3)
Hold RPM constant while unit is calibrating. This may take as much as two minutes.
(You may cancel the trim test at any time using the blast key.)
4)
Once the automatic trim calibration test is completed, the user is asked to “accept
calibration”. Select “Y” using the spinner control, and then press pass.
5)
Press blast to accept all settings.
Trimming and Calibration is complete, select blast again to save and return to main menu.
Manual Pre-Wet Pump Trimming and Max Flow Setting
If you selected manual trimming, you must manually raise the hydraulic level using the pre-wet
button, and either observe the pulse count returning from the flow sensor (if equipped) or visually
observe fluid being dispensed.
1)
Raise the hydraulic level (pre-wet toggle) until the pre-wet pump is barely pumping.
2)
Press pass to accept minimum trim level.
3)
Increase the hydraulic level until maximum pre-wet fluid flow is achieved.
4)
Press pass again to accept the maximum trim levels.
5)
Once the maximum trim level is accepted, the user is asked to “accept calibration”.
Select “Y” using the spinner control, and then press pass.
If the vehicle does not have a pre-wet flow meter, open loop trimming is used. In this case, enter
the maximum pump flow for the pump installed (gallons or liters /minute), the
SpreadSmart
TM
unit will use this value to calculate the amount of pre-wet material dispensed. In an open loop
system, recording of amount of material dispensed by the system is based on a system that is not
“calibrated” and therefore is not a “certifiable” value.
Anti-Ice System – Configuration and Trimming Steps
1)
To configure the anti-ice system, power the unit up. Once the “menu screen is on,
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”, and scroll down to “anti-ice” and push
pass to select. This will put you at the Anti-Ice Setup and make selections. Use Anti-Ice
+/- to toggle between Yes (Y) and No (N).
a)
Anti-Ice Present – answer yes to activate system;
b)
Sensor Present – Sensor Present: choose NPN, PNP or No; Default is NPN;
c)
Minimum Trim – do not adjust value from factory pre-sets until the next section…trimming.
d)
Maximum Trim – do not adjust value from factory pre-sets until the next section…trimming.
e)
Multi-Tier System – yes for two tier system, no for single tier boom system;
f)
Anti-Ice uses Prewet channel: answer yes for special use of pre-wet plumbing and extra
spraying apparatus controlled like Anti-Ice, but using Pre wet hydraulics. Special use only.
h.
Pulses per Gallon: enter the pulses per gallon rating of your flow meter. Refer to
flow meter manufacturer to determine the signal pulses sent by the flow meter for
each gallon (or liter if set in metric mode).
Micro-Trak FM500 – flow meter used by Cirus Controls
b)
Gallons:
Pulses per gallon = Flow cal number / 2
c)
Liters: Pulses per gallon = Flow cal number / 7.58
Raven brand flow meters are listed in pulses per 10 gallons.
d)
divide the flow meter rating by 10 and input that value
.
