Speed Sensor Installation
Installation Note: The harness provides local connection
for the speed sensor. For speed sensor installations on
implements, add 3-pin extension cables as required.
Please Note: If you have purchased an Astro GPS Speed
Sensor, a Vansco radar or other radar or GPS speed sensor,
install the Astro, the Vansco or other radar as described in
the instructions included with the unit. You may need an
adapter cable to connect to radar or GPS Speed Sensor, see
Appendix F.
NOTE: If using a Micro-Trak Magnetic Speed Sensor kit, See
Appendix A.
Astro 5 GPS Speed Sensor
SPEED SENSOR OPTIONS
In addition to the standard Hall-effect magnetic speed
sensor, the RoadMaster™ may be interfaced with a variety of
other speed sensing equipment. Several options are listed
below.
ASTRO SERIES OR OTHER GPS SPEED SENSOR INTERFACES
The RoadMaster™ may also be used with most GPS speed
sensors that output a pulsed signal, such as the Micro-Trak
Astro 5, SkyTrak or Dickey-John GPS speed sensors. An
adapter cable may be required.
VANSCO™ RADAR SPEED SENSOR
The Vansco radar speed sensor uses a microwave (radar)
signal to deliver a reliable, accurate speed signal for electronic
equipment. It features state-of-the-art electronic design/
manufacturing, rugged aluminum housing and complete
testing and certification.
RADAR INTERFACE
The RoadMaster™ may also be interfaced with most popular
radar ground speed sensors. An adapter cable is required for
proper interface.
SEE APPENDIX F FOR LIST OF ADAPTER CABLES FOR RADAR.
Vansco Radar
Speed Sensor
Mounting and Plumbing Flowmeter
The flowmeter must be installed in the main line after
any strainers, return lines, or valves. Securely mount
flowmeter in an area away from intense vibration. A
vertical installation with flow entering the bottom
is preferred, especially at rates below 5 gallons per
minute. Other orientations are sufficient providing
the flowmeter remains full of fluid. To avoid erratic
flow readings allow a minimum of 6” of straight tubing at the flowmeter input and output. If installation
constraints don’t allow this keep bends as gentle as
possible. Micro-Trak flow meters are bidirectional (exception: green plastic turbine and mag flowmeters are
one direction only). Flipping the flowmeter periodically
(black nylon and stainless steel Micro-Trak manufactured models) to reverse the flow will greatly extend
the life of the flowmeter by evening out bearing wear.

The flow sensor cable has a GREEN sensor body and mates
with the 3-pin M/P connector labeled FLOW on the FLOW/
CONTROL/SECTION harness.
Turbine Flowmeters w/bracket mount
Spin the jam nut on sensor threaded housing until it stops,
then insert threaded portion of sensor through bracket on
flowmeter. Place second jam nut under bracket, hold and
turn sensor into second nut. Turn sensor until it touches the
flowmeter body, back it off 1/4 turn, then tighten both jam
nuts to lock sensor in place.
Turbine Flowmeters w/cast housing
Spin the jam nut on sensor threaded housing until it stops.
Insert threaded portion of sensor into threaded hole on
flowmeter. Gently tighten sensor until it touches the
flowmeter body, back it off 1/4 turn, then tighten jam nut to
lock sensor in place.
Last, route the flow sensor cable to meet the extension
cable from the main harness flow connector marked with
FLOW label. Align connectors and press firmly together
until locking tab clicks into place. Secure cable with ties
provided.
NOTE: Sensors with GREEN bodies can be used for either
SPEED or FLOW.
Installing Servo Valve
Lane Valves
Servo
To Lane 1
To Lane 2
On most installations, the servo valve installs in the main
unrestricted spray line, between the flowmeter and the lane
shut-off valves. It is not recommended to install the servo
valve closer than 12” to the flowmeter. The servo valve has a
flow direction decal on it. Make certain that the actual flow
direction matches the decal on the servo valve.
The servo valve connects directly to the main harness 3-pin
W/P cable lead. If more length is required, use a 3-pin W/P
extension cable of the appropriate length.

