This procedure is used to verify the calibration of systems
WITH an optional remote run/hold kit installed. In order to
achieve accurate measurements, each step in this fine tuning
procedure should be performed as precisely as possible.
NOTE: If your system does not have an optional run/hold
kit installed, refer to page 32 for instructions.
PREPARATION
• Once the system is fully installed and calibrated, se lect a
straight tract of ground that is similar to your ac tu al field
conditions and as level as pos si ble.
NOTE: Us ing a course with a different ground sur face,
such as a hard-surface road, will re sult in dif fer ent
read ings than exact field con di tions.
• Measure a distance of 1000 feet (500 meters). Clear ly
mark the beginning and end points with flags or some-
thing highly visible to the operator.
PROCEDURE
1. With the console turned ON, place the Run/Hold switch
in the HOLD position. The display will read HOLD. Turn
the rotary dial to the “DISTANCE” position. Be sure the
display shows 0. If not, reset the distance counter by
pressing and holding “RESET” until the display returns to
0 (approximately three seconds).
2. You are now ready to drive the measured course. Pick
a location on the vehicle to use as a marker for starting
and stopping the distance counting function (door
handle, mirror, step, etc.). You should begin driving the
course well ahead of the starting flag and drive past the
ending flag, using the Run/Hold switch to start and stop
the counting function. It is not recommended to start
from a dead stop at the starting flag and stop at the
ending flag.
3. Place the Run/Hold switch in RUN, when the marker
on the vehicle passes the starting flag, to activate the
distance counting function. The console display numbers
will increase, adding to the distance total as you drive.
Drive the pre-measured course and place the Run/Hold
switch in HOLD, when the marker on the vehicle passes
the ending flag, to stop the distance counting function.
The console display should read “HOLD”. See Illustration
45. Stop the vehicle in a level and safe area and continue
with this procedure.
4. With the rotary dial still at DISTANCE (CIRC), press and
hold the “CAL” key for three seconds. Once the con sole
is in “CAL,” the display will alternate be tween the cir-
cum fer ence value and the distance measured at about
three-second intervals. (When the word “CAL” appears,
the num ber dis played is the wheel circumference (CIRC)
value. When the word “CAL” does not appear, that is the
dis tance value.) See Illustration 40.
5. When the display shows distance (“CAL” is not
displayed), ver i fy wheth er the number displayed is the
ex act dis tance you drove (with in “+” or “-” 1 - 2 %). If not,
while the display shows distance, press the “+” or “-” key
to ad just the fig ure to match the dis tance you ac tu al ly
drove. If the display reads too high, use the “-” key to
lower the dis played value. If the display reads too low,
use the “+” key to raise the displayed value.
6. When the number shown on the display match es (as
close ly as possible) the ac tu al dis tance driv en, you have
ar rived at the cor rect cal i bra tion val ue. If you can not
adjust the displayed distance to exactly match the actual
dis tance driven, adjust the figure as close as possible to
the actual distance. Then exit “CAL” by pressing “CAL”
for three seconds.
NOTE: If you let go of the “+” and “-” keys while you are
ad just ing the distance value, the console will wait to
make sure you are finished. After 64 sec onds, the dis play
will start al ter nat ing be tween the dis tance and wheel
circumference (CIRC) values again. Make sure you know
which value you are adjusting.
The speed sen sor is now calibrated. To verify proper
calibration, repeat the procedure a sec ond time. Write down
the new wheel cir cum fer ence (CIRC) number and keep it
in a safe place. If the cal i bra tion values are ever ac ci dent ly
changed, you can simply re-en ter this num ber.
