Installation Step 3: Calibrate the EXM2 System
NOTE: If calibration was completed during the previous step, skip step 3.
After successfully installing the system, the system must be calibrated. Calibrating the EXM2
monitor’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM2 systems.
If it was necessary to configure your system using Wi-Fi, calibration can also be done via the
Wi-Fi interface. See the EXM2 System Configuration Manual (P/N 98612001) for configuration
instructions. You can find the most current manual at www.elkhartbrass.com.
Setup Mode with Controllers
Before the EXM2 system can be calibrated, the system must be put into Setup Mode. To
bring the system into Setup Mode simply press and hold the FOG and STREAM buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds (On the joystick use the PRESET and AUX buttons).
• When the system has successfully been brought into Setup Mode, the status LED on the monitor will
be lit (magenta) and the status LED on all input controllers will be lit (magenta).
• Once in Setup Mode a user can perform horizontal and vertical calibration of the monitor as well as
set travel limits, travel keep out zones, stow position, change motor speeds, etc.
• When in Setup Mode the RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN buttons function normally, but valve OPEN,
CLOSE, and PRESET do not control the valve. Instead, they are used for entering setup commands.
• To exit Setup Mode simply press and release the FOG and STREAM buttons simultaneously one time
(On the joystick use the PRESET and AUX buttons). The status LED (magenta) on the monitor and the
status LED (magenta) on the input controller will turn off (The joystick status LED will turn solid green).
• Changes made will not take effect until after exiting Setup Mode. Setup Mode will automatically be
exited after five minutes of no user inputs.
!
Caution:
There are no vertical or horizontal travel limits when in Setup Mode. MOVE THE
MONITOR WITH CAUTION WHILE IN THIS MODE. If monitor is obstructed by an object or
by itself, the motors may over current and need to be moved manually out of the
interfering object’s way.
Calibrating Horizontal and Vertical Rotation with Controllers
Calibrating the EXM2 system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM2
systems of all types. The calibration points serve as a starting point for all other motion limits
and commands entered to the EXM2 system. If not properly calibrated, the system may not
operate correctly.
• Enter Setup Mode
• Calibrating Horizontal Rotation - This calibration process will establish the zero (0˚) horizontal position
and allow rotation half to the left and half to the right of the total rotation range specified during system
configuration (i.e. 175 degrees left and 175 degrees right of center for a total of 350 degrees of travel. For
Sidewinder EXM2 UHP 90 degrees left and 90 degrees right of center for a total of 180 degrees of travel).
• Using RIGHT & LEFT controls, position the monitor in the location you want to be the center of
the allowed range of horizontal travel (i.e. the 0˚ horizontal position).
