1750+ OVERVIEW
- The AutoJet® 1750+ Spray Control System featuring an HMI Touch Screen Display is a self-contained, electronic/pneumatic panel that provides control of various aspects of a spray system. These systems come in a variety of design configurations depending on the requirements of your spray application, therefore, you may or may not have all the features described in this owner’s manual.
FEATURES
- The Spraying Systems Co.® AutoJet 1750+ Spray Control System is a self-contained unit that can provide you with precise liquid delivery and spray nozzle control in an affordable easy-to-use turn-key spray system. The system comes in a variety of designs and configurations based on the type of spray nozzle used in your application.
- The system can be used with water, oils, lubricants, inks, stains, water-based solvents, and non-abrasive slurries. The system is designed to spray most non-flammable or non-volatile materials. Liquids and materials that flow with viscosities below 1000 cP at 68°F (20°C) can be sprayed with the correct spray nozzle and controlled with this unique spray system solution.
SYSTEM USAGE
- The AutoJet 1750+ Spray Control System is designed to run continuously or intermittently.
- The AutoJet 1750+ Spray Control System features a high-quality HMI touchscreen interface.

PRECISION SPRAY CONTROL (PSC)
-
The PulsaJet® automatic spray nozzle is an electrically activated hydraulic, atomizing nozzle. This nozzle sprays the product in a controlled way using a PWM algorithm to control the sprayed amount without affecting the spray angle. PWM is the fundamental control principle that allows a significant reduction in flow by regulating the relationship between the on/off times that the nozzle operates.
Short pulses of on-time and longer pulses of off-time produce a spray pattern that appears continuous but actually reduces the overall flow delivered to the target surface. This provides better flow control with larger spray tips that are less prone to clogging. -
The droplet size is affected by the pressure of the liquid. With PSC, the droplet size and spray angle are independent of the liquid flow because the nozzle can work at the same liquid pressure for variable liquid flows.
-
PSC involves switching the spray nozzle on and off repeatedly at a controlled rate, called the modulating frequency. The modulating frequency is the number of times the nozzle is switched on
and off in one second and is measured in Hertz (Hz). If a spray nozzle is
switched on and off 10 times per second, the modulating frequency is 10 Hz. -
The time from when the nozzle turns on to the next time the nozzle turns on is called the period, in this case, 1/10th of a second.
-
Within a single period, the nozzle is switched on, and then off. The time that the nozzle is on, divided by the total time of the period, gives a percentage which is called the duty cycle. For example, if the period is 0.10 seconds, and the nozzle is on for half of that time, then the duty cycle is 50%. For the same period, if the nozzle is on for 0.08 seconds then the duty cycle is 80%. Therefore, at an 80% duty cycle, the flow will theoretically be 80% of the maximum flow rate (= 100% flow rate) at a given pressure for the nozzle. Using PSC, the flow rate for a spray application can be easily controlled without the need to adjust the spray pressure or spray tip.
PLUG AND SPRAY CONNECTIONS

SUPPLY AIR TO THE SYSTEM
ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATIONS
- Turn the red valve on the air inlet valve/regulator/filter clockwise to the on position. Turn the regulator that is on top of the air filter to an air pressure between 40-100 psi (2.8-6.9 bar). Air pressures higher than this will shorten the life of the pump.
- Adjust the regulated air pressures (regulators on the front panel).
- If applicable, depending on your spray system you may have anywhere from Liquid Pressure regulation only to Liquid Pressure; Pump Air (preset); Atomizing Air (drop size); and Fan Air (spray angle/pattern).
- Each air control line is equipped with a manual air pressure regulator. The regulators can be adjusted by first pulling up on the knob to unlock the regulator and then turning clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.
- When the proper air pressure is reached, press down on the knob on the regulator to lock it in place.
- Note: Your system is equipped with cylinder air for air-actuated spray nozzles. Cylinder air pressure is equal to the inlet air pressure of the system. It is not regulated; therefore, you must provide a minimum of 45 psi (3.1 bar) to the system. It must be above 45 psi (3.1 bar) to actuate air-actuated nozzles like Spraying Systems Co.® 1/4JAU series.
- Adjust the Liquid Pressure regulator. For the pump version ensure that the pump inlet air valve is in the “open” position. The regulator can be adjusted by first pulling up on the knob and then turning clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the pressure. When the proper liquid pressure is reached, press down on the knob to lock it in place.
