Choose the desired value and press ENT to save the new value. The default value is 0.4
seconds, which is suitable for most sprayers.
If your sprayer has very "stiff' booms that stop very quickly when the hydraulic valve is
closed, you can reduce this time to provide faster operation.
If, on the other hand, the booms on your sprayer are very loosely suspended and continue to
move a lot after the hydraulic valve is closed, you can increase this time to produce more
stable operation.
7.15 Config Boom Interaction
The BOOM INTERACT option of the CONFIG menu defines how much interaction
there is between the left and right booms.
Boom Interact.=
0%
Choose the desired value, in the range of 0% to 80%, and press ENT to save the new
value. The default value is 0%.
Some sprayers with loosely suspended booms exhibit a lot of interaction between the left and
right booms. That is, when one boom is raised, the other boom also moves (either up or down).
If there is substantial interaction between the booms, it is difficult for the Controller to achieve
stable operation, and back-and-forth rocking can happen. The Boom Interaction parameter is
used to help the Controller cope with this situation.
To assess the interaction between the left and right booms on your sprayer, fold out the booms
and raise them to a normal working height. Using the manual controls of your sprayers, raise
the left boom a little but watch the right boom. The right boom may move up, down, or not
move at all.
If the right boom moved up (even if only temporarily), the Boom Interaction Direction (see
below) parameter should be set to SAME. If the right boom moved down, the B.I. Direction
should be set to OPPOSITE. If the right boom moves very little, then the Boom Interaction
should be left at 0% and the B.I. Direction at SAME.
If you do see significant motion of the right boom while moving the left boom, you need to
change the Boom Interaction setting from its default of 0%. The Boom Interaction parameter
should be set to the percentage of motion of the "other" boom. For example, if you raise the
left boom by 10 inches, and the right boom moves up by 4 inches, you should set the Boom
Interaction to 40% (and the B.I. Direction to SAME). There is no need to try to measure this
exactly - a good eyeball estimate is generally sufficient.
