To enter or change any of the system's calibration values,
you must enter calibration.
NOTE: UNITS (English or Metric) must be set in
"Special" Calibrate before any other CALIBRATE or
"SPECIAL" CALIBRATE values.
Calibration Procedure:
1. Turn the sections OFF or put the system in HOLD.
2. Hold the BLAST key for 1 second. The CAL icon will
be visible and calibration values can be viewed and
edited.
3. Select calibration position with rotary selector.
Calibration positions are identified by the WHITE
labeling on each side of the rotary selector.
4. Edit calibration values by using the "+" and "
−
"
but tons on the front panel. Switch between
calibration positions as needed. (See CALIBRATION
SEQUENCE section for recommended sequence)
5. Hold BLAST key for 1 second to save changes and
exit calibration mode. The CAL icon will disappear
and operations can resume. If you do not wish to
save your changes, reboot console without pressing
BLAST – original values will return.
If the Console is
unlocked
, the Warning LED will also turn
ON and any of the CALIBRATE values can be adjusted.
If the Console is
locked,
the Warning LED will not turn
ON and the CALIBRATE (except TEST SPEED) values
can only be viewed and cannot be adjusted. TEST
SPEED is active whether locked or unlocked.

DEFINITIONS OF LANE, AG, DUST AND TURF
MODES:
LANE:
Used for Highway Maintenance Applications
where Area is accumulated in Units of Lane Miles
(Lane Km). Distance is in Units of Miles (Km) and
Application Rate is in amount of liquid per Lane Mile
(Lane Km).
AGRICULTURAL:
Mainly used for roadside spraying,
where Area is in acres (hectares), Distance is in feet
(meters) and Application Rates are in Gallons/Acre
(liters/meter
2
).
DUST CONTROL:
Used for controlling suspended
particulates, where Area is in square yards (square
meters), Distance is in yards (meters) and Application
Rates are in Gallons/Yard
2
(liters/meter
2
).
TURF (English Only):
Where Area is in 1000 square
feet, Distance is in feet and Application Rates are in
Gallons/1000 feet
2
.
NOTE: A Mode change CLEARS the counters if
Calibration is exited correctly. If power to the
console is turned OFF before exiting Calibration,
the counters are NOT cleared.
MODE SELECT:
MODE SELECT allows the user to
change the MODE. Pressing the
"+" or
"−"
(reset) will toggle between Lane, Ag,
Dust and Turf (except in Metric) MODE
and the display will
show LAnE, Ag,
dUSt and turF.

CALIBRATION SEQUENCE
Once in calibration mode, you may change any one,
all, or none of the values, in any order, but it is very
important to set MODE
first
. MODE SELECT defines the
unit of measurement for all system calculations.
Note: TEST SPEED is NOT a calibration setting. It
simulates vehicle speed during Pre-Application
System Checkout. This procedure is described on
page 26.
TARGET RATE:
Selecting TARGET RATE (in English)
displays the desired application rate in these units:
LANE
mode - Gallons per Lane Mile
AG
mode - Gallons per Acre
DUST
mode - Gallons per Sq. Yard
TURF
mode - Gallons per 1000 Sq. Feet
Selecting TARGET
RATE (in Metric)
displays the desired
application rate in
Liters/Lane Km for LANE mode, Liters/Hectare for AG
Mode and Liters/Meters
2
for DUST mode. TURF mode
does not apply to Metric settings. This is the application
rate that the console will lock onto when operating in
AUTO. The Warning LED will flash and Audible Alarm will
sound if enabled whenever the actual application rate is
more than 10% from TARGET RATE.
