OPERATION
Auto/Manual Button
-
Manual mode is the default mode at power up. Manual mode will pulse nozzle
valves at the duty cycle percentage selected by the increase/decrease buttons. The Manual mode is used
in the event that the SSRS Display fails to automatically control pressure. It is not necessary to change
tips.
Manual Mode can also be used to close all nozzle valves. By toggling down to 10% duty cycle, then
pressing decrease once more. This will close all solenoids and the diagnostic readout will show “OFF”.
NOTE: In the Manual mode the increase/decrease buttons act like an electronic rotary nozzle body
with an “infinite” number of tips that can be selected by the operator.
