3 - Description17• Handle is turned to a position in the wide end of the arrow: A large amount of liquid will pass the valve resulting to alarge extent of agitation.External Filling Device Valve (Blue symbol) (optional)The valve is used when filling from an external tank or reservoir.Activating valve, starts/stops the filling process.÷ NOTE! that the suction valve must be closed for maximum fillingcapacity.DynamicFluid4 Pressure RegulationTraditional fluid regulation starts, when the nozzles are opened. With DynamicFluid4 (DF4), the regulation is a continuousprocess, even if the nozzles are closed. Two ceramic discs regulate the pressure and ensure quick reaction and zero leakages.Used parameters are sprayer speed, PTO speed and the number of activated sections. The benefit is more precise applicationrates from the second the sprayer begins spraying.The DynamicFluid4 uses feed forward technology based on 5 sensors, which feed the JobCom computer with datanecessary for optimal regulation. It auto-primes at start-up and starts to move the valve towards the final position,immediately after the operator makes changes. For example, when section valves are opened or closed, the regulation valveis started at the same time as the section valve motors are started. This avoids overpressure situations e.g. after runningempty and refilling of the main tank.The 5 sensors are also back-up for each other, ensuring that the system can continue regulation - even if one or more sensorsignals fails. The applied sensors measure:• Sprayer speed (km/h)• Fluid flow (l/min)• Fluid pressure (bar)• Pump speed (rpm)• Regulation valve opening angle (°)Features for DF4• Very fast and accurate regulation when all sensors are ok, setup in menus are correct, and pump, filters and valves arein good condition.• Quick reacting valve, when sections are turned ON/OFF, and at speed changes.• Optimized AutoSectionControl feature that predict boom sections to open and optimized nozzle pressure.• Optimized for different PTO systems.• Nozzle surveillance. No setup or tuning is required for nozzle change.• Warning in display, if failures occur on boom plumbing, such as severe clogging of line or nozzle filters or because oflarge leakages on hoses and fittings.• All functions work through with degraded performance (Limp-home modes), if:• Failures occur in fluid system, e.g. pump defects, clogged filters or leaking valves.• Failures occur on pressure sensor, flow sensor or pump sensor.• There is a wrong setup of sprayer data in the menus.• Emergency mode, if angle sensor or sprayer speed sensor fails.Adjustable Agitation External Cleaning Device(optional equipment)External filling
