FAMILIARIZATION

4OPERATOR CONTROLS This machine is equipped with Accuflow as the standard variable flow control device. If your machine is equipped with some other variable flow control device, refer to that device documentation for further information.

The above illustration shows the (standard) operator control pendant of the Accuflow variable flow control system and how it interfaces with the Guardian 190 SS sprayer. Other variable flow systems are offered by ADAPCO or an authorized variable flow reseller. The control functions of the Accuflow control pendant are as follows:

16

1. Power switch when asserted (turned on) applies power to the control pendant as well as provides operating power to the Accuflow variable flow control module and sends a control voltage to a power relay on the ULV sprayer.

2. RED LED (Light Emitting Diode) when illuminated implies the power switch has been turned on and ready to receive commands.

3. Engine on-off-start switch is a 3 position switch that controls the status of the sprayer’s engine. When in the OFF position, sends a control voltage to the relay beside the engine. When this relay is energized, the engines ignition system is shorted to Ground and the engine will die. When in the ON position, the engine is ready to run and the ignition is ready. The START position is a spring loaded momentary switch that engages the engines starter motor and will continue to engage the starter until the engine is started or the switch is released.

4. Choke switch- is a spring loaded 3-position toggle switch which when engaged in the upward position sends a control signal to electrically choke the engine by engaging the Linear motor to extend to correct choke position at the carburetor. When released, the switch will return to the center position and the control signal is removed. The spring loaded downward position is inactive.

5. Mode switch- selects either the variable flow mode or the manual “fixed flow” mode. The variable flow mode controls the pump proportionate to how fast the vehicle is traveling while spraying. A manual fixed flow mode maintains the pump at a fixed rate at all times while spraying.

6. Yellow LED when illuminated indicated the MANUAL mode is selected; the LED is off for variable flow.

7. Spray on/off switch turns the insecticide pump on and off when this switch is asserted. If the sprayer is running (engine on) and the spray switch is asserted, the pump will begin to run at a calibrated rate. If the engine is not running and the toggle switch on the pump electronic enclosure labeled “Pressure Switch” is in the down position, the pump will not run when the spray switch is turned on. Additionally, the Spray on/off switch when asserted applies a control voltage to the linear motor controlling the throttle position increasing engine RPM to a preset (mechanical) position. When the Spray switch is turned off, the engine slows to an idle speed.

8. Green LED when illuminated implies the pump switch is in the ON position and if the sprayer is running, the pump will run and insecticide or flush solution will flow through the sprayer to be atomized.

9. Flush switch when in the ON position sends a control voltage to the 3-way electric solenoid valve which is connected to both the flush tank and the main formulation tank. Selecting the FLUSH position selects the contents of the flush tank to be pumped

17

through the insecticide pump when the spray switch is turned on. In the Normal position, the formulation tank is selected by default.

10. Located in the center of the switch pad on the Remote Pendant, is a small bright blue LED (Light Emitting Diode) which illuminates at a series of frequencies that indicate the following status:

a. One blink per two seconds- indicates to the operator that the system micro-processor is up and running but has not yet received GPS data. This blue LED frequency should only last a few seconds during power up. If this frequency continues or is seen during normal operation, this indicates the GPS receiver has failed.

b. One blink per second- indicates to the operator that the Micro-processor is up, GPS is being received but the data is invalid. GPS data can be received from the receiver in both valid and invalid types. A single field in the GPS data stream indicates the validity of the data. Invalid data is not used in the variable flow algorithm.

c. Two blinks per second- indicates to the operator that the Micro-processor is up and running and valid GPS data is being received. This is the illuminating frequency to look for in normal operation and is most commonly referred to as the “heartbeat”.

AIR PRESSURE GAUGE The air pressure gauge is a glycerin filled type with a pressure range from 0-15 psig. When the engine is running and throttle adjusted to the desired engine RPM, atomization nozzle back pressure is most often the overriding factor in assuring correct atomization of a given flow rate or range of flow rate. Back pressure is measured from a fitting on the blower discharge air duct through a short flexible hose to the gauge.

PRESSURE SWITCH A pressure switch is located on the back side of the pressure gauge. The purpose of this pressure switch is to ensure the insecticide pump cannot be inadvertently turned on without sufficient air pressure. If this was to occur, the pressure switch does not allow the circuit to “make” thus the insecticide pump will not run. The pressure switch can be overridden by asserting the toggle switch on the electronic control enclosure (toggle up) allowing the pump to run regardless if back pressure is present or not.

