Description
The HARDI Controller 5500 is for use in agricultural and horticultural pro-
duction. The Controller permits automatic control of application rate.
Main components are:
• Controller
• Spray Box
• Junction box (on sprayer)
• Flow transducer (on sprayer)
• Speed transducer (on sprayer or tractor)
The Controller has a four line display permitting much information to be
shown at the same time. Display readout includes volume rate, speed, liquid
rate per minute, total covered area, total volume sprayed and 99 trip regis-
ters. It includes a total register that summarizes data from the 98 trip regis-
ters. It is illuminated internally so readout is possible even for night-time
work.

HARDI CONTROLLER 5500
If used on a mistblower, volume applied can also be set up as “Unit Canopy
Row”. Tree width and height can be changed on the go.
Functions include correct area with closure of up to 7 spray boom sections,
alarm functions for volume rate, minimum tank contents, speed min./max.
and possibility for audio/visual alarm.
The Spray Box has intergrated controls for the spray functions, foam
marker, end nozzles and two electric valves.
The transducers utilised are chosen for long service life and good signal
quality. The speed and flow transducer has a diode built into the housing to
aid servicing. As the wheel or rotor turns, the diode will flash thereby indicat-
ing it functions.
The Controller is also compatible for Variable Rate Application and is
prepared for communication with Precision Farming tools.
Data dump of registers and configuration to a personal computer is possi-
ble.
The system has a non-volatile memory with no battery which simplifies
storage. All parameters in the menus are saved in the Controllers memory
and are not lost when the power is disconnected.
The components are rain and dust proof and have been developed to last
many years under agricultural conditions.
Optional transducers include pressure, revolutions and area meter. Other
options include a 12 Volt printer and a foot operated remote ON/OFF for the
Main ON/OFF.

Power supply
The power supply is 12 Volt DC.
Brown wire is positive “⊕”.
Blue wire is negative “-”.
Power supply must come directly from the battery. The wires must have a
cross-sectional area of at least 1.0 mm2to ensure sufficient power supply.
NOTE: Do not connect to the starter motor or generator/alternator.
Warranty is void if this is done.
Use the HARDI Electric distribution box (Ref. no. 817925) if the tractor has
a doubtful wiring.

Tractor installation
Brackets
The supplied tractor pillar
bracket (A) has a hole spac-
ing of 100 and 120 mm.
Check tractor instructions
manual for information re-
garding attachment points.
Three tubes (B) are supplied.
One, two or all 3 may be
used.
They can be bent and short-
ened.
A spacer (C) is also supplied
to allow further attachment
possibilities.
Find the best solution for your
tractor or vehicle.
See the different suggestions
on the next page.
Spray Box
Best placement is to the right of
the driver seat and in combi-
nation with the Controller.
It should be secured from
movement.
Controller
Mount it in the tractor cabin
at a convenient place.
NOTE: An extension cable is
available as an option if the
Controller is to be placed
further away from the Spray
Box. (Ref. no. 261933)

HARDI CONTROLLER 5500
Printer
If the 12 Volt printer is fitted, the supplied tube can be utilised to fit the
printer on the Controller/Spray Box brackets.
NOTE: The Controller and Spray Box should be protected from moisture
and should be removed if the tractor does not have a cabin.

Speed transducer for tractor
Note the following if the speed transducer is
fitted to the tractor or vehicle.
The speed transducer is an inductive type. It
requires a metallic protrusion (e.g. bolt head)
to pass by it to trigger a signal.
Recommended distance between protrusion
and transducer is 3 to 5 mm.
Foot pedal remote ON/OFF (optional)
Note the following if the Foot pedal remote is to be fitted.
Remote ON/OFF switch has to be activated from the extended menu at
installation. The HARDI Service centre does this.
NOTE: The main ON/OFF
valve switch at Spray Box
overrides all remote switches.
It must be set to ON for the
optional Remote ON/OFF
switch to function.
The speed/switch harness (A)
is connected to the Controller.
Connect the plug from the
Foot pedal ON/OFF to the correct connector on harness (A).
A speed/switch harness (A)
and extension cable are
needed to connect the speed
transducer to the Controller.

Start-up
When connecting the 39 pin
plug from the sprayer, note
the lock pal (A) clicks in
place to secure the plug in
the socket.
When disconnecting the
plug, the metallic pal must be
pushed back before the plug
is pulled out.
After connecting the plugs,
the power is turned on at the Spray Box. Model, software version number,
number of sections and size are displayed briefly. At initial start up, Control-
ler also promts for input of time and date. [Set clock to enable register].
Press to continue.
Menu 2.4 Set clock
If the Controller prompts for date and time, [Set clock to enable register]:
This must be done before the Controller is put into operation for the first
time, otherwise no start and stop time will be recorded in the registers.
NOTE: If no prompt, the dealer may already have done this.
Press .
Press to menu [2 Setup].
Press .
Press to menu [2.4 Set clock].
Press to enter menu [2.4.1 SET CLOCK].
Now you can choose between 24 hour or 12 hour clock with .