Calibration (cont.)
Entering Calibration Values (cont.)
NOTE: Your RoadMaster™ flowmeter has been tested at the
factory and assigned a “FLOW CAL” value to make it operate
properly with the RoadMaster™ console. This number is
printed on the white plastic tag attached to the flowmeter.
See Illustration 7. In the illustration example, the liquid
calibration number is “148”. This is a starting point only. If
your spray solution has a specific gravity or viscosity that is
different than water, flowmeter calibration should be done
for the specific solution (please refer to Fine-Tuning Flow
meter Calibration in Appendix D on page 36.)
ADJUST RATE: In AUTO control with RATE selected,
pressing “+” or “-” will change the TARGET
RATE by the amount
entered for ADJUST
RATE. This allows

WIDTH CAL: Displays the Section WIDTH in inches for the
Section selected (Unused Section must be set to zero). The
total width (sum of all Section widths) must not exceed
65,535 inches or 65.535
AREA WIDTH meters. To adjust a
particular section, turn
(1) (2) (3) CAL
that Section switch on
and all others OFF. If no
Sections are turned on it will display
“NO BOOM” to remind the user to turn a
section on.
Note: The system must be in RUN to
display section numbers. Repeat this procedure for each
section. Enter a value of "0" (.000) for any unused sections.
Your “working” width per section will be the number of
nozzles on the section times the nozzle spacing in inches
(meters). For example, if you have 7 nozzles spaced at 20
inches, the working width of the section is 140 inches.
FLOW CAL: This position is used to calib
rate the flow
NOTE: RoadMaster™ consoles are equipped with 3 Section
switches. In Lane Mode the CENTER Section switch is
always the PRIMARY Section and is used to define the
“LANE WIDTH”. Ag, Dust or Turf Modes can use any
Section switch. If the operator is only using ONE Section
it must be the Primary Section.

flow rate for the nozzle you are using is .22 GPM at their
minimum recommended pressure and your section has 20
nozzles, enter 4.4 as the MIN FLOW value (.22 x 20 = 4.4). The
system WILL NOT apply at a rate lower than this value when
spraying in AUTO. The Warning LED will FLASH whenever
the system is applying at Minimum Flow Rate but the Audible Alarm will not sound. This value should be checked/
changed for each different nozzle that you use.

Cal number should
not be changed during operation because
a change in the Flow Cal number will also

NOTE: When in Lane Mode, a Lane Mile/kilometer
is defined as the area in a swath equal to the Center
(Primary) Section width, that is one (1) mile/km long.
The user defines a Lane Mile/kilometer by changing the
Center Section width. For example, if the Center (Primary)
Section Width is set to 12 feet, and the Left and Right
Sections are set to three feet, one mile traveled will result
in an Area of 1.5 Lane Miles covered.

The RoadMaster™ system can be operated in either Manual
or Automatic mode. In manual mode, the application rates
(See table below for different rates) are set using the “+”
and “-” buttons; the application rate will vary depending on
the vehicle speed. The manual mode is useful for system
set up, spot applications, etc.
To turn on the AUTO mode, press AUTO/MAN button so
the AUTO icon appears in upper right portion of display. In
automatic mode, the system will maintain the calibrated
application rate when the vehicle speed changes, or
sections are turned on or off. To operate the system in
automatic mode, simply turn on the desired number of
sections, place the RUN/HOLD switch in the RUN position
and drive. NOTE: In AUTO mode, the system will not turn
the sections on until it has a speed signal. Use the Section
switches, the RUN/HOLD switch or remote RUN/HOLD
sensor to Start or Stop application at any time. See the

SECTION SWITCHES
The system monitors the status of the section switches
to determine whether they are ON or OFF. The console
accumulates area based on the calibrated section widths.
When an individual section is turned OFF, the respective
width is subtracted from the total width to accumulate area
based on the new active application width. If the rotary
switch is in the RATE position, the numbers 1, 2, or 3 on the
display will light when their respective section is ON.
NOTE: Most RoadMaster™ consoles are equipped with
3 Section switches. In Lane Mode the CENTER Section
switch is always the PRIMARY Section and is used to
define the “LANE WIDTH”. Ag, Dust or Turf Modes can
use any Section switch. If the operator is only using ONE
Section it must be the Primary Section.

