3.2.1.11 Obstacle Avoidance Learn (Blink Code 2-4)
– This function elecation sets The Lower Limits across the horizontal range
of the monitor. For instance, a monitor located on the center of a cab roof might need to raise the nozzle slightly to avoid
hitting the corners of the cab as it sweeps from side to side. Use of this mode allows the user to program a horizontal profile
that will go around one or more obstacles. As the monitor is moved from side to side (either right to left, or left to right), the
vertical position values are stored at one degree increments. Backing up will overwrite previous data. If a horizontal area is not
learned, that area will be inaccessible later.
To program an obstacle avoidance profile, follow these steps:
1. Enable either manual or automatic obstacle avoidance.
2. Move turret to the lower left or right or lower right soft limit.
3. Sweep until the first obstacle is encountered. Stop movement before the obstacle is reached.
4. Move horizontally up over and back down until the obstacle is cleared.
5. Continue moving toward the opposite side. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if any other obstacles are encountered.
6. When the opposite horizontal soft limit is reached. Press the fog switch. The new Obstacle avoidance profile is now
saved and the user is returned to the beginning of the setup mode.
The same procedure can also be followed from right to left. It is important that the entire rotational range is covered during
the programming procedure. Activating the Stream input at any time will discard any profile data that has already been saved
and return the user to the beginning of setup mode.
3.2.1.12 CAFS Dry position learn mode (Blink Code 2-5)
– This function sets the discharge valve open position for a “dry” compressed
air foam setting. Essentially, this setting will allow the valve to open to a programmable position based on time. Before entering the
CAFS programming mode, make sure the “WATER ON/REMOTE/OFF” toggle switch is in the “REMOTE” position. Enter the “CAFS
DRY” learn mode by pressing the “Stream” switch until the blink code of 2-5 is obtained on the operator station LED. The control
system will automatically close the discharge valve if it is not closed. To set the valve open position, use the “Water ON/REMOTE/
OFF” toggle switch. The discharge valve will move toward open when the switch is in the on position and toward closed when the
switch is in the off position. If you move too far open, you can use the “Water Off” switch to move the valve back toward closed.
When the Water switch is in the center position (“Remote”) the valve will stop moving. To save the final valve position, press the
“FOG” switch on the joystick or operator station. Pressing the “Stream” switch at this point will put you into “CAFS Wet” position
setting mode.
3.2.1.13 CAFS Wet position learn mode (Blink Code 2-6)
- This function sets the discharge valve open position for a “wet”
compressed air foam setting. Essentially, this setting will allow the valve to open to a programmable position based on time. Before
entering the CAFS programming mode, make sure the “WATER ON/REMOTE/OFF” toggle switch is in the “REMOTE” position. Enter
the “CAFS WET” learn mode by pressing the “Stream” switch until the blink code of 2-6 is obtained on the operator station LED. The
control system will automatically close the discharge valve if it is not closed. To set the valve open position, use the “Water ON/
REMOTE/OFF” toggle switch. The discharge valve will move toward open when the switch is in the on position and toward closed
when the switch is in the off position. If you move too far open, you can use the “Water Off” switch to move the valve back toward
closed. When the Water switch is in the center position (“Remote”) the valve will stop moving. To save the final valve position, press
the “FOG” switch on the joystick or operator station. Pressing the “Stream” switch at this point will take you back to the beginning
of setup mode.
3.2.1.14 Stow Rotation Position (Blink Code 2-7)
– This function sets the horizontal position that the 3440 DeckMaster with position
feedback monitor must achieve before it will begin moving the middle elbow to the stowed position. The default position is straight
ahead. This only applies to the 3440 DeckMaster with the position feedback option.
3.2.1.15 XT Zone Interlock On (Blink Code 2-8)
- This function enables the extra travel zone interlock on a 3598 StreamMaster XT
monitor. When this function in enabled, the elevation motor will stop at 90 degrees above horizontal until a permissive input is
received on J1 pin 21 on the U2 logic box. When the permissive signal is present, the monitor will be allowed to move into the extra
travel zone (+90 to +120 degrees). If the monitor is in the extra travel zone and the permissive signal is removed, the monitor will
lower itself back to the +90 degree position. The factory default for this function is on. This function only applies to the 3598
StreamMaster XT monitor.
