Small and large rate change increment settings: are the amount that the dispensed rates are
changed when the rate button is pressed, and how much the rates are changed when the rate
button is pressed and held.
Choosing a material name and recording data:
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
records all spreading output for each uniquely named material. The
Spreading Performance Report uses this information to produce combined material reports and
individual reports for each named material. To ensure integrity in the combined materials reports,
material names are limited to 8 characters and must follow this convention:
Material Name must be consistent:
all materials named Salt with a space following
the “t”
will add correctly
together in the following example.
a.
Salt
b.
Salt 500
c.
Salt 1000
Inconsistent Material Names will not add together correctly
d.
Salt500
e.
Salt 1000
f.
Salt Special
Note: This naming convention affects the combined material reports and if not followed
consistently, will make the summary reports inaccurate.
Changing “Materials” program during normal operation
Once your materials set up is complete, an operator can select any programmed choice by
selecting “materials change” from the main “mode” screen before the system drops into
automatic operation mode. From there, the operator can choose any of the programmed material
types designated in the prior section.
Temp Response
TM
Prescription Set Up – for each material type
For any material type, you can also create up to four
Temp Response™
prescriptions to
automatically change spreading rates as a function of road temperature. The user, for their local
conditions, determines the actual temperature/spreading rate relationship.
Temp Response™
prescriptions can be run for one material (salt) or for combinations (salt and pre-wet), but each is
configured individually. English or Metric units are shown based on the system setup choice.
To set a temperature controlled, granular spreading prescription,
enter configuration menu
by selecting the yellow “system setup” button. Enter your password 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 setup mode.
Scroll down to Prescription, Use “Anti-Ice” paddle to select Prescription RX1- RX4. Incomplete
prescriptions are listed as “undefined.” Up to four prescriptions are can be created for each
media type (Granular = 4; Pre-Wet =4; Anti-Ice = 4).
