Optional Equipment
In Dash Mount on International Cabs
The color display is also available with mounting hardware for installation into the dash
board cubby hole on International Trucks.
Temperature Sensor
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
is capable of receiving temperature data from the following sensors:
a) Road Watch – Protocol = RS485 setting; Input connector = DB-9;
b) QTT Surface Patrol - Protocol = RS485 setting; Input connector = DB-9
Note: To operate correctly, the protocol must be set to match the brand of Temp
Sensor plugged into the system. See the system set up detail to correctly set the
protocol.
Prior versions of SS Rx required a jumper change to match sensor brand.
Jumpers are no longer required for temp sensors.
GPS Receiver
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
is capable of receiving positional data from a compatible GPS
receiver, the Garmin 17N and recording it onto its optional SD card. Download of GPS data
requires the use of the optional Drive by Download system. Installation instructions are included
with the system when purchased.
GPS Data: real time GPS data is displayed in three modes on the SpreadSmart Rx.
GPS Data Screen: this screen displays all of the data being received by the system: Current
Latitude, Longitude, Current Date and Time (shown in Greenwich Mean Time-GMT), current
speed and current direction of travel (compass). This screen is accessed from the mode menu.
1) Power system up.
2) Before the system drops into automatic mode (10 seconds on a calibrated truck), hold
the “auger” button down and the “pre-wet” button up to enter the GPS data screen.
This screen displays data and no operator changes are available. This screen is not accessible
while the truck is in any normal operating mode (i.e. while the truck is moving and spreading).
Diagnostics or Test Mode
: this operating mode includes display of latitude and longitude and is
normally used for system level testing and not for “regular spreading of material.”
Drive by Download
TM
(DBD3.x)
System Overview: This optional system includes a high volume data storage device (SD
card) and the hardware to download stored data using a wireless connection with a base station
computer (known by its trade name:
Drive By Download
TM
). The software installed on the base
station PC called Data Analysis Tool (DAT) manages the process of downloading data from the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
to the base station and tracks/displays the “download status” of each truck in
the DBD network. Once the spreading data has arrived on the base station computer, software
called
DAT
is used to create spreading performance reports that allow the user to analyze the
performance of one or several trucks over any time period for which there is stored data.
Download Frequency
For the smoothest data transfer operation, we recommend that
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
data be
downloaded each time the truck returns to the base station from a spreading run. The “download
