If the Closed loop mode is selected for Conveyor, V-Flow or Return Oil mode for Prewet, and 1Boom is selected
for Anti-icing it is able to run Auto Null.
--- Manual Mode-(M)
This mode allows the driver to manually control the spread rate. Each setting on the Conveyor Dial 1–9 is a
percentage of maximum valve null setting. The display will show “M” beside solid material name on the
operation screen.
--- 12 Volt Triggered Manual Mode-(T)
In addition to manual mode operation, this mode allows the controller to start and stop the spreader based on a
12V input signal. The display will show “T” on the screen.
--- Ground Speed Triggered Manual Mode-(G)
In addition to manual mode operation, this mode will start and stop the spreader based on ground speed input.
The display will show “G” on the screen.
--- Open Loop Mode-(O)
This mode utilizes the ground speed sensor only to regulate the amount of material that will be dispensed off the
vehicle. There are 9 configurable application rate settings available. The display will show “O” on the screen.
--- Closed Loop Mode-(C)
This mode utilizes both a conveyor and ground speed sensor to regulate the amount of material that will be
dispensed off the vehicle. There are 9 configurable application rate settings available. The display will show “C”
on the screen.
-- Off
This turns off the valves. The display will show “N” beside liquid material.
-- V-Flow (Prewet only)
In this mode the liquid system has an inline flow meter which measures flow rate using a pulse rate. The
controller will control the liquid flow to be a constant fraction of the conveyor solid flow. The fraction is specified
as liters/tonne or gallon/ton. The display will show “V” beside liquid material on the operation screen.
-- Return Oil to Pre-wet (Prewet only)
The pre-wet system consists of a limited flow pump driven by the conveyor motor exhaust oil, but with an
additional on-off control signal which is needed to enable the flow. The display will show “R” beside liquid
material on the operation screen.
-- 1 BOOM (anti-icing only)
This is a closed loop controller which uses a feedback signal from both the ground speed sensor and the anti-
ice flow meter to apply the desired application rate in units of volume per distance travelled. The display will
show “1” beside anti-ice material on the operation screen.
6.3
Sensor
Determine the number of pulses per revolution of conveyor motor you are using, and enter this value in the
‘sensor’ field, when closed loop mode is selected. During nulling or auto-nulling, this line will show the actual
conveyor speed.