APPLICATION SETTINGS
- Application settings are related to your spray application and will allow you to customize the spray parameters to achieve the desired spray coverage and flow rates. These settings will also allow you to configure certain 1750+ accessories, such as the trigger interlock and remote duty cycle if they are included in your specific configuration in later chapters of the text. This Application Settings section explains the Spray Nozzle Settings, Configuration, Duty Cycle, Trigger, and Tank Level Sensor Settings.
- Note: Application Settings and Recipe Settings are the same. Use the recipe function to configure most settings if the recipe feature is included in your system configuration.
SPRAY NOZZLE SETTINGS
- The Nozzle Settings page allows for the editing of the Nozzle type and Cycle Speed.
- Nozzle type: nozzle family selection, atomizing air selection, and anticipator/ follower time.
- Cycle speed: allows for the editing of the minimum and maximum cycles per minute.
SELECTING NOZZLE TYPE:
- Nozzle Family: Select the type of nozzle supplied with your system.
- Enable Atomizing Air if your system requires air atomizing.
Advanced Nozzle Settings allows for editing the PWM settings.
DISTANCE-BASED SPRAY TIMING
- The fixed and variable spray length timing modes have an alternative in which distances are used instead of time. These modes are called fixed spray distance and variable spray distance. In these modes, delays are expressed in distance units. These are the units that were chosen when calibrating the frequency input.
- The anticipator time in this mode has a special behavior, it is converted to a distance using the maximum speed, meaning that it is a minimum anticipator time. At speeds below the maximum speed, it will be longer.
ANTICIPATOR/FOLLOWER TIME
- The system will start spraying when it receives a “trigger” signal and stop when the trigger signal is removed.
- If your system is equipped with an air atomizing nozzle the 1750+ will switch the air output on before it starts spraying to allow the spray pattern to develop fully. When the system stops spraying, the air will continue for a short period to guarantee no large droplets can drip off of the nozzle. These times always reference the spray timing. The maximum time for both is 10 seconds.
- Note: The anticipator time must not be shorter than the start delay time set in the timing settings.
- When a spray pattern is generated where the off time < (anticipator time + follower time), the air output remains on for the duration of this pattern.
PARAMETERS—ADVANCED NOZZLE SETTINGS
- For custom applications, it is possible to change the properties of the nozzle manually. These settings should only be modified by instruction from qualified SSCO personnel except for the nozzle cycle count.
- WARNING: Incorrect settings can permanently damage the spray nozzle!
- Negative Pulse: Pulse time in milliseconds
- Used to speed up the closing of the electric spray nozzle, duration is dependent on the nozzle model and supply voltage.
- Gun (Nozzle) Offset: Offset time in milliseconds
- The difference in the opening and closing time of the PulsaJet nozzle can be corrected by using the offset value. The default value is 0ms. For example: If the offset value is set to -1ms, the on period will be decreased by 1ms and the off period will be increased by 1ms.
- If a nozzle wear cycle count alarm has been activated, the counter must be reset on this screen after the nozzle has been replaced.
CYCLE SPEED
- The maximum frequency parameter (fmax ) determines the maximum speed of the nozzle at 50% duty cycle and is entered as a number of cycles/minute. This parameter can be found in the datasheet of the electric spray nozzle being used.
- The spray control panel will calculate the cycle speed to conform to the following requirements (in this order):
- As slow as possible to prevent wear of the spray nozzle.
- Correct duty cycle this means ON-time / (ON-time + OFF-time) = duty cycle.
- OFF time is lower or equal to the maximum on/off time parameter. This prevents striping and very low frequencies at low-duty cycles.
- ON time lower or equal to the maximum on/off time parameter. This prevents striping and very low frequencies at high-duty cycles.
- The frequency of the signal is higher than the PWM minimum cycles/min setting. This can be used to keep the frequency constant for a large range of duty cycles.
- ON and OFF time higher than or equal to the minimum pulse width of the gun. This ensures that the nozzle is able to open and close at the same speed as the signal.
- Cycle speed settings allow for the editing of the minimum and maximum cycles per minute, as well as the spray thickness. Maximum cycle speed is 7,500 cycles/min, minimum range is 0-60 cycles/min.
- Maximum cycle speed: Maximum speed that the nozzle should switch at for this application. This entry will be limited by the type of nozzle selected.
- Minimum cycle speed: Minimum cycle speed for the 1750+ is recommended for this application.