Pre-Application System Checkout
Illustration 10
Before beginning actual application, perform the following
“Pre-field” procedure to ensure that your valve settings,
nozzle selection and desired speed range will allow the
RoadMaster™ to provide the required application control.
By performing all of the steps listed below, you set up your
system to allow the RoadMaster™ to perform at optimum
level. Fill your application tank with clean water. DO NOT
use chemicals until the entire system is completely checked
out and operating properly.
NOTE: Pre-field System Checkout is a procedure
performed while the console is in the CAL mode. During
the procedure and “CAL” on the display will be flashing.
1. Start vehicle and bring the engine up to normal operating RPM.
CALHOLD
2. Enter MAXIMUM application TEST SPEED into console.
With console in HOLD, enter calibration mode. Push and
hold (BLAST) button. CAL will appear on display and red
light will be on if unlocked. Turn rotary switch to TEST
SPEED position. Use “+” or “-” button to enter maximum
application speed. Do not exit calibration mode. CAL
will flash indicating TEST SPEED mode.
3. Select manual “MAN” control mode, turn all active section switches to ON position and put Run/Hold switch in
RUN position. NOTE: even if no section valves are being
used, the primary section should have the proper width
entered, and it is used to turn the system on.
4. Turn Rotary switch to RATE position and hold “+” button
to increase the RATE to maximum. The display should
now read more than the maximum desired Application
Rate.
Care and Maintenance
of your RoadMaster™ Console
Store the console in a cool, dry location if it will not be used
for an extended period of time, such as during the offseason.
As with any electronic equipment, use care in cleaning so
that water or other liquids do not enter the case.
Thoroughly flush flowmeter with clean water, install plastic
shipping plugs and keep from freezing.
Precautions:
Do not expose the flowmeter to liquid temperatures
exceeding 130 degrees F (55 degrees C).
Some chemicals may damage the noryl turbine or the body
of the flowmeter.

CAN’T GET THERE?
If you can’t get to the desired application rate, you may
need a different pump, or modifications to your plumbing
configuration. Please refer to Troubleshooting Plumbing.
Now is a good time to confirm that RATE, VOLUME/MINUTE,
MPH, WIDTH and PSI all coincide with the nozzle manufac
turer’s charts. PSI may be slightly higher than indicated by
the charts due to pressure drop across the section valves,
nozzle diaphragm check valves, nozzle screens, etc.
Enter MINIMUM application TEST SPEED into console. Turn
rotary switch to TEST SPEED position. Use the “+” or “-”
button to enter minimum application speed. Do not exit
calibration mode. (Remember, the minimum application
speed is not normally less than half of the maximum
application speed.)
Put Run/Hold switch in RUN position (make certain system
is in Manual mode), turn rotary switch to RATE position
and hold “-” button to reduce the rate to minimum. The
display should now read less than the minimum desired
application
rate.
CAN’T GET THERE?
If holding the “-” button does not get the application rate
to go below the minimum desired application rate, please
refer to Troubleshooting Plumbing.
If you are in doubt, contact the chemical manufacturer.

