter
Configuring the ECU Flow Meter Calibration Calibrating the Flow Meter The flow meter is used to measure the amount of applied liquid. Because the number of pulses per gallon can change during the lifespan of a flow meter, calibration must be carried out in the following cases: • Prior to initial startup. • At the start of each season. • If you notice that there are deviations between the actual applied amount and the displayed amount. - Page 30 Configuring the ECU Flow Meter Calibration 5. Start application with the master switch. During application, the number of gallons will be counted in the screen “Flow Calibration”. 6. Work a test route on the field until you have applied a few hundred gallons. 7. Stop application. The application will be stopped. No pulses are counted on the display. Press OK to stop the calibration.

Diagnostics can be accessed from the Run Screen by pressing the Configu- ration icon. Press the Diagnostics icon. There are four Diagnostic screens: Diagnostics: Speed Sensor - While the tractor is moving, you should see a Frequency Input reading of 1-100 hz. If you are using the tractor as your speed source, your frequency reading with be zero. - Page 40 Troubleshooting Cable Pin Diagrams Diagnostics: Flow Meter 1 - The screen will show you if you are getting a frequencey input from your flow meter. The pulses (or impluses) should increase as more product is applied. The number 34 corresponds to the pin number on the 42 pin ECU harness. Diagnostics: Flow Meter 2 - This is screen is only applicable if you have a second flow meter installed on your implement.
