Computerized Rate Control (CRC) System

The BearCat Computerized Rate Control System is installed on Model

BC-502/CRC distributors as standard equipment.

The CRC System automatically holds the spread rate at the selected

application regardless of truck speed or gearing, in forward or

reverse or during mid pass changes in spray bar width. The computer

controlled system automatically speeds or slows the asphalt pump as

needed to compensate for variations in vehicle speed, spray bar

width or rate adjustment. The operation of the CRC System is

described in GENERAL OPERATION.

Asphalt Heating System (option)

This option provides one or two 8 inch diameter flues, each

containing an atomizing diesel oil burner, or a propane burner. Solid-

state igniters, powered from the

vehicle electrical system, individually

ignite the burners. Switches located

on the Rear Control Panel control the

igniters. The burner(s) will operate

only when the truck parking brake is

engaged for obvious safety reasons.

Asphalt temperature is displayed on

a dial thermometer mounted at the

rear of the asphalt tank.

Wash Down Facilities

The standard wash down system

installed on the Model BC-502/CRC

distributor consists of an 8-gallon

truck air pressurized reservoir that

propels a biodegradable solvent to

the wash down spray hose. The

wash down hose is 25 feet (7.6 m)

long and is fitted with an on off

valve.