Troubleshooting (cont.)
General
All RoadMaster™ consoles, flowmeters and harnesses are
tested prior to packaging, so unless there has been damage
in shipment you can be confident that everything will be
operational when you receive it.
However, if you do encounter a problem that appears to be
related to equipment failure, DO NOT OPEN THE CONSOLE.
Your system is protected by a warranty, and Micro-Trak
Systems, Inc. will gladly correct any defect.
Many problems are the result of mistakes in installation
or operation. Before returning any parts for service,
carefully check your installation and review the operating
instructions. For easy-to-follow guidelines, refer to the
Troubleshooting Section which follows.
NO READOUT OF GALLONS (LITERS), OR GALLONS
(LITERS) PER MINUTE
•
Check to see that the pump and equipment are operating properly. If liquid is moving through the line, check
the flow sensor to be sure it is screwed all the way into
the flowmeter.
•
Check to see that a FLOW CAL number has been
entered. Also check cable for breaks or incomplete connection. (See Console Input Section). If the flowmeter
is new or has not been used for a long period of time,
the turbine may be sticky. Flushing the system out with
water should make the turbine spin freely.
Flow rate may be too low to register a reading, or foreign material may be lodged in the flowmeter. Shaking
the Flowmeter end to end should produce a “rattling”
sound (shaft end play). Blowing in the meter from either end should spin the turbine freely. See Flowmeter
Assembly; Appendix E, for details.
•
CONSOLE APPEARS DEAD
•
Using your test light, check for 12 volts at the power
source. Trace cable toward battery looking for breaks.
Also check any fuses or circuit breakers that supply
power to the console. Then check for damaged power
cable or reversed terminals. (Console requires 12 volts
for proper operation).
TOTAL LIQUID USED IS INACCURATE
•
This may result from an incorrectly-entered “FLOW CAL”
value. Check the number stamped on the flowmeter
tag, and be sure this is entered in the console’s “FLOW
CAL” position. If the meter has been used for some
time, wear may have changed the Flow Cal value.
•
Check the mounting position of the flowmeter. With
lower flow rates, the meter should be mounted vertically with flow going up.
NOTE: For more suggestions on solutions to speed
problems, see console input section and Troubleshooting
SPEED Sensor section on next page.
•
Another cause may be inaccurate sprayer tank markings.
AREA COUNT IS INACCURATE
•
Erratic operation of the system may be the result of
electrical interference from ignition wires or inductive
loads (electrical clutch, fan, solenoid, etc.).
•
Always try to route wires as far away from suspect areas
as possible. If problems occur, you may need to relocate
the console and/or wiring harness, or install a noise
suppressor and/or spark plugs.
SPEED IS ALWAYS ZERO OR ERRATIC
•
Check for properly calibrated SPEED CAL number.
•
Review speed sensor installation. If using a Magnetic
Speed Sensor, check for proper mounting, alignment
and spacing of speed sensor in relationship to magnet
assembly. Make sure magnet polarities are alternated.
Also check cable for breaks or incomplete connection.
•
Implement width or Speed Calibration was measured
incorrectly or programmed incorrectly. Go back through
the original procedures, make changes, and test for area
count again. Verify accuracy with formula:
Turf = Distance x Width in feet/1000
Yard 2 = Distance x Width in yards
Acres = Distance x Width in feet/43560
Hectares = Distance x Width in meters/10,000
Meters 2 = Distance x Width in meters
DISTANCE COUNT IS INACCURATE
•
Speed Calibration was incorrectly measured or entered.
Review calibration, readjust and test. See Appendix C.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
DISPLAYED MEASUREMENTS DO NOT MAKE SENSE
•
The console may be in the incorrect measurement units
(English or Metric) or Application mode.
NOTE: Changing UNITS will load defaults, so they should
always be changed first and then all other CALIBRATE
and SPECIAL CALIBRATE values may be set.
•
MODE SELECT in CALIBRATE allows the user to change
the MODE. Pressing the “+” or “-” (Reset) will toggle between Lane, Ag, Dust and Turf (except in Metric) MODE
and the display will show LAnE, Ag, dUSt and turF.
DISPLAY READS “99999”
•
28
DISTANCE, TOTAL AREA, and TOTAL FLOW will read
99999 when they have reached their maximum count.
Reset to zero to reset counter.
Troubleshooting (cont)
HARNESS
The harness can be checked using an ohmmeter or
continuity tester. The main wiring diagram shows the pinout of all connectors. See page 8 for wiring diagram.
Checking Individual Components
CONSOLE INPUTS
MAGNETIC HALL-EFFECT SPEED AND FLOW SENSORS
If there is no response from any of the following tests, refer
to the main wiring diagram to locate the next connector in
line toward the console and repeat the test at that connec
tor. If there is a response at that connector, the problem
may be in the cable between the two connectors (or the
connectors themselves).
Caution: Improper connection or voltage could damage the
Hall-effect sensor. This particular type of Hall-effect sensor
requires alternating magnetic polarities in order to switch.
This means that the north pole of a magnet will “open” the
Hall effect and the south pole of a magnet will “close” the
Hall effect.
SPEED INPUT
Turn rotary switch to SPEED position and disconnect the
speed sensor (yellow tie) from the main harness. Check
for 12 volts between pins B (red) and C (yellow) of the
main harness speed cable (yellow tie). Using a clip lead
or other jumper wire (such as a paper clip bent in a “U”),
several times rapidly short together pins A (orange) and C
(yellow) of the 3-pin connector (See Illustration 11). The
console should respond with some speed reading.
SPEED SENSOR
Ground pin C (black) and connect clean 12 volts to pin B
(white) of the Hall-effect sensor cable. Connect the positive
lead (red) of an ohmmeter or continuity tester to pin A (red)
and the negative lead (black) of the ohmmeter or continuity
tester to pin C of the Hall-effect sensor cable.
FLOW SENSOR
•
FLOW INPUT
Turn rotary switch to VOLUME/MINUTE (not RATE) and
disconnect the flow sensor (green tie) from the main
harness. Check for 12 volts between pins A (violet) and B
(gray) of the main harness flow cable (green tie). Using
a clip lead or other jumper wire (paper clip bent in a
“U”), several times rapidly short together pins B (gray)
and C (blue) of the 3-pin connector (See Illustration 11).
The console should respond with some Volume/Minute
reading.
TANK SWITCH INPUT
First Verify that ALARM ENABLE is ON. (See “Special”
Calibration page 21). With ALARM ENABLE turned ON, if
the Tank Switch is opened, the Audible Alarm should turn
on after a 15 second delay. If the switch is closed, the
alarm will turn off. Verify by disconnecting the switch and
shorting pins A and C on the cable connector.
RUN/HOLD INPUT
If using P/N 14361 (Run/Hold Switch Kit) or other switch,
disconnect the cable from the switch and the HOLD Icon
will NOT be displayed. Short between pins A and C and
the HOLD Icon should turn on; if not, the console input is
bad, otherwise either the switch or extension cable is bad.
If using a Hall-Effect magnet Run/Hold sensor, first check
for 12V between B and C, then proceed per above.
Illustration 11
•
Ground pin B and connect clean 12 volts to pin A of
the flow sensor cable. Connect the positive lead (red)
of an ohmmeter or continuity tester to pin C (red) and
the negative lead (black) of the ohmmeter or continuity
tester to pin B of the flow sensor cable.
Holding the tip of the sensor up to the north pole of a
magnet should result in a very high resistance (infin
ite),
while holding the tip of the sensor up to the south pole
of a magnet should result in a very low resistance (near
zero).
ASTRO II AND ASTRO 5 GPS
Carefully check your installation and operating instructions.
The following are tips for troubleshooting:
1. Check that 12 VDC power is available to the sensor. The
LED closest to the connector cable indicates power on.
(The other LED indicates GPS signal acquired)
2. Test the console inputs as described on this page.
3. Check to make sure that the GPS module is
securely mounted.
4. Check for any damage to the 10 foot receiver cable.
5. If system still does not function, the Astro may be
defective.
VANSCO RADAR SPEED SENSOR
Carefully check your installation and operating instructions.
The following are tips for troubleshooting:
1. Check that 12 VDC power is available to the sensor.
2. Test the console inputs as described on this page.
3. If system passes all above tests, the radar may be
defective.

