CONTROLLER 5500

New “easy to operate” HARDI HC 5500 controller

So many features yet so easy to use” says product manager of electronics Anthony Facchin, HARDI INTERNATIONAL A/S.
HARDI HC 5500 is more than a basic rate controller. It has many features that will enhance the liquid system on your sprayer and allow you to access more information on the work carried out“.

Full integration
It is so simple to fit. The design is fully integrated with the other control boxes so the HC 5500 is the natural choice for your HARDI sprayer. It typically takes only one cable connection. The sprayer control box already has the necessary plug.

Compact display with freedom of placement
The HC 5500 is small enough not to clutter the tractor cabin.
It can be located independently from the controls. It is logical to locate it in the line of travel while the controls can be located close to the operator.

Preset keys help the driver
Changing the readout of vital information whilst spraying must be quick and easy. A series of pre-sets for the readout of volume rate, speed, tank contents, area treated and total volume sprayed are at your fingertip. They will appear in the large format area of the screen.

Distance or area left readout
The guesswork of whether the tank will empty in the middle of a run is forever gone. The distance or area left is constantly calculated.

Navigation keys
When spraying, the navigation keys can be used to change the volume rate in a set percentage or volume.
If used on a vineyard or orchard sprayer, they can be used to adjust the correct canopy measurements.
The navigation keys are mostly used to code in the initial values.

Audio and visual alarms
Alarms can be set to warn of incorrect volume rate, low tank contents, excessive speed and for optional transducers, e.g. high or low pressure.
A warning is also given if a boom section is left switched off.
As extra security the HC 5500 does not rely on batteries to maintain the memory when the power has been disconnected. This simplifies storage.
On top of that, it is still possible to continue spraying even if the HC 5500 is removed from the sprayer.

Advanced farming ready
The volume rate may be supplied from an external source, e.g. a site specific application map or a remote sensor. An icon on the screen will indicate when this is active.

Registers, hard copy and data transfer
Up to 98 registers with real names can be used. A copy of the register information and HC 5500 configuration can be made with a 12 Volt printer. It is also possible to transfer the data to an office PC.
Other very usefull HC 5500 features are Auto Foam marker, Auto ON/OFF, Menu location identification, clock and alarm function includes date, time of day, stopwatch and an alarm, minimum speed and pressure setting, service intervals and nozzle check interval.
