    The version of the PCB used depends of what type of sprayer the sensor in mounted on. For the wire connections to the PCB, see section “PCB’s” on pages 70. When the pressure sensor is mounted on the sprayer, the HC5500 is setup to the sensor. In menu “5” on pages 21, the setup is shown.

  • Page 15: Tankgauge

    TankGauge The TankGauge (digital contents sensor) is a sensor that can measure how much liquid is in the tank. It has no automatic function. It can give a warning when the tank is about to run dry. Connecting TankGauge Wire between JobCom and 26007300 AMP Super Seal Wire Wire (old version)
  • Page 16 • When the sprayer is stationary When the sprayer is moving, the HC5500 will calculate an average value of the read out from the TankGauge. The average value is necessary because of the movement of the liquid in the tank will when the sprayer is moving. If a not averaged value was shown, the readout would be useless for the driver.

  • Page 35 New tractors are often driven with clutch free gearboxes, e.g. Vario – Dynashift – CVX. These new gearboxes corrupt the Hardi-Matic system in the liquid system of the sprayer because they can change the ground speed without changing the rpm on the engine, PTO hence or liquid pump on the sprayer.
  • Page 36 LookAhead needs to be calibrated to the capacity of the nozzles. Boom size and number of sections also have an influence so no standard calibration value that can be put into the HC5500. In some cases, LookAhead may have limited effect. For example: 1.
