These monitors are so advanced, they're simple.

500 Series Tractor Mounted Sprayer

Now, you can choose between different levels of control boxes to operate your mounted sprayer and tailor it to your needs. For simple, reliable performance, choose one of the electric control boxes (with or without automatic rate control). For additional functionality and future applications, select the CAN-BUS-based control boxes with the GreenStar controller.

ELB-1 Control
The basic ELB-1 electric control box lets you control pressure, the master control valve, up to 9 boom section valves and electric boom tilt.

  • Large durable switches are easy to operate.
  • The frequently used master valve switch is larger for easy identification.
  • Hydraulic boom functions can either be operated by the hydraulic control valves of the tractor, or by connecting the new electro-hydraulic extension box EHB-1 to the ELB-1 or EL-4 control box.
  • With the electro-hydraulic extension, you can operate boom folding, folding boom tips left and right, boom lock, boom height, and individual boom raise and lower.

  • This base electric control box let's you control pressure, the master valve, and up to 9 section valves.
  • Electric boom tilt with preset trimming and switching on/off edge tips.
  • The integrated spray rate controller offers accuracy and ease-of-use.
  • During spraying you can simultaneously monitor travel speed, pressure, application rate and alternate volume sprayed and hectares treated.
  • It is possible to change the target application rate on-the-go for temporary over or under dosing in certain areas; for example, with liquid fertilizer or herbicides.

ELC-1 Control
ELC-1 Control Box The ELC-1 control box offers electronic control of all sprayer functions. This control system offers control of the following possibilities:

  • Spraying pressure (both liquid and air pressure for Twin Fluid).

  • Control up to 15 sections.
  • Boom height adjustment.
  • Boom folding left/right.
  • Folding in/out; boom tips left/right.
  • Variable geometry of boom left/right.

GreenStar Controller
  • This one terminal can handle functions where you would need up to 5 separate units in the past.
  • The terminal gives you control of application rate, droplet size and tank level.
  • The GreenStar controller (right) also lets you store important productivity information, including area sprayed and volume, working time, total working time, working distance and total distance.
  • In addition, the GreenStar controller also continuously monitors functions for wheel speed, flow, pressure, tank level, pump oil level and air pressure.
  • It also provides full diagnostics for fast troubleshooting and less risk of costly downtime.
  • Most important of all, the industry's most advanced spraying control system will allow easy upgrades to future sprayer functions such as direct injection.
  • It will also enable you to use GreenStar precision farming solutions using GPS such as field documentation, variable rate control, and parallel tracking.
