Setting Sprayer Response

The Sprayer Response allows the operator to adjust the response time of the SPRAYSTAR ™ rate control. This is the time it takes the actual application rate to reach the target application rate in auto mode.

The response time has five different settings. A "5" indicates the fastest response time (MAX) and a "1" indicates the slowest response time (MIN). Each step

down from "5" requires more response time to adjust to the target rate.

For almost all situations, the response time should be set at "4" or "5" for all John Deere booms. If a different boom is installed, or an unusual configuration on a John Deere boom is installed, the response time may have to be reduced or slowed.

When To Change The Response Time Setting:

  • When the target application rate is never reached; the application rate always goes over or under when a steady speed is reached.
  • When the time it takes the actual application rate to reach the target rate is quite long, more than 4 seconds.

To change the response time:

1. Press "SETUP" to setup sprayer.

2. Press "A" for Sprayer Setup.

3. Press "PAGE" for Page 2 of Sprayer Setup.

4. Press "E" for Controller Adjust.

5. Press "A" to change response time setting. Keep pressing "A" until desired setting is reached.

NOTE: "1" is the minimum sprayer response setting and "5" is the maximum sprayer setting. To choose correct setting, start with response time setting of "5". If this response time does not provide acceptable performance, repeat Steps 1-5 using a lower setting.

6. Press "RUN" to return to Page 1 of RUN menu.
