Menu 3.5 Tank gauge
This menu for setting specific gravity for spray fluid or fertilizer. Also
setup of the TankGauge is done here.
μ
ATTENTION! For increased accuracy it is recommended to
do the flow calibration (menu 3.2) before proceeding.
÷
NOTE! This menu item is only present if the HARDI
TankGauge is fitted.
Menu 3.5.1 Adjustment of specific gravity
The correction factor for the specific gravity of the liquid sprayed
can be set.
Default value is 1.00 kg/litre.
For liquid fertilisers, the specific gravity may range up to 1.3 kg/litre.
The value in this case would be 1.30 kg/litre.
÷
NOTE! Remember to set type of nozzle to be used in menu
[3.4.5 Type of nozzle].
÷
NOTE! When set, the nozzle output can be checked by
monitoring menu [3.4.3 Nozzle size flow at 3 bar] while
spraying.
Procedure
1. Set specific gravity.
2. Press to confirm.
Menu 3.5.2 Calibration of Tank gauge
Calibration of the HARDI TankGauge is necessary if the factory
calibration shows inaccurate. E.g. a different placed hitch point on
the tractor or other tyre mounting may result an inaccurate
calculation of the tank contents.
Therefore, it is recommended to custom calibrate with the sprayer
attached to the tractor that will be used for spraying, noting that
later changes of tractor can affect the accuracy of the TankGauge.
Refer to “Custom Calibration of TankGauge” on page 73 for
calibration procedure.
