Operating instructions Starting the FM4800H Secure the long ground spikes. Lower the drawbar over the hose , and release the safety stop so the hose reel runs on the hose. Move the machine to the field in the transport position. When the machine is at the crop to be irrigated, disconnect the tractor from the front drawbar.
Lubricate the steering, roller chain for hose guides, roller chain for forward traction, cross track shaft for hose guide with water-repellent grease. Check tyre pressure: Rear wheel air pressure: FM4800H: 2.9 bar Front wheel air pressure: FM4800H: 4.1 bar Check that front and rear drawbars line up.
There is a leak at the coupling or assemblies, so the oil has drained out, leaving air in the system. b. The system must be vented. (call a technician). Data for FM4800H with dual pump Hose PEL 110 mm: Capacity up to 75m - hose length from 500 to 675 m.
Technical data Nelson SR 150 is factory-adjusted to Danish conditions and ready to use after the following three steps: Select and install the nozzle size that best suits your application. Performance data for the different sizes are shown in the table below. Adjust the stop on the part circle to obtain the desired irrigation angle.

Standard menu: Standard display SPEED Speed. Can be changed at any time during irrigation using the "+" and "-" keys. ZONE Current zone 1...4, with corresponding speed. The speed cannot be changed. (Zone active) The dose is calculated from the speed and constants and shows the current number of mm for irrigation. As SPEED increases, DOSE DOSE decreases.

MENU 3 PRESSURE SENSOR Shows that the pressure is high when block is lit. The machine can only move when the pressure is high. If no pressure sensor is fitted (machine data 14 = 0), the machine will operate regardless of pressure status. The machine can be fitted with analogue pressure sensors.
Page 17
MENU 4 CURR. SPEED Shows the current speed. That is, the speed at which the machine is moving now. This can be used to find how fast the machine can move. The current speed may differ slightly from the set speed, especially at the start. This does not matter, as regulation ensures that the average speed within 10 metres is correct.

MENU 6 SIGNAL GSM signal strength. NETWORK GSM network. First number on "SMS" list. Second number on "SMS" list. See GSM chapter for details. START: The turbine can only start if the magnet is aligned with the end stop sensor (or end stop sensors). See menu 3 for control of the STOP SENSOR. Press the START key to turn on the water.

PRE-IRRIGATION: If pre-irrigation is required, press the PRE- key. The pre-irrigation time is calculated as 8 x the time to move 1 m at the current speed. The constant can be changed individually for pre- and post-irrigation. (See constants). If pre-irrigation is selected, the machine will move forward approx. ½ m, after which the machine will stop and stand still for as long as pre-irrigation is performed.

There are a variety of constants that can be modified by the user. These constants will be stored for many years, even if the battery is removed. Programming procedure: Adjust the speed to 11.1 m/h to access the constants. Press the PROG key 3 times in quick succession to access and change the constants. Press the PROG key again to count forward to the constant you wish to change.

Program Rain can be set to 2 different types of sensors. See machine data no. 16 Sensor One is a round sensor with 4 built-in sensors and can only be used for rollers with 1 magnet. When the battery is connected, the display shows the following for 2 seconds: VERSION n.n0.
Page 25
Troubleshooting: The turbine does not start when the START key is pressed. Answer: The magnet at the stop sensor is not in position or the sensor or sensor cable is damaged. Stop sensor: The mark must be on when the magnet is in position and off when the magnet is removed. See Menu 3. A damaged cable can be assembled in an epoxy moulded assembly or with shrinkable tubing and glue.

Combining the various constants: The machine will always be able to run with the factory-set constants. However, there will be different conditions from farm to farm and from machine to machine. Many requests can be met by changing the constants. Slow start-up of turbine.
