Post Delivery Steps
STEP A - Material Setup & Calibration
Material Setup
Configure up to (10) Granular, (10) Pre-Wet and (10) Anti-Ice material names to establish
operational parameters operation. See Managing Materials section for full instructions.
1) Enter configuration menu by selecting the yellow “system setup” button. You will be asked
for a password, enter “_____” using the spinner controls to change the digits, and the blast/pass
controls to change cursor positions. Run cursor past the end of the password to enter setup mode.
2) Using the spinner button, select “Materials” to begin.
Granular Drop Test - Open or Closed Loop
With the auger, spinner, and pre-wet configured and trim values present, the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
will
operate in automatic. Until doing a material drop test, the unit will use default values and be less accurate.
Closed Loop Drop Test (auger/conveyor sensor present)
:
For accurate material delivery, a drop test must be performed for each named type of granular material.
Conveyor Spreaders: accuracy is a function of the gate height settings on the truck.
If multiple gate
settings are used in normal operation, a material name and drop test must be run for each gate setting (Salt
2, Salt 3, Salt 4 etc).
Changes in the gate setting without changing the calibration will result in less
accurate dispensation of granular material.
1) Enter configuration menu by simultaneously hold the auger and pre-wet button down to enter the
“configuration screen.” You will be asked for a password, enter it using the spinner controls to change the
digits, and the blast/pass controls to change cursor. Move cursor past the end to enter setup mode.
2) Using the spinner button, select “Materials,” and select material type.
a) Pick the material type you wish to calibrate (i.e. salt).
b) Scroll down to pulses per pound.
WARNING
Potential for injury due to unexpected
operation of auger.
Entanglement in the auger will cause
severe injury to extremities, with pos-
sible loss of extremities.
During initial startup and te sting, the
auger may start without warning. Stay
clear of the auger during all startup,
programming, and operation proce-
dures.
Do not attempt to clear a jammed au-
ger with the hydraulic or control sys-
tem active.