FORMULATION FILTER Product to be atomized through this ULV sprayer must be filtered before it is drawn through the insecticide pump to ensure uniform fluid consistencies and prevent contamination and potential particulate damage. The glass filled polypropylene suction foot filter assembly with

18

stainless steel 80 mesh screen is located inside the formulation tank on the bottom of the stainless steel draw tube. Check this filter often or no less than once per hundred hours of operation. If you find that the filter is collecting more and more contaminants, consider cleaning and flushing the formulation tank more often

FORMULATION TANK 22 U.S. gallons (83.3 liters), 20 gallon recommended, is the capacity of the formulation tank included with this ULV sprayer. The black cross linked polyethylene tank is suitable for all known products used in Vector control and has a 1” NPT drain plug in the bottom sump. Additionally, the formulation tank is supplied standard with a locking cap for security concerns (pad lock not included). This formulation tank is also equipped with a sensor for detecting fluid levels within the tank and is connected electrically to the gauges on the machines rear panel as well as can be displayed on some variable flow controller operator interfaces.

Note: Use only products specifically intended for ULV use as outlined on the product label.

FUEL TANK 8.3 U.S. Gallons (31.4 liters) is the capacity of the fuel tank on the 190SS ULV sprayer. The fuel tank is made from red, cross linked polyethylene and supports a fuel volume sensor that is tied electrically to the fuel gauge on the rear of the machine. A petcock valve is located on the bottom of the tank and is commonly used to shut off fuel for prolonged periods on non use or storage. The fuel tank is vented through the cap.

INSECTICIDE PUMP The standard pump supplied with this sprayer is an FMI (Fluid Metering Inc.) metering pump coupled to a 12-volt DC electric motor however; ADAPCO’s MFC gear pump is also available. The FMI piston pump is driven by a pulse width modulated control signal to a maximum of 8-volts as recommended by the pump manufacture. Because of the metering properties of this insecticide pump, regulating the power and monitoring the RPM’s of the motor ensures a steady and repeatable flow throughout the calibrated range regardless of possible fluctuations in input power. This standard pump configuration is consider a “variable” flow method as the amount of product pumped through the system and to the atomization nozzle is proportionate to the speed of the vehicle installed on within the preprogrammed parameters. Manual or “fixed” flow modes are also selectable and will maintain the flow through the pump at a preselected and steady rate. FMI flow rate using the standard 3/8” diameter piston are up to 18 oz. (534 ml) per minute.

19

MFC gear pumps are controlled by use of an analog control signal with an RPM feedback loop similar to the FMI. The gear pump is linear and flow is pulse free not requiring a dampening device and support flow rates up to approximately 24 oz. (713 ml) per minute.

PULSE DAMPENER The FMI pump insecticide metering pump is a “piston” type pump that has 2 variables associated with controlling flow. The RPM of the DC motor is a variable that is controlled through the variable flow electronics; the second variable being the angle of the piston itself. Generally speaking, the greater the piston angle (away from the centerline of the pump), the greater the pulsations that are generated with each and every pump revolution. For optimal atomization results, a smooth even linear flow is desired through the nozzle. The pulse dampener very simply traps air within, and this air acts to absorb the pulsations producing a smoother flow to the atomization nozzle.

FLUSH TANK AND VALVE Some formulations are best not left inside the pump and valves for prolonged period of non-use due to corrosion and formulation thickening. To clean the insecticide pump and valve, a flushing solution is pumped through both the 3-way valve and pump and atomized through the nozzle to clear away residuals remaining inside. A 1.5 Quart flush solution tank is located above the formulation tank under the top cover but the cap accessible from above; ensure it is filled with a flushing solution before use if flushing is desired. Not all formulations require flushing.

To flush out the spray system after use, with the engine running, assert the toggle switch (lower right) on the operator’s control pendant to the FLUSH position. Turn the spray switch to the ON position. Flushing solution will begin atomization through the sprayer. Turn the spray switch to the OFF position after the operator is satisfied that sufficient time has elapsed to clean out the fluid system. Turn the Flush switch back to NORMAL.

