STEP C - Post Delivery Functional Test
In Non-Speedo mode verify system functions and is stable at the ground speed and delivery rates
the customer expects.
For trouble shooting ideas, see the trouble shooting section of this manual or the diagnostics
screen in the SpreadSmart Rx mode screen.
Note: it is recommended that you save all settings after completion of all system setup and
calibration to a PC for safekeeping. In the event of loss of this setting information, it can be
uploaded from the stored file in a matter of minutes.
Storing this information is described in
the section of the manual “Other Downloads.
Managing Materials – Granular, Pre-Wet and Anti-Ice
For maximum flexibility of operation,
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
allows you to define operating
programs by using the “Name” to designate either a different material (salt/sand; Brine/KCl, etc);
or to designate a different material distribution rate (Salt 500, Salt 1000, etc); or to use several of
each within the 10 choices/material the system offers. The word “material” is used for
consistency even though you are allowed to name either a “unique material” (salt or sand) or a
unique set of distribution conditions for the same actual material (salt, salt 500, salt abc, etc.).
To enter the materials screen:
1)
Enter configuration menu by selecting the yellow “system setup” button. You will be asked
for a password, enter “_____” 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”. Changing settings without authorization can result in
performance variations; password should only be given to authorized personnel.
2)
Move the arrow to “materials” and select “pass” to enter the materials screen.
Choose the material you wish to define your settings for (granular, pre-wet or anti-ice) and
make the following four settings for each individual “material” you wish to “name.”
1)
Name: Up to 10 granular programs, 10 pre-wet programs and 10 anti-ice programs) can be
defined (each named with up to 8 characters). In normal operation, the operator selects his
material from those defined on this list. The “name” is used to identify the ten different
material types or distribution settings. Ex: “Salt” is often used generically and doesn’t have
a pre-programmed distribution rate. The operator is then free to adjust his distribution rate
using the Auger button. “Salt 500” is a pre-programmed setting that could deliver 500 lbs /
lane mile of salt. In that case, the operator cannot change the rate without changing material
type. This also applies for pre-wet and anti-ice.
2)
Min and Max Rate settings for each material: These are the lowest and highest settings the
operator can select while in automatic mode, in pounds per lane mile. The system allows the
minimum to be set at 0 and the max at 9999. In typical applications, minimum is usually set
no lower than 100 lbs and maximum not above 3,000 lbs.
To “pre-program” a specific rate, set the min and max at the same value (eg. 500lbs/lane
mile), thereby “locking” the rate only at that value for that material.
3)
Blast mode setting: is the number of pounds per lane mile that are dispensed when the truck
is in blast mode (automatic mode only).
