Job Setup & Field
Testing
Before beginning an actual application, you will need to verify that the programming of the SCS console will
produce the desired results. After the Initial Programming and Calibration procedures, the SCS console should
be relatively accurate. However, the following procedures will help test the SCS console calibration and
programming, refine the system for accurate product application for a specific machine, and help catch any
calculation or programming errors.
Liquid Applications
Note:
When using suspensions, the system should be rinsed thoroughly after each days use.
Initial Job Setup
1.
Fill the sprayer tank with water only. If using a positive displacement pump, open the Pressure Relief Valve
(PRV).
2.
Place the master switch in the ON position and toggle all boom switches OFF.
3.
Turn the SCS console power ON and verify that the console is in Automatic mode (Press AUTO/MANUAL
to toggle).
4.
Verify the boom widths, speed cal, meter cal, valve cal, and rate cal values have been programmed
correctly.
5.
Press SELF TEST to access the Self Test mode and enter a simulation speed. This value should represent
the normal operating speed.
6.
Run the pump at normal operating RPM.
7.
If a positive displacement pump is used, set the pressure relief valve (PRV) to 65 PSI [450 kPa]. If a
centrifugal pump is used, proceed with step 8.
8.
Operate the boom switches to verify that the valves are functional and no nozzles are plugged.
9.
Toggle the SCS console to Manual mode (Press AUTO/MANUAL).
10.
Place all boom switches in the ON position.
