6.1 Regulator Valve Settings
The Regulating Valves and their settings are critical for the correct operation of the sprayer,
particularly if ‘Auto Section Control’ (ASC) is to be used. To have good control when using
Automatic Section Control (ASC), a faster regulator valve may need to be installed. A 20
second KZCO valve will be sluggish and give poor control when using ASC and should be
updated to the 6 second ARAG Valve (grey band), or faster regulator valve.
When a ‘Controller Mode’ is selected then the ‘Max On Time’, ‘PWM Setting’, ‘Min On Time’
and ‘Gain Setting’ settings are automatically set. These settings can then be fine tuned
manually.