ATOMIZATION NOZZLE The atomization nozzle is designed to efficiently and effectively atomize various oil and water based formulations to micron diameter droplet sizes as outlined on the specific formulation label. Keep the nozzle clean and free from dings and dents to maintain perfect concentric alignment of the main body and the nozzle cone. Formulation is fed through the rear of the nozzle by way of a stainless steel tube exiting from the closest 45° elbow to the nozzle. The nozzle swivels 360° horizontally and 180° vertically to position the nozzle at the desired attitude. The most common nozzle position is pointed directly toward the back with an upward 45° degree attitude.

INSTALLATION

COLD FOG GENERATOR (ULV SPRAYER) CONTENTS The ULV sprayer is packaged in a corrugated box that protects the machine from damage in shipping and storage and is strapped to a wooden pallet for easy lifting by a pallet jack or fork lift. The shipping pallet is not meant nor recommended to be used for permanent or semi-permanent installation on vehicle or trailer. The shipping box and pallet may be retained for storage if desired. Enclosed in this shipping box are the following:

The shipping package contains the Guardian 190SS ULV sprayer and variable flow control device.

FACTORY FLUID LEVELS When you receive your Guardian ULV sprayer, the fluid levels will be as follows:

Engine oil full

Blower oil full Fuel tank empty Formulation tank empty Each machine is fully tested functionally and appropriate fluid levels are services beforehand. Additionally, each machine’s atomization nozzle is fully tested, the results documented and maintained by the manufacturer.

VEHICLE INSTALLATION 1. Remove the packaging box by cutting and disposing of the strapping material. With a

fork lift or hoist, lift the machine and remove the pallet and wooden runners from the sprayer.

2. Place the sprayer onto the vehicle or trailer with the engine facing forward and the “gauge” end of the sprayer to the rear of the vehicle. The Guardian 190SS is designed to fit between the wheel wells of most small trucks. If placing onto a pickup truck, ensure the tail gate will close if desired.

Note: ADAPCO is not responsible for mounting and securing the Guardian ULV sprayers onto a vehicle; it is the responsibility of the owner or end user to do so. ADAPCO will only make

21

3. Secure the ULV sprayer to the vehicle or trailer. If electing to bolt the sprayer to the vehicle or trailer, the recommended hardware is: (SS = Stainless Steel)

a. ½”-13 bolts Grade 8 (18-8 SS or better) length as required 4 ea. b. ½” flat washer (18-8 SS or better) top side 4 ea. c. ½” over sized flat washer (18-8 SS or better) bottom side 4 ea. d. ½” lock nut or lock washer with nut (18-8 SS or better) 4 ea.

After mounting the spray in the vehicle, removing it for any reason is easily accomplished by removing the 4 ½” bolts on the vertical leg of the anchor brackets and lifting the machine out.

4. Loosen the 2 T-handle knobs on the Nozzle tube and adjust the nozzle vertically and

horizontally to the desired position then retighten the T-handle knobs to secure.

5. Place an automotive type battery preferably with side screw terminals (example- Interstate MT-75) and with at least 650 cold cranking amps into the battery tray and secure the battery with the hold down bracket supplied. Top post terminal batteries of equal specifications are also appropriate but provide less clearance for making cable attachments. Attach the RED cable to the batteries (+) positive post first, then connect the BLACK cable to the batteries (-) negative post last to reduce the potential for arching.

6. Refer to the Variable flow control (Accuflow or Monitor) for the installation procedures for the appropriate control device you’re using. Complete the controller installation before continuing.

7. To extend the Variable flow control cable from the front of the vehicle to the back often requires an access hole to make this possible. Many vehicles have just such existing holes or access panels on the underside often in the rear floor panel or lower rear bulkhead of a pick-up truck. If your vehicle does not have such an access hole, you will need to drill or punch a 1 inch hole for clearance of the control cable connector. If a more temporary installation is desired, you may pass the cable through a window opening.

22

8. Route the control cable through the access hole and either through or over the bed rail if applicable, back to the ULV sprayer and attach the 4-pin circular connector to the corresponding bulkhead connector at the machines lower left rear.

9. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline of not less than 87 octane. ALWAYS take precautions when filling the machine with fuel. NEVER fuel the machine while running and ALWAYS wait for a hot machine to cool before fueling.

ENGINE STARTING The Guardian 190 SS has a 19 hp Kawasaki engine that is equipped with electrical starting only and has no key switch on the engine. Remote starting of the engine is performed by using the Operator’s Control Pendant or interface.

When the engine is cold, the automatic choke will be required to start the engine. After the engine is warm, the choke should not be required in most cases.

Remote Start

1. First open the fuel petcock valve on the bottom of the fuel tank (unscrew counterclockwise).

2. On the control pendant or operator interface, turn the Power toggle switch to the ON position illuminating the red Power LED on the pendant. Next, flip the Engine start toggle switch to the ON (middle) position.

3. Next move the engine switch to the ON (center) position. This position breaks the ignition electrical path to Ground and allows spark at the spark plug when the engine is turning over.

4. On the remote pendant press the Engine toggle switch farther to the spring loaded START position engaging the electrical starter until the engine fires.

5. Simultaneously press upward on the Engine CHOKE toggle switch to aid in cold starting the engine, remove pressure from the choke and start switch when the engine has started.

23

6. To stop the engine, place the Engine toggle switch to the OFF position.

Note: DO NOT hold the starter switch in the on position for long stints while trying to start the engine; make short attempts to start and use the automatic choke as required. Prolonged starting may cause damage to the electric starter motor and place a tremendous demand on the battery.

MAINTENANCE

CHECKING ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL 1. The engine oil level should be checked after every 8 hours of operation or daily as

instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual furnished with this machine. 2. Unlatch the fuel tank hinged cradle and lift and prop in place with the latch/prop linkage

to expose the engine from above. 3. Level the machine and clean around oil dipstick before removing it. 4. Remove the oil dipstick and wipe it clean with a cloth. 5. Insert the dipstick back into the gauge hole and let it seat fully down, then remove the

dipstick and check the oil level. 6. The oil level should be between the “H” and “L” marks on the dipstick. 7. Add engine oil by removing the engine oil cap as required to maintain a level between

the H and L marks, refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for viscosities according to geographic temperature ranges. Note: do not overfill!

CHANGING ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL 1. After the first 8 hours of operation, change the engine crankcase oil. Thereafter, change

the engine crankcase oil every 100 hours of operation or annually whichever occurs first. 2. With engine off and preferably warm but not hot enough to cause

a burn, slide a shallow oil catch pan under the oil drain plug. Loosen and remove the engine oil cap and dipstick and set aside. Place a short section of hose on the drain fitting located on the lower left side of the engine. Loosen the oil drain screw on this fitting and allow the crankcase oil to drain into the pan below until the flow of oil has stopped. Warm oil will drain more freely and completely.

3. Tighten the oil drain screw securely but do not over tighten and remove the short piece of hose.

24

4. Fill the engine crankcase with fresh engine oil; refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for proper viscosities according to geographic temperature ranges.

5. Check and verify the engine oil level to be between the “H” and “L” marks on the dipstick with the engine level as described in the Engine Owner’s manual and the preceding section. Note: Do not overfill!

ENGINE AIR CLEANER For any air cleaner, the operating environment dictates how often the air cleaner should be serviced. Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for Instructions

CAUTION- To prevent excessive engine wear, do not run the engine with the air filter removed

WARNING- DO NOT use gasoline or low flash point solvents to clean the air filter

BLOWER LUBRICATION DRIVE END LUBRICATION- drive end bearings are grease lubricated at the factory with Lithium Complex based grease. For re-lubrication, use Gardner Denver AEO PD Grease, Part number 28H283. AEON PD grease is a high temperature, high performance grease that is formulated with anti-wear additives to provide superior service under severe operating conditions. It contains rust inhibitors which provide excellent protection against corrosion.

If you choose not to use AEON PD grease, select compatible grease with NLGI Grade 2 EP, contain rust inhibitors, and be suitable of blower discharge temperatures up to 350°F (177°C).

GEAR END LUBRICATION- The timing gear teeth are lubricated by being partially submerged in oil. The gear teeth serve as oil slingers for gear end bearings. The factory recommended lubricant is AEON PD Synthetic Lubricant which is formulated especially for positive displacement blowers to provide maximum protection at any temperature. AEON PD Synthetic lubricant last a minimum of 4X longer than a premium mineral oil, depending on actual operating conditions. This Gardner Denver 4MP blower oil capacity is approximately 2/3 PT.