Plumbing Guidelines
GENERAL
In order for your sprayer to function properly, it must be
correctly plumbed.
Avoid pressure drops wherever possible. All hoses, valves
and fittings (especially elbows) can cause undesirable
pressure losses.
Follow these guidelines:
• Keep hoses as large as practical
• Don’t use longer hoses than necessary
• Avoid bends when possible
• Use as few fittings as possible
• Use full port valves or the next larger size valve
• Long hoses should be supported to avoid sagging and
kinking
Many spray tip manufacturers have charts showing pressure
drops for various fittings and hose sizes.
Make certain that you have selected and installed the
correct spray tips for the application, speed, and spray rate
that you intend to maintain.
Don’t forget the basics; leaky fittings and hoses, pinched
hoses, and plugged or worn nozzles can affect performance.
PUMP INLET
The hose connecting the tank to the pump should be at
least as large as the pump inlet port. The valve in this line is
for complete tank shut-off only and should always be fully
open during operation. If this hose is too small or the valve
is partially closed, the system may not be able to reach the
intended application rate and pump damage could occur.
FLOWMETER
The line feeding the flowmeter and the section shut-off
valves should be at least as large as the flowmeter. The
size of lines going from the shut-off valves to each section
depends on the flow rate of each section.
PUMP
The pump must have enough capacity to achieve desired
application rate. To determine if your pump is large enough,
you must add up the volume per minute of all active
sections.

Appendix A
Optional Speed Sensor Mounting Installation
Magnets
Locations where the magnetic sensor may be installed:
Please read the following information about magnet
spacing and polarity.
1. Non-driven wheel on the vehicle. This is less susceptible
to errors resulting from wheel slip.
The number of magnets that must be used depends on
the size of your tire and where you mount the sensor. On
wheels the general rule of thumb is one magnet for each
wheel bolt (minimum of two, and always an even number).
For drive shafts, two magnets are usually adequate.
2. Vehicle drive shaft. This type of mounting is
recommended for trucks, four-wheel drive tractors or
other equipment that has poor or no access to a nondriven wheel. See Appendix B for magnetic speed
sensor installation details for various types of wheels or
drive shaft.
Some installations may require that more than two magnets
be installed. To determine the number of magnets required,
measure the distance traveled of one revolution of the
sensor equipped wheel in inches (centimeters).
Locate the following parts:
•
See the following tables to find the minimum number of
magnets required (always an even number) - The magnets
provided by Micro-Trak are marked with a punched dashed
line on the SOUTH pole side of the magnet. See Illustration
12A.

