The
System Maintenance Card
primarily provides simple
control over the motors. Exhaust in the top right of the
card controls the Exhaust Fan above the Spray Chamber,
with 0% turning the fan off and 100% being full power
on. To change the Exhaust Power press on Exhaust in the
top right corner of the maintenance card and enter the new
power.

• System Maintenance Operations:
▪
Dis/Engage Motors:
Disengages the motors
so that they are not locked into position and
can be moved by hand. Other Belt Operations
will not be performed while the motors are
disengaged.
▪
Index/Home Carriage:
Index Carriage to 10”
from the home position. If the Carriage is not
at the Home position then the button will in-
stead prompt to home the carriage, which will
either move the carriage to home or initiate the
homing sequence.
▪
Clean Belts:
Initiates a belt cleaning sequence
in which the belts move forward at a contin-
uous rate while the carriage sweeps back and
forth over the belt spraying water. The param-
eters of this sequence can be modified in the
settings.
▪
Clear Media Cache:
Clears the Queue Mode
Images cache, which is useful in case there is
something wrong with the images being pulled
in Queue Mode.
The
Pretreat Maintenance Card
provides control of
the
Desired Mix Ratio
for that fluid (in ratio format) and
displays feedback on the
Achieved Mix Ratio
of the mix
tank (in percentages). The Mix Ratio is always displayed
in
Pretreat/Water
order
. To Change the
Desired Mix
Ratio
press on the current ratio in the top right corner of
the maintenance card
, and select the new
ratio from the drop down. The Name for the fluid in the
line can be set in this card as well (ie, renaming Fluid 1 to
GTX or GT3). To change the name of the fluid click on the
top green bar where it says
FLUID: <Your Fluid Name>
and enter the new fluid name.

The maintenance card also allows the operator to disable
that line, preventing further mixing and spraying with
that fluid. This is useful should a critical component
used in the process of mixing and spraying that fluid fail,
and also to prevent automated procedures from occuring
while maintenance is being performed on the plumbing.
To disable the fluid line, change the Green Checkbox
to a Red X by pressing it in the top left corner of the
maintenance card.
• Fluid Line Maintenance Operations
▪
Flush Line
:
Performs a number of cycles to fill the
pretreat pump and mixing tank with water, then
performs follow up cycles of mixing and spraying
to push that water out through the nozzles and refill
the line with mixed pretreat. It is recommended
that this be performed on a weekly basis for all
Pretreat Fluid Lines.
▪
Refresh Mixture
: Empties the Mixing Tank
through the nozzles and refills the mixing tank.
Used when changing the
Desired Mix Ratio
or
when the
Achieved Ratio
is thrown off.
▪
Bleed Water
: Runs the Water Mixing Pump
at full power through a return line to the Water
Source Jug. This is used to purge air from the
line, and it is critical that this be run whenever
the Water Source Jug is replaced or refilled. This
Operation is the same regardless of which
Pretreat
Maintenance Card
it is initiated from.
This
does not waste any fluid.
If this sequence stops
early then it is likely that a valve is not closing
corrrectly.
▪
Bleed Pretreat
: Runs the Pretreat Mixing Pump
for this line at full power through a return line to its
Pretreat Source Jug. This is used to purge air from
