WARNING
This signal word identifies medium-risk hazards, which could potentially cause
death or serious physical injury, if not avoided.
CAUTION
This signal word identifies low-risk hazards, which could potentially cause minor
or moderate physical injury or damage to property, if not avoided.
NOTICE
This signal word identifies actions which could lead to operational malfunctions if
performed incorrectly.
These actions require that you operate in a precise and cautious manner in order to
produce optimum work results.
There are some actions that need to be performed in several steps. If there is a risk
involved in carrying out any of these steps, a safety warning will appear in the
instructions themselves.
Safety instructions always directly precede the step involving risk and can be identified by
their bold font type and a signal word.

5PARAMETER SETTINGS - PROGRAMMING
The use of the screen allows you to control the spray regulation completely. The main menu of
the AG-TRONIK screen is presented in the picture below (Figure 10).
Figure 10
5.1. Filling the Tank
•At each filling of the tank, it is recommended to input the current amount of chemical product in
to the AG-TRONIK.
•If we don’t input initial quantity of the chemical preparation in to AG-TRONIK or the tank is
empty, the display of the reservoir on AG-TRONIK flashes red.
•Enter the current amount of the chemical preparation by pressing icon on main menu
(Figure 10), then press the field marked with the arrow and, finally, enter the filled or initial
quantity added to the reservoir (Figure 11).
Figure 11
•Confirm the entry of a new amount of chemical preparation by pressing icon.

AG-TRONIK

5.2. Hectare Dose (HD)
•HD is the basic parameter, which must be set before spraying.
•Enter in the HD input sub window by pressing icon.
•The HD input subwindow where desired HD is entered (Figure 12).
Figure 12
•Confirm the HD by pressing icon.
•HD can also be set by pressing icon on main menu (Figure 10), and then icon.
•AG-TRONIK at the same time, when we adjust HD with pressing and icons,
calculates what area and distance can still be sprayed, depending on the amount of chemical
preparation in the tank (Figure 13).
•HD can be adjusted so that the entire amount of the chemical preparation is used to treat the
field, or HD is set so that we don’t run out of the chemical preparation in the end of treatment.
Figure 13

5.3. Speed Constant (SC)
•WARNING! If an antenna or GPS is used, the speed constant is not corrected !
•Correction of the speed constant can be done only if the wheel speed sensor is used!
•WARNING! Speed correction can not be made when driving below 4km / h.
The correction of the speed constant can be done in two ways: the automatic correction of the
speed constant (5.3.1) and the manual / direct correction of the speed constant (5.3.2).
5.3.1. Automatic Correction of SC
•The automatic correction of SC is executed by comparing the speed shown by the AG-TRONIK
with the speed (reference / actual) on the tractor speed meter or the precise GPS device.
•If the reference speed and velocity on AG-TRONIK are different, press icon, and
enter the reference speed in to velocity input subwindow (Figure 14).
Figure 14
•Confirm SC correction by pressing a icon.

AG-TRONIK

5.3.2. Manual Correction of SC
•Manual correction of SC is executed by pressing a icon and by entering the
desired SC in to input subwindow (Figure 15).
Figure 15
•SC may be calcualted by using equation stated below (𝑆𝐶 = 𝑁 ×500
𝑟 × 𝜋
Equation 1)
𝑆𝐶 = 𝑁 ×500
𝑟 × 𝜋 Equation 1
N … quantity of marks
r … wheel radius
Figure 16
•Confirm SC by pressing a icon.
