Regulation Details Figure 1-12: Regulation Details
Regulation Details adjust the control of the regulation valve.
Minimum Regulation Pressure
Minimum Regulation Pressure establishes the minimum pressure. The working
pressure will not drop lower than this level, even if a lower pressure is required
by the regulation system (the controller). If the actual pressure on the sprayer
becomes lower than this value, the regulating system will continue to increase the
pressure until the minimum pressure level has been reached.
• To set the Minimum Regulation Pressure, use the number pad or slide bar.
Maximum Regulation Pressure
Maximum Regulation Pressure establishes the maximum pressure. The working
pressure will not rise higher than this level, even if a higher pressure can be
obtained by the regulation system (the controller). If the actual pressure on the
sprayer becomes higher than this value, the regulating system will continue to
decrease the pressure until the maximum pressure level has been reached.
• To set the Maximum Regulation Pressure, use the number pad or slide bar.
Regulation Valve Time
Regulation Valve Time establishes the time, in seconds, for the regulation valve to
go from fully closed to fully open (or vice versa).
• To set the Regulation Valve Time, use the number pad or slide bar.
NOTE: The time is determined by the type of regulation valve used and should be set to the recommendations included with the regulation
valve.
Minimum Regulation Voltage
Minimum Regulation Voltage establishes the lowest voltage at which the regulation valve will start to move. The controller uses variable
voltage to control the valve; the closer the actual rate is to the target rate, the lower the voltage sent to the valve is. The minimum voltage
must therefore be found when the valve is under pressure, as this affects the force required to move the valve.
• To set the Minimum Regulation Voltage, use the number pad or slide bar.
Regulation Dead Band
Regulation Dead Band establishes an acceptable regulation dead band in percent. Regulation will stop when the difference between the
target rate and the actual rate is lower than the entered dead band (percent of the target rate). This is to prevent the valve from oscillating
when the actual rate is near the target rate.
• To set the Regulation Dead Band, use the number pad or slide bar.
Regulation Backlash
Regulation Backlash establishes the time in seconds it takes before the valve starts moving after a direction change.
• To set the Regulation Backlash, use the number pad or slide bar.
Anticipation Factor
Anticipation Factor establishes the anticipation factor to ensure that the regulation valve is in a suitable position when switching the master
valve on (when turning at headland).
►0 = Off. The regulation valve remains stationary at the position when the main valve is switched off.
►100 = Full. The regulation valve will move completely to the calculated position.
The number of boom sections open, the target rate, the average forward speed, the regulation valve time and the maximum reg. valve
capacity are used to calculate a theoretical position of the regulation valve when the master valve is off (when turning at headland).
• To set the Anticipation Factor, use the number pad or slide bar.
Default Valve Position
Default Valve Position establishes the percentage value for the valve position.
• To set the Default Valve Position, use the number pad or slide bar.
Regulation Valve Capacity
Regulation Valve Capacity establishes the capacity of the regulation valve in volume per minute.
• To set the Regulation Valve Capacity, use the number pad or slide bar.

IC18 Sprayer/NH3 OEM options
Regulation Start Delay
Regulation Start Delay establishes the delay in seconds from when the main valve is switched on until regulation starts.
• To set the Regulation Start Delay, use the number pad or slide bar.
Minimum Speed
Minimum Speed establishes the forward speed at which the system should automatically switch the master valve off.
• To set the Minimum Speed, use the number pad or slide bar.
Manual Regulation Speed
Manual Regulation Speed establishes the percentage of the regulation valve controlling the speed at which the regulation valve should
move in manual operation mode.
• To set the Manual Regulation Speed, use the number pad or slide bar.
Restrictor Plate Flow (Sprayer Mode)
Restrictor Plate Flow establishes the capacity of the restrictor plate in volume per minute and is to be used when working with return ow
(circulation). Available only in Sprayer Mode.
• To set the Restrictor Plate Flow, use the number pad or slide bar.
Clear Total Counters Figure 1-13: Clear Total Counters - Sprayer Mode

CHANGES ON OPERATION SCREEN
The Operation Screen accesses the working aspects of the IC18 including boom section control, rate control and trip/count/
application information. When OEM options are turned on or off, different Operations screen options become available. This
chapter details these changes.

terminal being used.
LIQUID PRESSURE SENSOR ACTIVATED (NH3 MODE)
The following options will be made available when the Liquid Pressure Sensor is installed and turned on in the OEM setup menu while in
NH3 mode.

Application Rate Options
Target Rate Percentage Increase/Decrease Figure 1-17: Target Rate Percentage Increase/
Decrease
Target Rate Percentage Increase/Decrease Keys increase/decrease the
application target rate per the established percentage set in the Machine
Operation setup screen under Application Rate Step. Automatic regulation
mode will automatically adjust the application rate based on the current speed in
reference to the target rate. Preset Application Rates dene up to ve (5) target
rates of product being applied per hectare/acre. These can be toggled using the
Toggle Preset Target Rate Key on the Operation Screen or Home Screen.
• To adjust the Target Rate, press the BOOST/STEP % INCREASE/DECREASE
KEYS .
Target Rate
Preset Application Rates dene up to ve (5) target rates of product being applied
per hectare/acre. These settings will set the same for all active trips. Target rates
set to “0.0” will not be included in the toggle preset target rate options on the
Operation Screen or Home Screen.
If a switchbox is being used to control the boom sections, current target application
rate can be set on the Operation Screen.
When a switchbox is not connected to the system current target application rate
needs to be established on the Home Screen before entering Operation Mode.
