WIRING HARNESS ORIENTATION
Wiring with multiple branches MUST be installed so that the individual wires point downward, as shown on right below.
This will protect the internal connections from exposure to liquid chemicals.
Installation
Console Mounting - Power Connection - Section Wiring
Select a mounting location that is practical and convenient. It should
be easy to reach and highly visible to the operator. DO NOT INSTALL IN
A POSITION THAT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE WORKING AREA.
Whenever possible, avoid locations that expose the console to direct
sunlight, high temperature, strong chemicals or rain.
Place the mounting bracket in the selected location, mark holes, drill
¼” (7mm) holes and mount bracket with bolts, lock washers and nuts
provided. (Use self-tapping screws if not practical to use bolts.)
Position the console bracket inside the mounting bracket and fasten with
wingnut. Install the console knobs through the bracket, placing a rubber
washer over the threaded stud. Position console to proper viewing angle
and tighten the knobs securely.
This section explains how to connect the Spraymate XRS controller to a 12VDC power connection and wiring information
about section shut-off valve connections. The Spraymate XRS controller must be connected to a 12VDC negative ground
electrical system.
ROUTING HARNESS AND CABLING
Avoid areas where the cable may be subjected to abrasion or
excessive heat.

FLUSH TIME
FLUSH DELAY TIME
Location: PAGE 4 - PRESSURE
Description: When Multifunction output is set to FLUSH,
this enables and adjusts a time delay from the RUN/HOLD
transition to the start of the Flush cycle. This can be set to OFF
(0) or from 1-6 seconds. Default: 0
FLUSH TIME
Location: PAGE 4 - SPEED
Description: When Multifunction output is set to FLUSH, this
enables and adjusts the duration of the Flush cycle. This can
be set to OFF (0) or from 1-12 seconds. Default: 0
MULTIFUNCTION FLOW TRIG. THRESHOLD
Location: PAGE 4 - AREA
Description: When Multifunction output is set to Fixed Flow
Trigger (F-FLO) or Proportional Flow Trigger (P-FLO), this
adjusts the threshold value in Volume/Minute for activating
the voltage output. The output will turn off if Volume/
Minute is reduced to 95% of the threshold value. This fixed
margin is maintained to reduce on/off cycling if system is
operating at or near threshold setting.
F-FLO: Threshold value turns on power to Multifunction
output based on the fixed total flow rate, regardless of
active width.
P-FLO: Threshold value turns on power to Multifunction
output based on flow rate, proportional to active width.
Example: If the threshold is set to 10gpm while running only
2 out of 5 sections, the trigger would start output at 4gpm -
(2/5 X 10).
Default: 15.0 gpm
MULTIFUNCTION OUTPUT
Location: PAGE 4 - DISTANCE
Description: Selects mode of 12VDC power sent to
Multifunction Output connection on branch harness.
Default setting this function is Master.
1. OFF = Always off
2. ON = Always on
3. RELIEF VALVE = On in Hold
4. MASTER = On in Run and at least 1 section on
(Note: there is a 1/2 second delay switching from HOLD to RUN)
5. FLUSH = Enables Flush cycle to purge chemicals from
lines when switching from Run to Hold - see below
6. F-FLO = Fixed Flow Trigger - see above
7. P-FLO = Proportional Flow Trigger- see above
8. ON IN RUN ONLY = On in Run - NOT affected by sections.
Default: Master (off in Hold)

MINIMUM ALARM SPEED
Location: PAGE 4 - VOLUME
Description: Enables and adjusts a minimum speed
threshold for the audible alarm - this prevents unneeded
warnings while stopping and starting. This can be set
to OFF (0) or from 0.1 to 99.9 mph (km/h). Affected
alarms are Application Rate Error and Minimum Flow.
Default: Off
AUDIBLE ALARM ENABLE
Location: PAGE 4 - VOLUME/MIN.
Description: Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) Audible Alarm
function - allows user to operate system without hearing
any system warnings. Flush cycle completion alert is not
affected by this setting.
Default: On
SECTION INPUT POLARITY
Location: PAGE 4 - TANK
Description: This setting allows the user to reverse
the polarity of section inputs. This may be useful
when connecting a 3rd party mapping device to the
SprayMate XRS system for automatic section control.
Default: 12v

Operation
Make sure your system is properly calibrated before beginning to apply product. We also recommend completion of the Pre-
Field System Checkout described on page 21 prior to beginning any operations.
Automatic Operation
This mode sets and maintains the Target Rate (GPA) - the system compensates for speed changes or section switching.
1. Press the AUTO/MAN button to select Automatic mode (“AUTO” icon will be displayed).
2. Switch on the desired number of boom sections.
3. Switch the RUN/HOLD switch to RUN.
4. Drive vehicle. (Speed signal will activate system.)
Use the Section switches or the RUN/HOLD switch to Start or Stop application at any time.
ON-THE-GO RATE ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust the application rate, turn rotary knob to the RATE position and press the Increase/Decrease buttons. The increment
of this change is set in the ADJUST RATE position in Calibration. For example, if the calibrated TARGET RATE = 20.0 GPA
and ADJUST RATE = 1.0 GPA, pressing the Increase key once will increase the target rate from 20.0 to 21.0. The display will
momentarily show the new TARGET (21.0) for two seconds before it resumes showing the ACTUAL application rate. The
“adjusted” target rate is maintained until console power is turned off. NOTE: The target rate may also be adjusted while in
HOLD.
Manual Operation
Manual mode sets and maintains a steady flow rate (GPM) not affected by changes in vehicle speed. The overall application
rate (GPA) will vary depending on speed (slow vehicle speed = increased application rate, fast speed = lower application rate.)
Manual mode is most useful for system set up, spot applications, etc.
5. Press the AUTO/MAN button to select Manual mode (“MAN” icon will be displayed).
6. Adjust the flow rate by using the Increase/Decrease buttons to adjust the servo valve. The longer the buttons are held, the
faster the valve will move to allow both rapid movement and fine adjustments.
Note: Manual control can be disabled by changing the MANUAL ENABLE setting in Special Calibrate.
IN RUN:
Manual rate adjust can be done while the rotary knob is in either the RATE or VOLUME/MINUTE position.
IN HOLD:
If the console is in HOLD, or if all section valves are OFF, the rotary knob must be in the VOLUME/MINUTE position to adjust the
servo valve using the Increase/Decrease buttons. In that position only, the servo valve can be adjusted without any section valves
on, and the flow rate (GPM or LPM) can be monitored. This can be useful for system pressure tests, etc. The above applies only
when using a Standard (Std) control valve. A PWM (PULSE) control valve is always Off when in HOLD.
Care and Maintenance of your SprayMate™ XRS
Store the console in a cool dry location during the off-season.