A clear sight gauge or window is located on the blower indicating lubrication oil level. Ensure the oil level is maintained in the middle of the sight gage.

CLEANING THE MACHINE

• Keeping this ULV machine clean is paramount in maintaining a well running and efficient ULV sprayer.

• Washing this machine after each use is highly recommended.

• Use warm water and general duty cleaners. Pressure washing is not recommended!

• DO NOT spray electrical components directly.

BELT TENSION Correct belt tension and alignment is essential for proper operation and longevity of this ULV sprayer. To adjust belt tension, turn the ½” hex head bolt on the machines right side next to the blower air intake clockwise to tighten. The 190SS model incorporates an idler pulley and bearing to provide tension on the drive belt since both the engine and blower are mounted in a fixed position. Remove the screws on the access panel located on the left side of the belt guard. Adjust the belt and check for proper tension through this access hole. When adjusting the belt tension, ensure the alignment is maintained if the

engine and or blower are ever loosened from their original mounting position. Use a straight edge across the face of the blower pulley and align the engine’s pulley and idler pulley faces with it before securing the engine mounting bolts.

An over-tightened drive belt can cause excessive pulley wear, shorten the belt’s life and place too much strain on bearing surfaces of the devices being driven. Conversely, a belt too loose allows slippage and under performance of the machine. The best method for setting the proper tension is the “Deflection” method. A good rule of thumb is 1/64” of deflection for every inch between the pulley centers. In the case of the Guardian 190SS, the center to center dimension is approximately 12” thereby calculating a deflection of .187” or approximately 3/16” deflection.

26

1/64 per inchcenter to center

12"

12/64 = .187" of DeflectionTypical and may vary with belt wear

In the final analysis, the correct belt tension is just enough tension to keep the belt from slipping under normal load conditions.

CALIBRATION There are two types of calibrations that are commonly performed to ensure proper parameters are being maintained for both formulation FLOW and atomization DROPLET spectrums. Perform these calibrations in the order outlined in this manual.

FLOW CALIBRATION The Calibration procedures for the Accuflow on Guardian are very easy compared to other variable flow calibrations and should only take a few minutes to complete. Please understand as the end user, the Accuflow is a computer which is only as accurate as the data you enter.

Calibrating the insecticide pump on the 190SS is essential to applying the proper dosage of chemical or insecticide calculated for the speed of the vehicle across the ground as well as a fixed rate. Complete the following steps in order to calibrate the insecticide pump:

Materials Required for Calibration

1. Handheld terminal emulator supplied by ADAPCO or Laptop PC (Contact ADAPCO for cable when using a PC (not supplied)

2. A clean catch pan or container 3. Graduated cylinder or measuring cup 4. Calculator or Conversion table located below 5. Stop watch or watch with second hand

Follow the steps carefully to set flow calibrations. See step 1 if using a laptop computer, Go directly to step 1A if using the handheld terminal emulator.

Note: The pump should run throughout the calibration process.

1. Laptop computer (PC) setup for windows 98/2000/XP/Vista

With the PC booted up to the desktop, initiate a HyperTerminal session by following these steps.

• Start>, Programs>, Accessories>, Communications>, HyperTerminal, a connection description dialog box will appear.

• Enter a name such as “Accuflow Calibration” for example. • Select an icon from the list at the bottom of the dialog box and click “OK”. • A Connect to dialog box will appear. The bottom pull down should be set to “Direct to

com1” if your computer will be using the com1 port. If more than one com port on your computer, select the appropriate port on the pull down. Then select OK.

• Com1 properties (or other com properties from previous step) dialog box will appear. Using the pull downs, set up this dialog box as follows:

* Bits per second: 38400

* Data bits: 8

* Parity: None

* Stop bits: 1

* Flow control: None

• Press OK. • This opens the HyperTerminal blank window with the session name and HyperTerminal

at the upper left. A normal windows tool bar with FILE, EDIT, VIEW, CALL, TRANSFER, and HELP are available.

