The

SPG10

Control Unit

The SPG10 sprayer computer is used in fruit and vine cultivation. It is used as a control and

regulation device for agricultural sprayers that are designed for use with tractors.

In combination with the SPG20 control module and all the connected sensors, the SPG10

offers a tightly controlled spraying system for modern agriculture. There are clear economic

and environmental strengths to the spraying system. The regulation aspect guarantees

constant pressure through the sprayer valves and so it is easy to accurately meter the quantity

of product applied and to spray the required amount.

The system consists of an operating unit (SPG10), the control module (SPG20), one valve

actuator and various sensors. The operating unit has a clear Touch Monitor and it is fitted

directly in the tractor cab. The control module is attached to the sprayer tank and it is

connected to all the components of the sprayer control system. The measured nozzle pressure

and tank volume values are provided by a pressure sensor and a volume sensor and

transmitted to the control module.

Safety information

WARNING! The following safety information aims to preserve the personal safety of the

user and protect the equipment and working environment from possible damage.

General

• Do not attempt to repair the device yourself if you have not received appropriate training.

Always fully comply with all installation instructions.

• Improper use of or interference with the device may result in damage to the device, fire or

other hazards. In addition, guarantee and warranty claims will be invalidated.

• Do not insert any objects in component apertures. This may damage the device by short-

circuiting the internal components.

• The device is protected against condensation and atmospheric moisture by a protective

lacquer. Nevertheless, deterioration of the lacquer may cause the device to be damaged due

to condensation. For this reason, if you enter a room with strongly fluctuating temperatures or

atmospheric humidity, please wait until the moisture has evaporated before starting up the

device.

Power supply

• Ensure that the polarity is correct before starting up the device.

The correct polarity for the connecting wires is shown in the wiring

diagram.

• Check the operating voltage! When the motor is running and all of

the nozzle rings are switched on, the operating voltage must be over 13V. It is possible to

display the voltage in the display area (



chapter 1.1).

• Protect the connecting wires: do not use the lead for pulling out the plug or carrying the

device. Make sure that the connecting wires do not come into contact with heat or sharp edges.

Damaged connecting wires may cause fire, short circuits and electric shocks.

Cleaning

• Do not use chemical solvents for cleaning, as these may damage the

plastic surface. You should also not use a pressure washer for cleaning. Any

water penetration could result in damage to the device.

• Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and water. Moisten the cloth with

water and wipe the screen evenly in one direction from top to bottom. Quickly

remove any remaining moisture from the display and keep it dry. Over the long

term, moisture may damage the display. Do not use conventional window

cleaner for cleaning the display.

Assembly

• The SPG20 control unit that is fitted to the tank must be fitted in such a way that the cable

grommets point downwards to make it harder for water to penetrate.

The Main Window

The main window appears after switching the computer

on (Fig. 1).

The main window consists of the button area around the

sides and the display area in the middle of the screen.

At the top of the screen there is also a status area. This

displays the current spray programme (three dashes (“--

-“) mean that no spray programme is active).

1.1 Display area

The display area shows – in big bold figures – the

pressure (above) and various measures available for selection (e.g. content, distance, speed,

etc.) (below).

The top of the display area only shows the pressure:

 Pressure: The current pressure is shown at the top of the display

area in bar. This area is also used for setting the pressure either

manually or automatically. The current pressure regulation mode

is indicated in the top left-hand corner of this display area by

either “auto” or “man”. ( See chapter 1.4 „Setting the pressure manually“ or chapter

1.5 “Setting the pressure automatically”).

In the bottom part of the display area it is possible to select various measured values (content,

distance, speed etc.) (by clicking in the middle of the screen):

 Content in litres: The content of the spray tank in litres. The

display speed can be adjusted in Settings (



Chapter 4.3) (fast

when filling, slow during travel).

 Distance [m]/[km]: This is the distance travelled since

commencing spraying*. Below 1km the distance will be given in

meters (m), then only in km. Periods during which the nozzle

rings are closed are not counted. The recording ends with the

conclusion of the spray programme. (See also  chapter 3.5 “Starting/stopping

spraying”).

 Speed [km/h]: The current speed in km/h. This also appears in

smaller text above all the other measured variables selected (on

the right).

 l/ha: The amount of spray (converted to litres per hectare) currently being applied.

 l/min.: The current output in litres per minutes.

If a flow meter is in use, then a ring appears above the measured

quantity, which flashes when receiving a signal from the flow meter.

http://www.elmed.it

 Amount [l]: The total amount of spray in litres that has been applied since the start of

the current spraying operation*.

 Area [ha]: Area covered since the start of the spraying operation in hectares*.

 Voltage [V]: The supply voltage (battery voltage). In addition, an

alarm is triggered as soon as the voltage falls too low.

A new spraying operation starts when a new spray programme starts or by resetting the counter in semi-

automatic mode (→ chapter 2.1)

In the button area there are buttons for the nozzle rings, the menu button, the button for the

main switch, the button for switching between manual and automatic pressure control, and

optionally the switch symbol for the fan cover:

Nozzle rings

Fan cover

Main switch

Pressure control

The individual functions of these buttons are described in the following chapters.

1.2 Nozzle rings

On the right and left side of the display there are numbered buttons for the

nozzle rings. Depending on the number of nozzle rings that can be switched

on there may be 2, 4, 6 or 8 buttons.