Always use an even number of magnets, and always
alternate the polarities of the magnets as you go around the
wheel hub or drive shaft.
S
To install, mount the first magnet with the SOUTH pole side
(dashed line) facing toward the hub or shaft. Mount the
second magnet with the NORTH pole side facing toward the
hub or shaft. See Illustration 12B.
For proper operation, the magnets must be evenly spaced
around the wheel or drive shaft. The magnets must be at
least 1” apart. See Illustration 12C.
NOTE: Magnets may be attached mechanically or
adhered with epoxy or other high quality adhesive. When
using adhesive, thoroughly clean the area of dirt and oil.

Attaching the Speed Sensor
The magnets are attached to a wheel hub or drive shaft
and the speed sensor is mounted directly over the magnet.
When the wheel or drive shaft begins turning, a speed
impulse is sent to the RoadMaster™ console every time
a magnet passes by the tip of the speed sensor. For the
speed sensor to operate properly, the spacing between
the magnets and the tip of the sensor must always remain
constant. Before permanently mounting any parts, be
sure that the location you have selected will meet the
requirements shown in Illustration 13.
NOTE: Observe magnet polarities (see previous section).

Connecting the Speed Sensor Cable
The speed sensor cable has a GREEN sensor body and
mates with the 3-pin connector which is marked with a
yellow cable tie. The speed sensor and the flow sensor
must be connected to the proper harness connector. The
speed sensor always connects to the 3-pin M/P connector
with the YELLOW tie and flow sensor always connects to
the 3-pin M/P connector with the GREEN tie.
See the RoadMaster™ Wiring Diagram on page 8.
The optional Run/Hold sensor, also uses the same type of
connector as the speed and flow sensors. However, the
Run/Hold sensor has a GRAY tie near the 3-pin connector,
the sensor body is BLACK, and it always connects to the
main harness lead with the GRAY tie.

Optional Speed Sensor Mounting on Drive Shaft
NOTE: This is an optional method generally used on
pickups or custom vehicles. It may also be necessary on
any other vehicles where access to the wheels is limited.
This installation requires a special calibration procedure,
see page 16.
Determine the best location for the magnets on drive shaft
according to which is the most practical spot to attach
sensor mounting bracket. This position should be no more
than 12” (.30 meters) behind the front U-joint. For best
results, mount “L” bracket to transmission and mount
magnets on drive shaft as close to transmission as possible.
This will ensure proper alignment if drive train shifts under
heavy loading.
Two magnets are required for proper Hall-effect speed
sensor operation. Position them exactly opposite each other
(180 degrees apart). The polarity (north and south poles)
detected by the Hall-effect speed sensor must alternate as
the shaft is turned. The magnets provided by Micro-Trak are
marked with a punched dashed line on the SOUTH pole side
Sensor Body
(Green)
of the magnet.
• Attach magnets onto drive shaft, one NORTH pole side
out and the other SOUTH (dashed) pole side out, by
wrapping cable tie around shaft and magnets. Position
eachmagnet so that its longest dimension moves in
the direction of rotation. Pull cable tie tight and trim
off excess. An adjustable, non-magnetic (stainless steel)
band clamp may also be substituted.
• Attach sensor bracket to vehicle transmission
with bolts, lock washers and nuts provided. See
Illustration below. (Use self-tapping screws if bolts are
not practical.) Use either the short or long end of the
bracket as a base. (Allow enough room between the
bracket and the magnets so that when properly spaced,
the tip of the sensor will extend 1/4” [7mm] or more
beyond the locking nut.)
• Turn one locking nut onto threaded sensor and insert
sensor into large hole selected on mounting bracket.
Turn on remaining locking nut. Set sensor to proper
distance from magnets (1/4” to 1/2”, or 6mm to 13mm).
When distance is set, tighten nuts to lock sensor in
place.
• Secure sensor cable to frame with cable ties. Place first
tie as close to sensor assembly as possible.