- Note: If you want a constant cycle speed, enter a large spray thickness, and use the minimum cycle speed as your required cycle speed entry. The 1750+ will then cycle at this speed whenever possible.
Cycle Speed Example:
- For a nozzle that can achieve 10,000 cycles/min, the minimum pulse width is 3ms. This ensures that the combination of duty cycle and cycle speed falls within the triangle curve of the PulsaJet® electric spray nozzles (See figure below). The triangle is the approximate operating range of the nozzle. As long as operating parameters (duty cycle and frequency) are inside this triangle, the nozzle will operate normally. If the operating parameters are outside the triangle, the nozzle will not operate.
- Example: Spray Nozzle: AAB10000AUH-03
- Maximum cycle speed: 10000 cycles/min
- Minimum cycle speed: 0 cycles/min (= disabled)
- Minimum pulse width: 3ms
Objective:
- Maximum on/off time: 0.010 s or 10ms
- Duty cycle: 30%
RECIPE SETTINGS
- Recipes are an optional feature that can be added with a fee to your 1750+. A recipe is a pre-configured set of parameters that allows you to change to a different production batch quickly. These parameters cover most of the timing and spray settings. Recipes can be accessed quickly from any screen by selecting the recipe section of the top bar, as shown in the image below.
- The recipe settings section contains four tabs. The drop-down list near the top of the page allows you to select which recipe you would like to view, edit, or apply as the current spray parameters. The 1750+ is capable of storing up to 20 user-created recipes.
GENERAL TAB IN RECIPES
- You can change the name of the recipe and create a recipe description using the blue pencil icon. This can allow operators to easily differentiate between different recipes when changing spray parameters is required.
SPRAY TIMING MODES
- Timing modes are selected by going to the HMI settings page and selecting the “Timing” button.
- The system will spray for a predetermined time depending on the timing mode selected. The spray controller allows for accurate time-based control over the spray nozzle based on an external trigger signal.
- When there is a start delay value of 0 sec., the spray will start immediately after the trigger signal is sent to the 1750+, and if the stop delay is set to 0 sec. the spray will stop immediately after the trigger signal goes low. All delay values can be set from 0.00 to 320.00 sec., spray times can be set to 0.01 to 320.00 sec.
SPRAY PERIOD
- The spray period is the time the object remains under the spray nozzle or the time that it takes to dispense a dose. This will be in time units.
START DELAY
- The time that the system should wait between a trigger event and the start of the spray.
- Typically, this is the distance between the sensor and the spray nozzle.
- The start delay must always be longer than the configured minimum signal length of the trigger.
STOP DELAY
- The time that the system should wait between the end of a trigger event and the end of the spray. Typically, this is the distance between the sensor and the spray nozzle.
FIXED SPRAY TIME
- This timing mode is used to create a delayed spray pulse for a fixed predetermined amount of time. The system will spray after a trigger, and then stop until the next trigger event occurs. For every trigger, there is a single spray event.
- Set the parameter value to 0.
ANTICIPATOR PRIORITY
- By default, the system gives priority to the start delay, potentially resulting in a too short or a zero-anticipator time, which may negatively impact the spray pattern if the start delay is too short.
- In this case, the start delay will be extended as required to provide a correct anticipator time. This is particularly useful when the start delay may not be known beforehand, for example when setting the timing using analog signals.
SPECIAL CASE: MULTIPLE TRIGGERS WITHOUT SPRAY OVERLAP
- Occurs if the system receives multiple start events (rising edge of trigger signal) before a spray cycle is finished. If the time delay between two successive start events (or trigger pulses) is higher than the spray time, then there is no overlap.
SPECIAL CASE: MULTIPLE TRIGGERS WITH SPRAY OVERLAP
- Occurs if the system receives multiple start events (rising edge of trigger signal) before a spray cycle is finished. If the time delay between two successive start events (or trigger pulses) is lower than the spray time, then there is an overlap of two successive spray pulses.
FIXED SPRAY TIME– WITH REPEAT SPRAY
- This timing mode is used to create a continuous repetition of the spray period for a fixed time.
- Special Case: Repeat Spray, Air Overlap: If repeat off-time <= (anticipator + follower time), the air will remain on.
- Note: This can happen in both fixed and Variable spray times.
VARIABLE SPRAY TIME
- The system will spray for a period based on the detected length of a product. Instead of entering a fixed spray period, an upper limit can be configured. The resulting spray period will be determined by the detection of the start and end of a trigger signal, with a fixed start and end delay.
