Fast Rate Response
Introduction
High precision sensing allows the Sidekick Pro ISO direct injection pump to dynamically lock onto the target
rate while the application equipment works the field. This ensures that the injection pump is providing the
proper chemical concentration throughout the field regardless of vehicle speed or boom section status
changes.
Integrated Motor Control Node
Sidekick Pro ISO features an integrated motor control node mounted directly on the pump housing for
simplified installation and enhanced performance. The control node features status LEDs which provide status
and CAN communication information which the operator may be able to use during calibration or system
troubleshooting.
Integrated Calibration Switch
The integrated motor control node also features a sealed calibration switch. The sealed calibration switch
allows the operator to begin the pump calibration process by passing a metallic object, such as a screwdriver,
across the switch sensor on the Sidekick Pro ISO injection pump. This feature allows the operator to run
multiple calibration tests quickly and easily and ensure the system is ready for operation.
Note: Calibration must be initiated from the control console in the vehicle cab. See the Calibrate the
Injection Pump section on page 43 for a detailed calibration procedure.
The calibration status LED light will flash when the calibration sensor registers a metallic object by the switch.
Pass the metal object past the sensor to initiate a pump calibration.
