The HARDI Controller 5500 is for use in agricultural and horticultural production. The Controller permits automatic control
of application rate.
Main components are:
• Controller
• Spray Box
• Junction box (on sprayer)
• Jobcomputer (for SafeTrack and AutoSectionControl functions)
• Flow transducer (on sprayer)
• Speed transducer (on sprayer or tractor)
The Controller has a four line display permitting much information to be shown at the same time. Display readout includes
volume rate, speed, liquid rate per minute, total covered area, total volume sprayed and 99 trip registers. It includes a total
register that summarizes data from the 98 trip registers. It is illuminated internally so readout is possible even for night-time
work.
If used on a mistblower, volume applied can also be set up as “Unit Canopy Row”. Tree width and height can be changed on
the go.
Functions include correct area with closure of up to 9 spray boom sections, alarm functions for volume rate, minimum tank
contents, speed min./max. and possibility for audio/visual alarm.
The Spray Box has integrated controls for the spray functions, foam marker, end nozzles and optional electric valves.
The transducers utilised are chosen for long service life and good signal quality. The speed and flow transducer has a diode
built into the housing to aid servicing. As the wheel or rotor turns, the diode will flash thereby indicating it function correctly.
The Controller is also compatible for Variable Rate Application and is prepared for communication with Precision Farming
tools.
Data dump of registers and configuration to a personal computer is possible.
The system has a non-volatile memory with no battery which simplifies storage. All parameters in the menus are saved in
the Controllers memory and are not lost when the power is disconnected.
The controller have been developed to last many years under agricultural conditions.
Optional transducers include pressure, revolutions, area meter and tank gauge. Other options include a 12 Volt printer and
a foot operated remote ON/OFF for the Main ON/OFF.
