pump off and raises an alarm. To silence the alarm, simply press the Anti-Ice (–) button or shut
off the Anti-Ice alarm. If the system has been set up to allow flow sensor overrides, you must
press and hold pass then press the Anti-Ice (+) button, causing the system to be in open loop.

can detect
(by measuring return pulses), how accurately it is achieving the programmed output rate of
granular, pre-wet or anti-ice material. If factors (jamming, lack of hydraulic power, other)
prevent the planned output from occurring, the Off –Rate alarm will be displayed for the system
not meeting its programmed rate (granular, pre-wet or anti-ice).
Maximum Speed Alarm
As part of the system setup, an alarm can be set when the vehicle exceeds a chosen speed.
The system will beep and flash the speed reading on the screen. The alarm stops when
vehicle speed is reduced below the programmed speed maximum.
Manual Mode – Ground speed triggered
Manual mode allows the operator to adjust his output settings as a % of output capacity
without a calibrated “pounds/mile” setting. In manual mode, output rates are displayed as a
percentage of full-scale output and are ground speed triggered (meaning they turn on to the set
rate when the truck starts moving, and stop with the truck). A proper ground speed signal is
necessary to allow operation in manual mode. If no ground speed signal can be established,
convert to “no speedometer” mode or to “test” mode.
Manual mode is the default-operating mode before the system has been trimmed. It
allows manual dispensing of material with a minimum amount of system set up. You select
manual mode from the mode screen by scrolling the arrow to “manual” and pushing “pass”.
No data logging occurs in manual operation mode.
No Speedometer Mode – Ground speed simulated
This mode is the backup-operating mode for SpreadSmart Rx in the event that the speedometer
sensor fails and the driver wishes to continue to dispense material prior to repair. In a trimmed
truck, select “no speedometer mode from the mode menu” and the output rates will be displayed
in pounds per lane mile and gallons per ton, (as in automatic mode). If the unit is not trimmed,
rates will be displayed in percent of full scale and operation will be open loop, as in manual
mode. Refer to the following table for details about “no speedometer”-operating operating mode:
