2.0 CALIBRATION AND SET UP
In order to control accurately, the TASC console requires certain information about your system, such as application
rates, boom widths, test speed, etc.. Next, the rate sensor and ground speed sensor must be calibrated.
2.1 U.S. OR METRIC UNITS
The control console is capable of displaying two different units of measure, US and Metric.
2.1.1 UNITS FOR EACH FUNCTION DISPLAYED POSITION (LIQUID APPLICATION)
FUNCTION U.S. METRIC
Speed Miles/Hour (MPH)* Kilometers/Hour (KPH)*
Area Acres (-Ac)* Hectares (-Ha)*
Chem. Vol. Applied Ounces-U.S. Gallons (TOTAL)* Liters (TOTAL)*
Chem. Appl. RateOunces/Acre (RATE -Ac)* Liters/Acre (RATE -Ha)*
Carrier Appl. Rate U.S. Gallons/Acre (Flow RATE -Ac)* Liters/Hectare (Flow RATE -Ha)*
Carrier Vol. Applied U.S. Gallons (TOTAL Flow)* Liters (TOTAL Flow)*
Width Inches-Feet (TOTAL Boom Ft.)* Meters (TOTAL Boom Meters)*
Distance Feet-Miles (Dist. Ft.)*** Meters-Kilometers (Dist. Meters)***
2.1.2 UNITS FOR EACH FUNCTION DISPLAYED POSITION (GRANULAR APPLICATION)
FUNCTION U.S. METRIC
Speed Miles/Hour (MPH)* Kilometers/Hour (KPH)**
Area Acres (-Ac)* Hectares (-Ha)*
Chem. Vol. Applied Pounds (TOTAL)* Kilograms (TOTAL)*
Chem. Appl. Ratepounds/Acre (RATE -Ac) Kilograms/Hectare (RATE -Ha)*
Carrier Appl. Rate Pounds/Acre Kilograms/Hectare
(Flow RATE -Ac)* (Flow RATE -Ha)*
Carrier Vol. Applied Pounds-Tons (TOTAL Flow)* Kilograms-Metric Tons (TOTAL Flow)*
Width Inches-Feet (TOTAL Boom Ft.)* Meters (TOTAL Boom Meters)*
Distance Feet-Miles (Dist. Ft.)*** Meters-Kilometers (Dist. Meters)***
Product Density Pounds/Cubic Ft. (Cu. Ft.)* Kilograms/Tenths of Meter 3 (Meters C)*
* Items in parenthesis are the abbreviations that appear on the screen.
** No units displayed
*** No units displayed after roll over of feet to miles or meters to kilometers
2.1.3 CHANGING UNITS
To change units, set the Mode Switch to “OPERATE” and the Display Selector to “SPEED”. The current speed units
are displayed (MPH or KPH). Holding the INC/DEC switch down for about 10 sec. causes the display to alternate
between U.S. and Metric modes. Release the DEC Switch when the desired mode is displayed.
2.2 SETTING CHANNEL 1, 2, 3 DRIVE METHOD (TASC 6500 ONLY)
The TASC 6500 Chemical Applicator channels (1, 2, 3) can use three different drive methods, depending on the type
of equipment being controlled by the individual channel. "Peristaltic Drive" is used for peristaltic injection pumps.
"Non-Peristaltic Drive" can be used for a granular bin motor. "Flow Mode" is used to control a positional control
valve, such as a hydraulic flow control valve. You must use the appropriate drive method for proper operation.
A. Use the following switch settings to select the desired drive method (You should have to do this only once
unless you change your equipment configuration.).
NOTE: PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING SEC-
TIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU BEGIN CALIBRATION!