- This timing mode is used to create a delayed spray pulse that is referenced from the trigger start and stop events. The start and stop delay are typically the same as the time between the object sensor and the spray nozzle.
INCREASE SPRAY PERIOD
- Decrease Start-delay: The spray is started before the object has reached the spray nozzle.
- Increase Stop-delay: The spray continues after the object has passed the spray nozzle.
DECREASING SPRAY PERIOD
The spray length can be decreased by:
- Increasing the Start Spray Delay: the spray is started after the object is already under the spray nozzle. In this case, the beginning of the object is not sprayed.
- Decreasing the Stop Spray Delay: the spray stops before the object has completely past the spray nozzle. In this case, the end of the object is not sprayed.
MULTIPLE TRIGGER EVENTS DURING SPRAY
- If the system receives multiple start events before the spray cycle is finished, they will be added to a queue and executed according to the given delay times.
OVERLAPPING SPRAY EVENTS
- If spray events overlap, the overlapping event will be ignored, and the system will continue to spray to ensure the objects are sprayed correctly. This situation may occur when the following is true:
- Stop delay > Start delay
- Delay between two objects < (stop delay – start delay)
OBJECTS TOO SMALL
- If spray events overlap, the overlapping event will be ignored, and the system will skip the small object. This situation may occur when the following is true:
- Stop delay < Start delay
- Object size < (start delay – stop delay)
DISTANCE DELAY, MAXIMUM SPRAY PERIOD
- This timing mode is used to create a delayed spray pulse of an unknown period when receiving a trigger signal.
- The start and stop delays are typically the distance between the object sensor and the spray nozzle.
- The spray period is limited in time to the configured spray period.
- In this timing mode, the repeat functionality works in time units.
DUTY CYCLE
- Duty cycle represents the ratio of the spraying “on” time to the “off” time, which results in some percentage of the maximum possible (continuous) flow through the nozzle. The duty cycle settings allow you to select the source and enter sensor default values.
- Selecting 4-20mA signal will allow you to configure your sensor. The other option is remote setpoint, which requires a cable to connect to an external PLC. When connected correctly, the Duty Cycle on the controller display adjusts according to the input signal, 4mA corresponds to 0% duty cycle and 20 mA corresponds to 100% on.
DUTY CYCLE SETTINGS
- Select whether the duty cycle source will be local or 4-20mA signal.
- Sensor Value at offset: The minimum value of percent that offset the starting point to control Duty Cycle.
- Sensor Value at 20mA: The maximum value of setpoint for the remote duty cycle to control. Set the value at 20mA to be 100% or another value depending on your trigger source.
- Sensor Offset: The minimum level of the sensor offset can control usually starting from 0mA or 4mA. Set the sensor Offset to match the baseline mA value of your sensor (lowest value).
- Filter Time: Used to control interference/noisy signals from sensor.
Assembly Specifications:
- Panel connection: 4-20mA
- Part number: LE00M8M5M
- Cable: 16.4 ft. [5 m] cord
- Flying Leads
- Connector – M8 4 pin male
- DO2 represents your spray status in the form of an On/Off signal depending on whether the 1750+ is actively spraying. This can be used to monitor the active status externally.
REMOTE
- The duty cycle setpoint is multiplied by the value of the input to calculate the actual duty cycle. The following equation represents the calculation made by the 1750+.
TRIGGER
- If you have an external trigger source, select the correct and corresponding option for your external trigger from the drop down list. Toggling the “Inverted” option to the On position will allow the use of a trigger that sends a signal when off rather than when on. Tracks up to 50 objects.
TRIGGER SETTINGS
- Minimum length: Filters out a trigger signal that is less than the specified time. This setting can only be used while there is a start delay.
- Max. event frequency: When the max trigger frequency is exceeded, the signal is treated as noise and will not give the controller a trigger signal. A higher max frequency allows for more noise and could cause unnecessary triggers from a bad signal. Signals that have some noise, but should still be considered triggers should be accounted for with this setting.
Trigger Source:
- Local- Selecting “Local” as a trigger source will place a trigger button on the home screen that must be pressed every time the system needs to be triggered.
- DI2- Trigger is activated via the “Trigger Connection”
- DI2+DI4 – DI4 is the trigger interlock connection. This will place the system into standby mode when DI4 is low. DI2 operates as normal when in run mode.
- Note: Do not supply pins 2 or 5 with the 24V model.