Drive Shaft Speed Sensor Calibration
Because of the difference in wheel-to-drive shaft ratios, it is
difficult to determine a calibration value for installation on
a drive shaft by measuring a wheel. You must start with an
estimated calibration value (10-15) and then fine-tune the
calibration.
Go to Appendix C for Fine-Tuning Instructions.
34
Appendix B
Calibrating if Using a Magnetic Speed Sensor
Determining the SPEED CAL
Illustration 14
For the console to calculate the correct speed and
measure distance accurately, the circumference of the
sensor-equipped wheel must be entered. Determine the
circumference of the sensor-mounted wheel to the nearest
tenth of an inch (tenth of a centimeter) with the following
method:
METHOD
Mark the tire with a piece of chalk and measure the distance
traveled on the ground for one complete revolution. See
Illustration 14. For improved accuracy, it is recommended
that you perform this function in field conditions, measure
several revolutions, and take the average.
Divide the measured revolution by the number of magnets
installed to get your starting SPEED CAL calibration value.
Once calibration of the system is complete, this number
should be fine-tuned for optimum accuracy.
For fine-tuning the SPEED CAL value, see Appendix C on
page 36.
35
To determine SPEED CAL, measure the distance
of one complete wheel revolution and divide
by the number of magnets installed.
Appendix C
Fine Tuning Speed/Distance
Calibration Value
This procedure is used to verify the Speed/Distance
calibration. In order to achieve accurate measurements,
each step in this fine tuning procedure should be
performed as precisely as possible.
PREPARATION
• Once the system is fully installed and calibrated, select
a straight tract of ground that is similar to your actual
application conditions and as level as possible.
NOTE: Using a course with a different ground surface,
such as a hard-surface road, will result in different read
ings than exact application conditions.
• Measure an appropriate distance for Application Mode.
AG and TURF are measured in feet (meters). Dust is
measured in yards (meters) and Lane is measured in
miles (km). Clearly mark the beginning and end points
with flags or something highly visible to the operator.
PROCEDURE
1. With the console turned ON, place the Run/Hold switch
in the HOLD position. The HOLD icon will be displayed.
Select the Counter (1 - 3) you want to use. Be sure the
display shows 0. If not, reset the distance counter by
pressing and holding “RESET” until the display returns to
0 (approximately two seconds). The word CLEAr will be
displayed when reset is pressed. Make sure pump is off.
Turn on Section switches.
5. When the display shows distance (“CAL” is flashing), ver
ify whether the number displayed is the exact distance
you drove (within +/- 1 - 2 %). If not, press the “+” or “-”
key to adjust the figure to match the distance you actu
ally drove. If the display reads too high, use the “-” key to
lower the displayed value. If the display reads too low,
use the “+” key to raise the displayed value.
6. When the number shown on the display matches (as
closely as possible) the actual distance driven, you have
arrived at the correct calibration value. If you cannot adjust the displayed distance to exactly match the actual
distance driven, adjust the figure as close as possible to
the actual distance. You may check the calibration number by momentarily pressing BLAST. The word CAL will
stop flashing and the SPEED CAL number will appear.
Exit “CAL” by pressing “BLAST” for one second.
The speed sensor is now calibrated. To verify proper
calibration, repeat the procedure a second time. Write
down the new speed calibration number and keep it in a
safe place. If the calibration values are ever accidentally
changed, you can simply re-enter this number.
Illustration 15
2. You are now ready to drive the measured course. Pick
a location on the vehicle to use as a marker for starting and stopping the distance counting function (door
handle, mirror, step, etc.). You should begin driving the
course well ahead of the starting flag and drive past the
ending flag, using the Run/Hold switch to start and stop
the counting function. It is not recommended to start
from a dead stop at the starting flag and stop at the
ending flag.
CALHOLD
3. Place the Run/Hold switch in RUN when the marker on
the vehicle passes the starting flag to activate the distance counting function. The console display numbers
will increase, adding to the distance total as you drive.
Drive the pre-measured course and place the Run/Hold
switch in HOLD, when the marker on the vehicle passes
the ending flag, to stop the distance counting function.
The console display should display “HOLD”. Stop the
vehicle in a level and safe area and continue with this
procedure.

