Installation Step 3: Calibrate the EXM System
After successfully configuring the system, the system must be calibrated. Calibrating the EXM
system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.
To view a demonstration of system calibration and entering setup commands go to

to download the appropriate EXM System Instructional Video.
Setup Mode
Before the EXM system can be calibrated, the system must be put into Setup Mode. To bring
the system into Setup Mode 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 blue status LED
on the monitor and the yellow status LED on the input controller (top right corner) will
be lit. (There is no status LED on the joystick, when PRESET & AUX are released, all valve
button LEDs will flash once instead)
Once in Setup Mode a user can set travel limits, travel keep out zones, and stow
position, as well as 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 blue
status LED on the monitor and the yellow status LED on the input controller will turn off
(there is no status LED on the joystick, instead all valve buttons LEDs will flash once).
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
Calibrating the EXM system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM
systems of all types. The calibration points serve as a starting point for all other motion limits
and commands entered to the EXM system. If not properly calibrated, the system may not
operate correctly.
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.
o
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).