- Trigger Interlock: Controls the state of run/standby. When the signal is low it will put the system in standby mode and spraying will stop. When the signal is high again it will be put back into run mode.
TANK LEVEL (LEVEL SENSOR)
- If your configuration includes a pressure pot with a level switch, select the edit button and use the drop down menu to activate the level sensor signal. Once turned on the 1750+ can now see the low level condition.
TANK LEVEL SENSOR SETTINGS
- Input status—Shows low level regardless if input is turned on.
- Status—If input is turned on and level is low this will toggle on.
- Invert signal—If you have a normally open level switch (open until liquid level goes low) do not turn this on, if you are using a normally closed float, toggle this on.
- Standby on fault—If you want the spray to stop when level goes low toggle this on.
- ATTENTION: When the tank level is low, the 1750+ will show a fault on the screen (tank low), but it will not stop the nozzle from spraying. Toggle on “Go to standby on fault” if you want the 1750+ to stop spraying when the tank level gets low. The level sensor will send the alarm signal based on its current configuration values.
FAULTS AND ALARMS
FAULTS AND ALARMS SETTINGS
-
When the fault indicator in the left-hand icon menu is illuminated yellow/orange, the 1750+ has detected that there is a fault present.
Some faults are recoverable, but certain faults can result in the 1750+ entering standby mode. When this happens, triggering signals or events will no longer be accepted until the reason for the fault has been corrected. However, the spray control panel will still display the fault condition on the alarm history screen. Once the fault has been corrected, complete a power cycle of the 1750+ to reset and clear the fault. -
Pressing the orange reset button in the top right-hand corner of the screen will also reset any active alarm that occurs due to a recoverable fault.
-
The alarm history screen will show a record of all past faults. It will list the time that each fault occurred, and will also show the fault description. You can select the time period that you would like to view using the “Duration” drop down menu and pressing “Refresh” to see the updated results.
-
See the Faults and Troubleshooting section to correct the displayed fault.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING TAB
- The 1750+ is equipped with an internal maintenance scheduler. This allows you to create and set Preventative Maintenance (PMs) events. These events can include anything from routine cleanings to specific events like component repair or replacement.
- Select Maintenance and Troubleshooting tab to access PMs, a spare parts list, and your Spray Specialist’s Tech contact information.
SCHEDULER TAB
- The Scheduler tab will show all upcoming PMs (Preventative Maintenance). PMs will show the date of next occurrence, and are able to be toggled on and off. When the PM is due, a notice will show up on the fault screen and the name box will change from green to red. The scheduler screen can enable or disable PMs by using the button in the “Enable” column. The button will be blue when enabled.
CREATE PMS (PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE) TAB
- This allows for the creation of PMs that will appear on the “Scheduler” tab after the parameters have been created and the “Update PM” button has been pressed. Time frequency of the PM can be set to months or nozzle cycles.

HMI COMMUNICATION FAULT
- You will see small yellow triangles on the screen. Note this error occurs if the HMI is not communicating with the gun driver control board. Reboot the controller and if this does not fix the issue then consult with the factory.
FAULTS AND SOLUTIONS:
- Controller will not power up: The main power indicator (RED LED) does NOT illuminate.
- Check to ensure power cord is plugged into controller and power outlet and power switch is in the “on” position.
Follow these steps to check fuse on internal power rail:
- Unplug the system.
- Remove four (4) screws in the corners of the Pane Cover plate (using #2 Philips screwdriver).
- Carefully remove plate. Take care to not put stress on the wires.
- Check the panel for any loose wires.
- Locate the fuse holder to the right of the power supply and lift the tab on the top of the fuse holder exposing the fuse.
- Due to the type of fuse used, a qualified electrical technician should test the fuse and replace if necessary. (5-amp slow blow)
- Replace plate to its original location and attach using the four (4) screws.
If the controller still will not power up, contact your local Spray Specialist by calling 1-800-95-SPRAY (1-800-957-7729) or call 1-866-321-2250 to order a replacement control panel.
- Controller will not power up: The main power indictor light (red LED near power switch), DOES illuminate.
- Follow these steps to check power connection on the HMI;
- Unplug the system.
- Carefully open the panel. Take care to not put stress on the wires or scratch the HMI screen.
- Ensure that there are no loose wires in the system.
- Close the panel
Controller will not operate spray nozzle.
- Ensure that there is proper fluid pressure supplied to the nozzle.
