Operating Instructions- Other Settings
Advanced calibration: This category of settings is the closed loop control settings for the
hydraulics. These settings are set at the factory and rarely need to be changed. Please contact
Cirus Controls with any questions about these settings.
Other Settings- Return to Set Up Wizard
Enter the configuration menu as before and select:
Set Up Wizard: system will run the set up wizard but will retain previous settings until you
change them.
Reset All: This selection will clear all calibration data, reset the unit to factory defaults and resets
the Set up Wizard. If you choose this action, you will be asked to confirm your selection before
the unit is reset, to prevent accidental erasure of calibration settings. Use this selection to clear all
memory and begin configuration with factory defaults.
Configuration of System without using Set up Wizard
Power up the unit & when the “menu” screen is displayed, press the yellow system setup button
to enter the configuration menu. 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 positions. Run the
cursor past the end of the password to enter “Configuration screen”. Because changing settings
without authorization can result in performance variation, this password should only be given to
authorized personnel. Move the arrow to “System set up” and select “pass” to enter the system
set up.
Summary of Setup Parameters
a)
Truck ID: allows administrator to specifically identify the truck this
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
is installed in. This ID will be displayed on all truck specific data recorded by the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
. Up to 24 alpha and/or numeric characters may be entered using
“spinner up” to scroll through letters, “spinner down” to scroll through numbers and blast
to move the cursor left or pass to move the cursor down. Any number of characters (up
to 24) may be used for ID. When your ID characters are entered, use “pass” to scroll to
the right to complete the ID and allow you to use “spinner” to move to the next step.
b)
Units (of measure): records data and performs calculations in Standard (English) or
Metric units. All data will be reported in the units chosen. Changing this setting will
switch the unit to the preferred measurement system. Standard mode uses miles, pounds,
gallons, and tons, - metric mode uses kilometers, kilograms, liters, and tons. Once you
select a choice, all data must be input in those units. Mixed units will cause problems.
c)
PWM Frequency: this value is set at the factory to match the frequency of the hydraulic
valve coils in use. Normal operation does not include changing this value.
d)
Allow Dry Run: This setting allows the operator to keep dispensing pre-wet or anti-ice
material even if the flow sensor fails (applies to closed loop system only). This is set to
NO by default to prevent the pre-wet pump from burning up if the flow meter detects no
liquid flow (for example if the tank is empty). The pump automatically shuts off if this is
the case. If this setting is set to YES, the operator can override this safety feature and
continue dispensing pre-wet material in the case that there is a sensor failure.
e)
Password Test: this feature allows the supervisor to set a password for the “Test”
operating mode to stop unauthorized operators from entering mode. Default is “yes.”
f)
Password Manual: this feature allows the supervisor to set a password for the “Manual”-
operating operating mode to prevent unauthorized operators from entering that mode.
Default is set to “no” since manual mode is a common operating mode.