1A. Handheld Terminal Emulator- Connect the cable supplied with the handheld terminal to the corresponding DB9 connector on the Accuflow control module. This cable has a 12-volt power accessory adapter, plug this power plug into the vehicle’s accessory port or cigarette lighter. Lastly, connect the corresponding round connector to the bottom of the handheld terminal. Apply power to the Accuflow system by turning on “PWR” switch on remote pendant. Within a few seconds the Accuflow II internal computer will boot up and reply the following on the handheld terminal: (skip past step 2 to view)

2. Connect the null modem serial cable from the PC or handheld terminal emulator to the DB9 CAL/ENG port on the Accuflow Control Module. Start the spray vehicle and turn power “ON” at the Remote Pendant. Within a few seconds the Accuflow II internal computer will boot up and reply the following on the PC.

ADAPCO ACCUFLOW

(1) : calibrate end to end (2) : setup speeds (3) : setup manual flow (4) :display cal matrix (5) :set emerg pps in remote (6) :setup throttle_up (valve)

PRESS CHOICE KEY (no enter)_

3. Disconnect the chemical line from the sprayer nozzle and place into a clean catch container.

4. On the pump control interface, find the switch labeled “Pressure Switch” and place in the override position. This fools the system that blower pressure is present and when commanded, the pump will run. Without this switch in the override position during calibration, the pump will not run!

5. On the Remote Pendant, turn SPRAY ON. Note the MANUAL LED must not be lit. 6. On the PC or handheld terminal emulator select “1” for calibrate end to end. Note: The

pump will begin to run at a high rate and will remain on throughout the pump calibration. The PC or handheld terminal will read:

31

Pump at pwm=160 Adj pump angle & measure flow SPRAY SWITCH MUST BE ON MUST BE <AUTO> MODE Hit any key when ok:_

7. On the ULV sprayer, measure in a graduated cylinder or measuring cup the chemical flow for one minute. Note: Chemical flow should measure no less than the highest desired flow rate or 1 to 1.5 ounces higher.

Loosen the thumb wheels and adjust the piston angle on the FMI pump until reaching the desired flow rate and then tighten the thumb wheels to hold the pump head assembly in place. To increase the desired flow, turn the knob moving the arrow on the pump base away from the centerline or 0. To decrease flow, just the opposite of moving the arrow closer to 0 is required. The direction left or right from 0 is dependant only on which port of the pump is used as an inlet.

The FMI pumps piston always rotates in the same direction however, either port can be used as the input depending on which side of the “0” (center) position is desired.

Example- Fig. A represents the piston adjusted to the left of center therefore; the direction of flow is to the left as visualized from above. Conversely, Fig. B indicates adjustment to the right of center and the flow direction is to the right.

Note: It is not necessary to “dial” in the pump exactly, remember, there is 1 to 1.5 ounces of tolerance. Do not confuse tolerance with accuracy.

FIG. A FIG. B

8. Once the desired high flow rate calibration is reached, enter that exact measured value. If you didn’t “hit any key” from step 4 do so now. The PC will read: Oz/min? : XX.X_

Use the back space key on the PC key board or the backwards arrow on the * key to make any corrections to the existing number then press ‘Enter’. The PC will then read:

Measuring pulses for 6 sec Df: X

Pps_at_high as float: X.X New pps_at_high:XXX New float_at_highX10: XXX Pump set at pwm=90 Measure flow & record

Hit <anykey> when ok:_ 9. The Accuflow II control module will automatically slow the pump to an approximate

“mid” rate. Measure the chemical “mid flow” rate for 1 minute. On the PC, press any key if you did not already from the end of step 6. The PC or handheld terminal will read: Oz/mon?:XX.X_

Use the back space key on the PC key board to make any corrections to the existing number then press ‘Enter’. The PC will then read:

Measuring pulses for 6 sec Df: X

Pps_at_high as float: X.X New pps_at_high:XXX New float_at_highX10: XXX Pump set at pwm=30 Measure flow & record

Hit <anykey> when ok:_ Oz/mon?:XX.X_

10. The Accuflow II control module will automatically reduce the pump speed to a low rate. Measure the chemical “low flow” rate for 1 minute. On the PC, press any key if you did not already from the end of step 7. The PC or handheld terminal will read: Use the back space key on the PC key board to make any corrections to the existing number then press ‘Enter’. The PC will then read:

33

Measuring pulses for 6 sec Df: X Pps_at_high as float: X.X New pps_at_high:XXX New float_at_highX10: XXX At this point, after the control module has monitored the pulse frequency from the pump for 6 seconds, the pump will automatically shut off and the PC or handheld terminal will read: Speed low cutoff X_

Refer to the next step below “Setup Speeds” when calibrating end to end.

