each has individual on/off buttons on screen.
3)
Anti-Ice Booms
have individual on/off controls for each of the three booms.
4)
Auger, Spinner, Pre-wet and Anti-Ice up/down buttons

Step
Task
Completed by:
1
Installation
- Mount the control unit in the truck cab and connect hydraulic
control cable, sensor cable, power and speedometer cable to the appropriate
valve coils and feedback sensors;
2
Power Verification
– power up the unit and verify that the LCD displays
the Setup Wizard. Wait to perform the wizard until all hydraulics and
spreader hardware is installed in the truck. At this point, no other functions
are possible until all hydraulic systems are installed in the truck.
3
Set Up Wizard:
follow the step-by-step controller instructions to: a)
enable the systems installed in the truck (auger, spinner, pre-wet, anti-ice,
sensors, etc); b) complete “pre-delivery trim” of the selected hydraulic
systems.
4
“Un-calibrated” automatic mode
- Choose “yes” when asked to run un-
calibrated; Normally, trucks are delivered to customers without performing
drop test calibration. Note: if unable to get into “un-calibrated” automatic
mode, step 3 needs to be verified and/or repeated.
5
Calibrate Speedo
- Verify speedometer signal input to the spreader and
choose system set up, trims/cal to calibrate the spreader speedometer to
match the truck speedometer.
6
Pre-Delivery Functional Test
– Using No-Speedo mode, test and verify
ground speed operation, off rate indications, and alarms.
Post Delivery Steps:
A
Truck ID, Material Setup
- Input truck ID, program up to (10 each)
Granular, Pre-Wet and Anti-Ice material names to establish operational
parameters for granular, pre-wet and anti-ice systems.
B
Drop Test Calibration of Auger and Spinner
– Load truck with granular
material and perform drop test calibration (Closed or Open Loop) for each
Granular material customer defined.
C
Post Delivery Functional Test
- Verify that the system functions properly
and is stable at the ground speed and material delivery rates the customer
desires;
Installation Steps
STEP 1 - Installation
Guard Against RF Interference
Even properly guarded sources of radio frequency (rf) noise can “leak” and interfere with in-cab
electronics. Take care when installing radios and radio antenna cable to keep at least 12” spacing
