1 - Overview
Overview
This manual covers the operation of the Pro-Series 8000 when configured as an Apollo
8000 Variable-Rate Spray Controller. Separate manuals are supplied for other
applications. The "Delta 34" instrument has identical sprayer control functions and
capabilities with the exception of Data Logging. This menu is not available.
1.1 The RDS Precision Farming System (Apollo only)
The RDS PS 8000 is a fully DGPS compatible, multi-function cab computer for a wide
range of applications and is the central component of RDS Precision Farming
hardware (figure 1).
1.2 Installation and Inter-operability with other systems (Apollo
only)
An RDS control system comprises several component kits. This modular approach
means that a suitable control system can be specified for a very wide range of
implements. When re-configured with the appropriate control software the PS 8000
head unit can be simplytransferred between different implements.
The PS 8000 can also output variable-rate instructions to other control systems
including Vicon, Bogballe and Amatron systems, as well as acting on variable-rate
instructions received from Fieldstar, Soyl Opti, Agrocom ACT and Hydro-N Sensor
systems.
1.3 Control Software (Apollo only)
Your instrument is pre-loaded with "Apollo Sprayer Control"software only.
With the purchase of a "secondary software module" - an electronic chip loaded into
the back of the instrument, the Pro-Series can be instantly switched to perform
another function e.g. from a Sprayer Controller to a Data Logger for route navigation
and soil mapping tasks. This is done from "Instrument Select" in the "USER
OPTIONS"menu.
There are software modules for yield monitoring/mapping, route/soil mapping,
variable-rate sprayer control, variable-rate belt spreader control, variable-rate disc
spreader control,and variable-rate seed drilling.
For information on connecting and configuring RDS PF hardware e.g. the Data Card
Module, Secondary Software Module, DGPS Receiver, cables etc, and data transfer
to your PC, please refer to the "Precision Farming Supplement".

1 - Overview
1.4 Control Channels and 'Tanks'
The PS 8000 is an extremely versatile control system able to simultaneously control
via 4 different "control channels". Each "channel" is a full control system comprising a
control valve or actuator,and a feedback sensor e.g.
- a sprayer flow control valve and a flow sensor,
- a linear actuator with position (rate) feedback,
- a proportional hydraulic control valve and a flow rate sensor
A 'tank' is the default description for the implement tank or hopper (you can
programme your own description accordingly).
Normally there is one control channel per "tank". Occasionally, two control channels
are controlling the output of one "tank" e.g. a fertiliser spreader with two actuators
controlling left and right sides.
Single implement operation (Delta 34)
By default, only 'Tank 1' is enabled. Only one control channel is required for most
sprayer control systems .
Except for the boom setup, each 'tank' can be configured for different sprayers, so
you can simply transfer the head unit to another sprayer fitted with an RDS
distribution system. On changing sprayers, the appropriate 'tank' is enabled from the
"Machine Options" screen in the calibration menu. You must re-configure the boom
setupasrequired.
Multiple implement operation (Apollo only)
You can simultaneously control more than one implement e.g. front and rear-
mounted spreaders, and all 4 channels can be utilised depending on the total
number ofvalve/actuators/motors in operation.
Additional 'Tanks' are enabled from the 'Machine Options' screen in the calibration
menu. The MAIN menu key is then used to cycle between the separate tank display
screens and also a screen displaying application rates for all enabled 'tanks'.
NOTES: All "Tanks" must be distributing across the same basic width / boom setup.
This manual predominantly covers single tank operation, however, where applicable,
a symbol indicates information pertaining to multi-tank operation.
1.5 Sprayer Control Modes
The PS 8000 has three control modes. The Delta 34 has only two;
Manual Control Mode (Apollo / Delta 34)
This gives simple manual control of application rate.
On the Apollo only, field data ("job summaries") can be logged and are stored in the
instrument memory. Up to 75 summaries can be stored.
5

1 - Overview
Automatic Control Mode (Apollo / Delta 34)
This gives fully automatic rate control. Flow / pressure is automatically regulated as
forward speed varies, to ensure that the actual application rate constantly matches a
preset target rate. The application rate can be manually nudged up and down from
the target rate as required for spot application in specific areas. Programmable
alarms warn of high and low flow rates.
On the Apollo only, field data ("job summaries") can be logged and are stored in the
instrument memory. Up to 75 summaries can be stored. If you have a GPS receiver
and RDS Data Card Module connected, as well as creating a job summary, you can
also log the vehicle route and application data to a "dynamic log" file on the PCMCIA
card. The job summary data is also appended to this file, which can be viewed in
PLOT/PLAN.
VRT (Variable-rate treatment) Control Mode (Apollo only)
This enables the system to be controlled via treatment instructions prepared using
RDS PLOT/PLAN or similarly capable Precision Farming software programs, in
conjunction with DGPS position data. To enable fully automatic variable-rate
treatment for Precision Farming applications, the Pro-Series 8000 requires a suitable
DGPS receiver and the RDS PCMCIA Card Module to implement treatment plans
generated in RDS PLOT/PLAN.
A work record file is automatically created on the card module to log data confirming
the actual treatment. The job summary data is also appended to this file, which can
be viewed in PLOT/PLAN.
Please refer to the 'Precision Farming Supplement' Pt No. S/DC/500-10-202 for details
of DGPSinstallation, setup and data transfer with the Data Card Module.

1 - Overview
1.6.4 The MAIN screen page (multi-tank operation - Apollo only)
The instrument will always default to the MAIN screen on startup. The MAIN screen
differs from that for single tank operation only in the respect of there being a separate
screen page for each tank or hopper enabled (fig. 4), and also a screen page which
shows the application rates for all tanks - the "multi-tank" page (fig.5).
The text line at the top of the screen indicates which tank/product the screen
information is referring to.
Individual tank - display and settings
Press the MAIN menu key repeatedly to cycle between the MAIN screen pages
for each tank.
You can independentlyset the target rate,application mode (AUTOor MAN) and alter
the target rate (AUTOmode) or actual application rate (MAN mode) for each tank,
Multi-tank display and settings
From the "multi-tank" page you can alter the target rate simultaneously for all tanks
set for AUTO (fig. 5) by pressing the arrow keys. All rates will change by the same
increment (default = 5%).
The target rate from each tank is displayed by the graphic. If the
application rate from an individual tank has been adjusted above or below the target
rate, then that target rate will be flashing on the "multi-tank" page. Note that in this
example, tanks 3 and 4 do not show a target rate because they are set to MAN
mode.
Pressing the key will reset all tank rates to their respective pre-programmed
targetrates.