SETUP SPEEDS This calibration sets the spray speeds, desired flows and alarms.

1. On the PC select “2” for setup speeds unless currently at this point in previous step. Each entry will move to the next in succession.

2. Speed low cutoff: 5 This number should reflect the lowest speed the vehicle will travel while still maintaining flow. 5 mph is very typical but this field can be whatever is desired down to 1 mph. Use the back space key if you wish to change the character displayed. If the number present is ok, press enter.

3. Desired flow at that speed: 02.0 This number is the amount of chemical or flow you wish to have at the low cut off speed. For example, if you want 2 ounces of flow at the low spray speed of 5 mph, then enter 02.0 or 2.0.

4. Speed low alarm: 0 This field represents the speed of the vehicle if a low alarm is desired. In many cases, low alarms are not required and are left at 0 mph. If a low speed alarm is desired, enter that number here.

5. Speed high cutoff: 20 This number is the highest vehicle speed desired for spraying. 20 mph is again very typical but as in step 1, this field is fully user defined. Enter that number now or press enter if the number present is acceptable.

6. Desired flow at that speed: 08.0 This number describes the maximum amount of chemical desired from the previous step 5.

7. Speed high alarm: If you wish to hear an audible alarm when at a certain speed possibly before reaching the maximum spray speed or when reaching the maximum spray speed, enter that number here.

8. After entering the speed high alarm, the PC will display the setup speeds you just entered in previous 7 steps. Verify that all settings are correct. If not, select #2 from the menu and repeat each step in the setup until the correction has been made.

34

SETUP MANUAL FLOW This sets the desired fixed manual flow. Anytime the Manual key is pressed on the Remote Pendant, the Control Module will hold the flow at the Manual flow setting.

1. On the PC, select “3” for Setup manual flow. 2. Desired flow for manual operation: 04.0 use the backspace on the PC to change the

manual setting as desired or press enter if current flow rate is acceptable.

The PC or handheld terminal will begin again at the menu page

DISPLAY CAL MATRIX On the PC, press “4” for cal matrix. This matrix shows the speed and flow Parameters previously entered from resent or last calibration. While this matrix depicts each whole number of speed, the control algorithm of the pump is based on a much higher degree of GPS speed accuracy. If any of these data fields are incorrect, simply press #2 on the main menu and correct the field in question. If the data field is already correct, press enter on the PC or handheld and the program will tab to the next data field without changing the current value. Below is an example of Cal Matrix display and any numbers entered in any field below are for example only:

SETUP THROTTLE UP- SPRAY Not applicable for the Guardian 190 SS ULV Sprayer

When calibration is complete with either PC or handheld terminal, turn off the Accuflow power switch on remote pendant and disconnect calibration cable from the Control Module and power source.

DROPLET SPECTRUM CALIBRATION Different countries and/or regions of the world may have stringent procedures or regulatory protocols for the atomization of insecticides. Adhere to these restrictions and follow the guidelines set forth on products used through this machine where required.

There are various ways to measure droplet sizes produced from this machine. Refer to the guidelines of the regulatory agency in your area for recommendations and types of acceptable methods.

Droplet calibration is accomplished by setting the engine RPM to produce a specific atomization nozzle back pressure as viewed on the air pressure gauge. An increase in engine RPM produces an increase in nozzle back pressure. Use the method for measuring droplet diameters based on the calibrated flow rate of the insecticide pump and adjust the throttle and pressure as required to meet the specific product guidelines.

THROTTLE CAL INCREASE and THROTTLE CAL DECREASE momentary switches are located on the 190SS electronic control enclosure. With the Engine running, press and hold either switch and the engine RPM will follow the command. The Red switch labeled throttle CAL increase is used to increase engine RPM, the black switch labeled throttle CAL decrease slows the engine RPM. Once the switch is released, the electronics will store away the desired throttle position so that each time the sprayer is started from then on, the same position of the throttle will occur.

Note: Different formulations, different viscosities, and different flow rates all require a specific nozzle back pressure to atomize to a desired size.