- Ensure that system is recognizing your trigger input. This is a common problem. If remote trigger/sensor is being used and button on the setup screen is set to “local”, the system cannot be recognized, the system trigger needs to be set to something other than “local”. The inverse is also true, if the system is being triggered off the HMI screen, the trigger option must be set to “local”. Make sure your sensor is NPN design if you are using your own sensor.
- Ensure that the trigger mode is set to Local, DI2 or DI1+ DI2.
- Navigate to the diagnostic screen.
- Activate the main trigger source (object sensor or equivalent): DI2 on diagnostic screen should go from a value of 0 to a value of 1 when the trigger device is activated.
- If this does not occur, then ensure that the trigger device is properly wired.
- If problem still occurs, then consult the manufacturer’s manual for the trigger device.
- If trigger mode is DI1+ DI2, activate the auxiliary trigger: DI1 on diagnostic screen should go from a value of 0 to a value of 1 when the trigger device is activated.
- If this does not occur, then ensure that the trigger device is properly wired.
- If problem still occurs, then consult the manufacturer’s manual for the trigger device.
For electrically actuated spray nozzles:
- Check that the nozzle cable is properly installed on both ends with no damage to the cable.
- Set duty cycle to 100% from main screen and attempt to trigger again.
- If the nozzle activates you may have selected a duty cycle too low or, max frequency too high for the nozzle you are using.
- If the problem persists have a qualified electrical technician, ensure that there is 24 VDC on the nozzle cable when the system is triggered.
For pneumatically actuated spray nozzles:
- Ensure that there is a minimum of 45 psi (3.1 bar) of air pressure on the main air input to the system and that the main air valve is in the “on” position.
- Check air supply.
- Ensure that the valve cable is connected to the main output on the controller.
- Remove Cylinder air tube from the outside port of the system.
- Trigger the system to see if air comes out of the port.
- If air comes out there is an issue with the cylinder on your nozzle. Contact your local Spray Specialist for information on repairing or replacing your nozzle.
If no air comes out, contact your local Spray Specialist by calling 1-800-95-SPRAY (1-800-957-7729) or call 1-866-321-2250 to order a replacement air valve.

- If longer length cables are required, an extension cable is available that can be used to go between the nozzle cable and the junction block or the junction block cable and the system. This cable can also be used to extend the trigger device cable lengths.
- This cable can be used to go between the nozzle cable and the junction block or the junction block cable and the system or extend the trigger device cable lengths. When using to extend electric nozzle cables, connect electric nozzle cable to M12 (F) connector.
- When using to extend electric nozzle cables, M12 (M) connects to “Main” connector on the control panel or junction block. When using to extend sensor cables, connect M12 (F) connector to “Trig” connector on the “Trig” Control Panel. When using to extend sensor cables, connect M12 (F) connector from sensor cable to M12 (M) connector of the extension cable.
- Note: Due to voltage drop we recommend keeping the cable length to a reasonable length. Never attempt to chain more than four (4) cables together. Electric spray nozzle speed and performance will suffer.
- Part number: LEXXSD4FD4M005P
- Connect to Main or Trig on control panel
- Cable: 16.4 ft. [5 m] cord length
- Connector – M12 4 pin female
- Connector – M12 4 pin male
INPUT SIGNAL
- Optional Input signal offering consists of a cable with connector and flying leads to be connected to the customer’s conditioned 4-20 mA signal to remotely control the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) feature of the spray control pan-el. This will allow the duty cycle to adjust according to the input signal. 4mA corresponds to a 0% duty cycle and 20 mA corresponds to a 100% duty cycle.
- For the spray indicator digital output (DO2), wire to pins 1 and 2 (brown and white wires). This output is active only when the system is triggered, it can be sent to a PLC for spray verification.
ASSEMBLY SPECIFICATIONS
- Panel connection: 4-20mA
- Part number: LE00M8M5M
- Cable: 16.4 ft. [5 m] cord
- Flying Leads
- Connector – M8 4 pin male
- Connect to “4-20mA” connection on control panel
LEVEL SENSOR INPUT
- A level switch (any normally open or normally closed float switch) can be wired to the system, so when the tank level drops below a certain level, a fault will be shown on the HMI.
- Wire the level sensor/float switch to the panel utilizing the cable shown below. You will only use the black and blue wires (dry contacts – polarity not important), carefully cut back and tape the brown and white wires. Run the cable back to the spray control panel and plug into the port labeled “T. Int.”.
- Activate level sensor option, go to settings in the HMI then “Tank level” and turn on.
