Valve Response Rate
The Response Rate has a range of 1 to 100 and the

controlled to. Increasing this value will cause the system
to respond more quickly. Decreasing it will cause a slower
response. If the flow is slow to reach the target value,
consider increasing it.

Percent Tier Disable
The 'Percent Tier Disable' value is usd to minimise

sensitivity when switching tiers.
The '10% Percent Tier Disable' value means a spraying
Tier will not change down until the spray rate is 10% below
the target rate.
