E15h SPRAYER
The EAGLE E15 Sprayer Console replaces the KEE Technologies Mk3 and Mk5 Spray
Controllers, which have been in the market for the past 25 years. The EAGLE is a
breakthrough replacement for the Mk5, with many more features at no extra cost. It
takes into account the current Mk5 operators, and the transition from the Mk5 to the
EAGLE is minimal, to the point where it is fully compatible with all Mk5 hardware. It is as
simple as swapping the consoles!
The development of the EAGLE has been totally driven by input and suggestions from
farmers and contractors from around the world, making the EAGLE the most advanced
Spray Rate Controller in the world.
The KEE Eagle Horticultural console is a dedicated horticultural sprayer console
developed specifically for the horticultural market.
The Eagle has many new features and easy operation, that has leap-frogged the current
competition which is a considerable bonus to the end user. Including all the features of
its predecessor, the MK5, the EAGLE has four sections, separately indicated section
switches, can display in volume/area or volume/distance, can connect to 2 section, 3
section (3L or 3R) and 4 section sprayers.
The E15h console can monitor 1 to 2 fans. If the optional FAN MONITOR ECU is used
then up to 12 Fans can be monitored and each Fans RPM can be displayed.
The Data Logger (optional) can be connected to the E15h console to set the application
rate for up to 9 jobs and create job sheets for each job; then the Data Logger will record
application rate, which sections where switched ON/OFF, pressure, speed etc to a
Module. The Module can be taken back to the office and create records of jobs done;
graphs can then be created using the Data Logger software.
New features include the all screen display that allows viewing of all the sprayer
functions at a glance, backlight control keys and positive sectional switches.
