MACHINE MODES
There will be two operational modes with both allowing full system functionality. No functional lock-outs
are required other than pump flow interlock (defined in the Safety and Functional Interlocks section
below).
Test Mode
Test mode will be used to test the spray nozzles prior to moving onto the ice surface and to purge cold
water from the plumbing of the FastICE system prior to on-ice application. Test mode runs the system at a
simulated ground speed while the machine is stationary (adjustable parameter within HF-Impulse),
generated by the control module. The FastICE system will operate as though in actual use allowing for
inspection of nozzle spray patterns will be carried out, identifying any plugged or partially plugged
nozzle(s) resulting in a poor, uneven spray pattern and correcting any defects found. The operator may
adjust the application amount setting according to ice conditions using the spray adjust rocker switch.
Automatic Mode
Automatic mode uses the ground speed sensor input to determine real-time ground speed of the ice
resurfacing machine.
This is the standard operating mode for this system.
This ‘live’ ground speed signal is used by the controller to proportionally adjust the speed of the
hydraulically driven ice making water pump, resulting in water flow (to the boom nozzles) delivered to the
boom nozzles being proportional to ground speed. The result is an automatically controlled spray system
providing uniform application thickness regardless of speed variations during the entire resurfacing event.
Automatic Boom Shut-off
Automated shut off of water flow to the upper spray boom (when it is ON) will occur when the ground
speed of the machine falls below a pre-set threshold. The threshold speed is labelled UPPER BOOM SHUT-
OFF SPEED and is set on the Set-up Screen. The boom will turn back on when ground speed exceeds the
set threshold speed.
