396-4507Y1 QuickDraw Lite Operator’s Manual 3 Revised 03/03/2020
Optional Gear Meter
The QuickDraw Lite can be purchased with a Gear Meter instead of the Mass Meter. The Gear Meter
provides very accurate measurement of the chemical products. The Gear Meter must be used with a
strainer to be sure no particles get into the finely machined gear mechanism. This strainer must be
drained and cleaned out if a product has been used that even a minute amount of that product may
cause harm to the crop to be treated.
The Gear Meter system also comes with a paddle flow switch plumbed into the line before the strain-
er. This flow switch guarantees that product is flowing when the meter is spinning. The meter can
turn from the venturi suction even if no product is flowing. With the flow switch, the controller will not
read flow if the meter is spinning without any liquid flow.

QuickDraw Lite System Settings
If a flowmeter is installed for the Carrier, set Carrier Meter to ENABLED. Adjust Pulses per Gallon
as needed.
When Carrier supply has run empty or when starting with empty lines set Carrier Prime to
ENABLED so the controller will give it time to prime before shutting down for a flow error.
Set electric automatic valves to ENABLED. Default Valve Close Time is 1.5 seconds. If the batch is
overshooting the target, increase this number because the valve needs more time to get closed on
time. If the batch is undershooting, lower this value. 1” valve default is 1.5 seconds.
When connecting a new tote, set Prod Prime to ENABLED on the first batch, so the controller won’t
time out before the hose gets filled with the new product.
