Application Rate Mode Ag Leader Technology

Ground Speed Sensor: Set primary speed sensor to SERIAL.
The monitor will get ground speed from the serial cable
connection to the TeeJet 844. Leave the secondary speed sensor
set to WHEEL and do not change the Speed Sensor Pulses/100 ft.
Also do not perform a distance calibration using wheel selection.
No calibration is needed when primary speed is set to SERIAL.
Note: This setting affects all configurations.
App Distance From GPS: Set to distance between where product
exits applicator and position of GPS antenna on vehicle. Example:
If the boom is 20 feet behid GPS antenna set to 20 feet back. Press
DOWN ARROW key to set feet back, UP ARROW key to set feet
forward.
Full Swath: Ignore setting. Swath automatically comes from
serial port of the 844 controller. The swath on the PF
automatically changes as boom sections are turned ON or OFF.
Tgt Units: Contrler Units: Normally set to 1:1.0000. This ratio
is used to convert the units in a target file (.tgt) to the units of
application.
Example: Tgt file in pints/ac of Treflan, TeeJet 844 applies
based on gallons/ac. If tank mix is 1 pint of Treflan / 10
gallon water, then set to 1:10.0000. The PF will read the
pints/acre rate out of the .tgt file, multiply it by ten to
convert it to gallons/ac and send that rate to the TeeJet 844
console as the rate to be applied.
Target Rate Increment: Determines increment value by which
you can change the manual target rate with each press of Up or
Down arrow keys. Choices are 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0, 500.0,
1000.0, 5000.0 or 10000.0. Suggested setting when planting corn
is 500.0 or 1000.0. For applying fertilizer or liquid use 1.0 or 10.0.
Actual Rate Scale Factor: This setting is required to prevent data
loss in the log file (YLD file) when the units/sec of application get
above 3. The rate actually applied and rate displayed on PF is
unaffected by this setting. Use the chart below for setting. When
the log file is mapped in Ag Leader's SMS mapping program, the
mapped actual rate will be 1/10
th
of the real rate if the Actual Rate
Scale Factor is 0.100. If it is 0.010, the mapped actual rate will be
1/100
th
the real rate. The mapped actual rate can be scaled back up
in SMS. The summary actual rate is unaffected by this setting
