Introduction

The GeoLink® Precision Spray System automatically controls the spray application rate and the spraying area. The system monitors the area sprayed, the speed of the vehicle, and the total volume of material sprayed. You set the target volume per unit area to spray and the spray system automatically maintains the flow within the proper range of the vehicle speed and continually displays the actual volume of material per area sprayed.

  • Green—the boom section is on and flowing.

    g031203

The following are important acronyms for the user to understand:

  • WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System)—This positioning-correction system was developed by the US Federal Aviation Administration to serve as an air navigation aid by improving the accuracy and availability of the GPS signals.

  • RTK (Real Time Kinematic)— RTK Network - a group of land-base stations that transmit position data to a server through the internet. GPS guided machines equipped with RTK correction exchange data with the server, transmitting position information and receiving correction information through cellular data exchanges. The server uses the position data from the base station to calculate position-correction data and transmits it to the vehicles through the cellular modem. The corrected GPS position provides location accuracy between 1 to 2 cm (0.39 to 0.79 inch) in real time.

  • GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System (Russian GNSS))—This allows the GPS receiver to use the Russian satellite navigation system in addition to GPS.

Operation

The computer in the automatic section controller (ASC) controls the spray application rate for varying vehicle speeds. You set the target volume per unit area to spray, and the ASC automatically maintains the flow within the proper range of the vehicle speed and continually displays the actual volume of material per area sprayed. The X25 control console also monitors the area sprayed, the speed of the vehicle, and the total volume of material sprayed.

Editing Field Boundary Attributes

Field boundary attributes are used to uniquely identify the boundaries within a field, and indicate to the system areas where product is applied or not applied.

  • Work Region—work regions indicate to the system areas where product is always applied if you use the section control. Use work regions for areas such as fine and course turf grass.

  • Excluded Region—exclude regions indicate to the system areas where product is never applied if you use the section control. Use excluded regions for areas such as water features, sand features, and walking or cart paths.

  • Disabled—the existence of the boundary is ignored.

  • Categorized Region

    • Categorized regions are used for fields with many boundaries.

    • Assigning each boundary to a category is useful when including boundaries when applying a product or excluding a boundary when applying another product.

    • You can use categorized regions to define work regions and excluded regions for the current job.

    • In addition to the preset categorized regions, you can create new categorized regions for unique boundary-product application or unique boundary-product exclusion.

    g306657
  2. Using the fluid amount collected from the 1 nozzle, multiply 12 (the number of nozzle),to calculate the 15-second sprayer volume.

    Step 1 Measurement 15-Second Sprayer Volume
    (ml or oz)x 12 =(ml or oz)

    Example: 44 fl oz X 12 nozzles = 528 fl oz

  3. Multiple the 15-second sprayer volume that you calculated in step 2 by 4 to calculate the 60-second sprayer volume.

    15–Second Sprayer Volume 60-Second Sprayer Volume
    (ml or oz)x 4 =(ml or oz)

    Example: 528 fl oz X 4 = 2112 fl oz

  4. Convert that 60-second sprayer volume into liters or gallons (33.8 oz equals 1 liter; 128 fl oz equals 1 US gallon).

    Record the converted volume here: (L or US gal).

    Example: 2112 fl oz / 128 = 16.5 US gal
