Filling is started at a press of the ‘fill’ button and will automatically turn off the fill when the required amount is reached.
The fill can be automatically stopped at various intervals before the total amount is reached by entering fill pause amounts. Filling will then stop at each pause and the operator will need to restart filling when ready.
This allows the operator the time needed to measure and add chemicals, while still providing clean water for rinsing jugs or used containers.
Another option available is to enter the field size. The calibrated application rate is known which allows the total volume to be calculated; multiple and part loads will be filled accordingly.
On some systems an overfill percentage can be added to ensure you do not run out.
1. Tank could be also filled by field size, operator enters the size of the field.
2. The system knows the application rate
3. An extra over fill % can
be added so the operator doesn’t run out
4. The system works out how many full and part tanks required to spray the field (1 full & 3725L)
This system uses a float, not a weigh cell, so specific gravity does not affect the fill volume.
Possible problems
• The sight gauge becomes stuck. • The incorrect volume is entered. • There is damage, or a fault, with the electrical cable. • The fill valve does not work/becomes stuck.
Normally, the valve can be manually turned to allow filling if there is a problem.
