operator can start spreading as soon as the truck moves.  When set to “no” the 
SpreadSmart Rx will power up and hold at the “mode screen” for the operator to choose 
his operating mode before beginning spreading. 

z)

 

Driver ID Required:  answer yes to require the driver to enter his ID # to enable the 
system. 

aa)

 

Temp Sensor Protocol:  allows user to set SS Rx for both brands of temp sensors: 

a.

 

RS232 =  Road Watch Brand (RW01-discontinued) 

b.

 

RS485 = Road Watch SS (current) or QTT Surface Patrol Brand 

Auger / Conveyor Set up and Trimming   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1)

 

To trim the auger, power the unit up.  Once the “menu” screen is displayed, select the 
yellow system set up button to enter the configuration menu.  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 setup mode. 

2)

 

Using the spinner button, select “Trim/Cal”, then select auger.  The screen will now 
display the auger settings.   

a.

 

Auger Present: default is yes; 

b.

 

Sensor Present:  choose NPN, PNP or No;  Default is NPN; 

c.

 

Minimum Trim:  do not adjust yet; 

d.

 

Maximum Trim: do not adjust yet; 

e.

 

Auger Units:  choose either pounds per mile or ponds per lane mile (LN-MI); 

f.

 

Show as Conveyor:  choose “no” to have the display use the word “auger.”  
Choose “yes” to have the display show the word conveyor. 

g.

 

Capacity in Tons (kg) – default setting is 10 tons.  This value is used in 
conjunction with the load and rate calculator to verify that the amount of salt 
needed to meet the route & rate guidelines actually can be carried by the truck.  
Set up personnel should adjust this value to match the maximum tons of granular 
material the truck can carry.  

3)

 

Press the spinner control until the minimum trim setting is selected.   

4)

 

Press 

“pass”

 to enter trim calibration.   

5)

 

Choose either automatic (requires sensor) or manual (with or without sensor) calibration.  
The unit can automatically calibrate the trim settings using the sensor as feedback.  (see 
“automatic” to continue).  Automatic is recommended for most trucks If you wish to 
manually trim the auger (faster for more experienced users), scroll and select manual trim 
(see manual calibration for rest of instructions). 

Manual Auger / Conveyor trimming (closed or open loop) 

If you selected manual calibration, you must manually raise the hydraulic level using the auger 
button and either observe the pulse count returning from the sensor (if equipped) or visually 

WARNING 

 

Potential for injury due to unexpected 
operation of auger. 

Entanglement in the auger will cause 
severe injury to extremities, with pos-
sible loss of extremities. 

During initial startup and te sting, the 
auger may start without warning.  Stay 
clear of the auger during all startup, 
programming, and operation proce-
dures. 

Do not attempt to  clear a jammed au-
ger with the hydraulic or control  sys-
tem active.
