CHAPTER 3
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
All operators must read the Operation section of this
manual and be properly trained.
Keep personnel clear of monitor/turret discharge
path during operation.
For outdoor use only. Do not use in areas that have
been classified as hazardous as defined in Article 500
of the National Electric Code.
3.1 THEORY OF OPERATION
The Universal II control system is based on a distributed intelligence control structure. Each device in the system has a circuit board
with an embedded micro controller. These devices include (but are not limited to): the 6032 Universal II Control Box, the 6033 Mini
Universal, the 6034 CAN Operator Interface, the 6035 CAN Joystick, the 6036 CAN Direction Indicator, the 6037 CAN Wireless
Interface, and the associated handheld Remote Control(s). These boards “talk” to each other over an SAE J1939 compliant CAN serial
communications link.
The 6032 Control Box at the heart of the system is a software-defined universal controller. Its inputs and outputs are pre-pro-
grammed at the factory to match the particular monitor/turret it is used with. Please refer to the Appendix for the particular ver-
sion Universal II for their assigned function. The Universal II version is identified by a barcode label on the outside of the enclosure
between the J1 and J2 connectors that includes the part number (6032XXXX) and revision level.
Additionally, there are many parameters that can be configured by the user. These can be configured using the processes defined in
section 3.2.
3.2 INITIAL SYSTEM SETUP
The Universal II allows many configuration options during setup.
The following functions can be configured in the setup mode:
• Right, Left, Up and Down soft limits
• Monitor orientation (sideways or inverted mounting)
• Obstacle Avoidance
• Stow and Deploy positions
• Position Sensor zero
• Restore Factory Defaults