The buttons on the left-hand side correspond to the nozzle rings on the left side of the

sprayer. Likewise the lower buttons correspond to the lower nozzle rings.

1.2.1

Nozzle ring selection

The nozzle rings are selected by pressing the corresponding button. The nozzle rings

selected are highlighted with a circle. Individual rings can be deselected by pressing the

relevant button again (circle disappears):

1.2.2

Switching on the left/right-hand nozzle

rings

By pressing in the left or right-hand area of the

content display (highlighted in blue in Fig. 2), or by

using the left/right button (on top of the device), the

right or left nozzle rings can be turned on or off

individually. If one side is turned on, this will be

shown with a solid dot (circled in red in Fig. 2).

Note: The nozzle rings can only be switch on/off

when the main switch (→ chapter 1.3) has been

deactivated.

Nozzle ring on

Nozzle ring off

Notes: In the case of prolonged inactivity (about 5 min. without speed, pressure and in

absence of any keys being operated on the display), all valves are switched off

automatically for safety reasons and in order to reduce power consumption (nozzle rings

and suction). Even the display illumination is turned off. The same applies to the IDS03

volume sensor (if in place).

1.2.3

Fan cover

The two switch symbols for switching the left and right-hand fan covers on and off

can be operated either manually or automatically (see also chapter 2 "Cover").

In the case of sprayers without the relevant covers, these buttons are not available.

1.2.4

Sectors in multi-row sprayers

With multi-row sprayers the individual sectors are switched on and off with the nozzle ring

buttons described above, and not the nozzle rings. In the case of tunnel sprayers, the left

and right sides of a sector are always turned on at the same time, even if you just click on

one of the two sides.

1.3 Main switch

All nozzle rings are switched off or on again with the main switch (press on the

corresponding symbol or with the middle button on the top of the device).

1.4 Setting the pressure manually

In order to control the pressure manually, the manual control

needs to be activated (“Man.” is displayed at the top left-

hand edge of the pressure display, see Fig. 3). Otherwise

this must first be switched to manual control mode

with the pressure control button.

The pressure can be reduced and increased by pressing the left or right-hand side of the

pressure gauge (down or up arrows, highlighted in blue in Fig. 3).

Briefly pressing the button reduces or increases the pressure gradually. Holding the arrows

increases or reduces the pressure continuously.

1.5 Setting the pressure automatically

Activate the automatic pressure gauge with the

pressure control button. The word “Auto” will

appear top left in the display

(see Fig. 4).

The pressure will now be regulated automatically to the

given set-point or the nominal pressure required by the spray

programme.

1.5.1

Setting the nominal pressure without a spray programme:

Press in the middle of the pressure display. A

window opens in which the nominal pressure can

be set (fig. 5).

The value can be increased or decreased

gradually using the plus and minus buttons.

Alternatively, you can also set the pressure

directly by sliding your finger on the bar.

Then press the OK button to accept the revised

nominal pressure value.

Notes: When using the automatic pressure

control, i.e. without an active spray programme,

it is very important to adhere precisely to the

correct speed of travel. Otherwise, at too high a

speed too little or at too low a speed too much spray will be applied per hectare. ( More

information on working without a spray programme can be found in chapter 2.1 “Settings

in semi-automatic mode (½Auto)”).

1.5.2

Setting the pressure with a spray programme:

When the pressure is set with an active spray programme, the nominal pressure setting

described above is ignored! The pressure is regulated solely by the spray programme, so

that the volume of spray applied per hectare – even if the speed is not adhered to

exactly – remains constant.

(See “Setting the pressure automatically” chapter3.5).

1.6 The alarm list

The alarm list can be displayed by pressing on the

top edge of the screen (on "bar" or above, see Fig.

6). All active alarms are shown in this list (Fig. 7).

The following errors may be shown:



Battery voltage too low

Ensure that the sprayer computer is being

operated with sufficient voltage (between 12 and

14V DC). Unpredictable errors may occur if the

voltage is too low. The power may also be

interrupted if there is a poor connection between

the power supply cable and the port (e.g. due to

dirt or rust).



SPG10

SPG20

versions not compatible!

If this error occurs, then one of the devices has an

out-of-date software version and needs to be

updated.



Pressure out of range!

This error message appears if the pressure

deviates for a long period of time from the nominal

pressure. This may happen, for example, if

nozzles are blocked or if the nominal pressure has been set incorrectly.



Pressure sensor error!

The pressure sensor is defective or not connected. Check the pressure sensor or its

connections.



Tank volume table error!

The tank volume table is needed to determine the volume of the sprayer tank. This error

message appears if the tank volume table is damaged or no table has been assigned to

the system yet. This error can be resolved by selecting a new table in the service menu.



Volume sensor error!

The volume sensor is defective or not connected.



Speed out of range!

The speed of travel is too high or too low to guarantee the required sprayer output. The

nominal speed is specified in the spray programme. The maximum permitted speed

deviation may be adjusted in System setup under "Alarm" (chapter 4.2 “Alarm”).



Off-line, no connection!

It has not been possible to establish communication with the SPG20 control module. For

example, due to a missing or faulty connection to the control module.



Overcurrent has occurred

The amount of current absorbed by the pressure control motor has reached the maximum

value permitted. The motor will be switched off immediately until the error has been

resolved. If this error occurs often, please contact the customer service. The overcurrent

parameters can only be adjusted in the Service menu.