Fine Tuning Flowmeter
Calibration Value
This procedure is used to verify and fine-tune the flowmeter
calibration. Every flowmeter is calibrated with water at the
factory and stamped with a calibration value. Enter that
value as a starting point and use this procedure to finetune that value for your specific installation and spraying
application. This procedure should be repeated each time a
new solution is being applied (differing solutions will have a
different specific gravities and different flow characteristics)
or when the flowmeter installation has been altered.
This procedure is used to verify and fine-tune the flowmeter
calibration. This procedure should be repeated periodically,
i.e. the beginning of each season.
PROCEDURE
1. Put enough water in the tank to perform this test,
preferably 100 gallons or more. The larger the volume of
water used, the more accurate the calibration.
2. Set up a container to collect the liquid running through
the system. The most accurate method to measure the
volume of water run is to disconnect a main section
line and run it into a large container. You can also place
a container under EVERY nozzle and add together the
amount from each nozzle. It is important to perform
this procedure at a flow rate similar to that which will be
used in the field.
3. Start pump.
4. Turn on at least one section.
5. Put the controller in MANUAL mode. You may need
to press the + or – buttons to adjust the flow of liquid
through the system. Adjust the system pressure to the
target pressure or adjust the flow rate to the target flow
rate.
6. Run enough water to purge all air from lines.
7. Turn off all sections but leave pump running.
8. Turn console rotary knob to the VOLUME position.
9. Press and hold the RESET button until the display reads
0 (1 second).
10. Turn on at least one section and run a known amount
a water through the system (preferably 100 gallons or
more).
11. Stop the flow by putting the Run/Hold switch in the
HOLD position or by turning off all sections. Compare
the console’s VOLUME reading with the amount of water
collected.
12. With the console in the VOLUME position, enter calibration mode. The display will show the current flowmeter
calibration value and the CAL icon.
13. Momentarily press the BLAST button, The CAL icon
will begin to flash and the total volume counter will be
displayed.
37
14. Use the “+” or “-” button to adjust the value to match the
actual amount of water collected.
15. Momentarily press the BLAST button. The CAL icon
stops flashing and a new flowmeter calibration number
will be displayed. This is your “fine tuned” calibration
number, keep it for future reference.
16. Exit calibration by holding the BLAST button until the
red warning light goes out (about one second).
* The most accurate method to measure the volume of
water run is to place a container under EVERY nozzle and
add together the amount from each nozzle. This assures
that 100 percent of the water is collected and that all
nozzles are spraying equally. It is important to perform
this procedure at a flow rate similar to that which will
be used in the field. It is also possible to disconnect the
main line and run it to a large measuring container but a
valve must be installed and properly adjusted to simulate
actual field conditions.

Flowmeter Cleaning
CLEANING THE FM270 FLOWMETER PARTS
IMPORTANT: Opening the flowmeter will void the
Flowmeter Calibration value assigned to your unit.
However, you may need to take the flowmeter apart for
periodic cleaning or to remove an obstruction.
If you can shake the flowmeter from end-to-end to produce
a “rattling” sound (shaft-end play), or if you can blow into
the meter from either end and cause the turbine to spin
freely, your flowmeter does not need cleaning. If you cannot
hear the “rattling” sound or get the turbine to spin freely,
your flowmeter needs to be cleaned. See Illustrations below
for reassembly instructions.
The example flowmeter shown for this procedure is a MicroTrak FM270. These steps will also work for the Micro-Trak
FM10/100 flowmeter. For information about any other
model, please contact Micro-Trak directly.
Use warm water and if necessary, a mild detergent and a
soft bristle brush to clean all parts. Do not use solvents or
diesel fuel to clean the flowmeter. A magnet works well for
removing fine metallic particles from the turbine.
Inspect all parts. Check for excessive bearing or shaft wear.
The shaft will wear shorter until the turbine drags on the
housing. When the shaft is worn to the point of drag, the
turbine must be replaced.
On a flat surface, place each Bearing Housing on end. Set
and spin the turbine in each half. It should spin freely. If it
does not spin freely, remove the turbine, wipe the shaft and
try again. If is still does not spin freely, the shaft or bearings
may have excessive wear. (Service may be necessary).
Rebuild kits are available from Micro-Trak.
REASSEMBLING THE FLOWMETER
DISASSEMBLING THE FM270 FLOWMETER
1. Remove the Retaining Ring on one end of the flowmeter by compressing tabs together and pulling it out.
2. Carefully remove the Bearing Housing by grasping one
of the internal support fins with a needle-nose pliers
and pulling. Rotating the Housing slightly while pulling
may help slide it out. Avoid contacting the turbine with
any tools.
3. Remove the turbine and set it aside. Do NOT remove the
Spacer inside the center area of the flowmeter.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 for the other end of the flowmeter.
Simply reverse the disassembly procedure to reassemble
the flowmeter.
After assembly, shaking the flowmeter end-to-end should
produce a “rattling” sound (shaft end play). Blowing into
the meter from either end should cause the turbine to spin
freely. If the turbine only spins from one direction, install
the flowmeter so that the liquid flows in that direction
(service may be required).
For maximum accuracy the flowmeter should be mounted
in a vertical position. Recalibration is required before field
operation.
