Setup Procedure
1.
– POWER = “ON”
- MODE = “SET-UP”
-
DISPLAY = “PRIME”
-
Hold Decrease Switch down & select “GRANULAR/STANDARD
(PUMP C / STANDARD)
2.
- % RATE = “DISPLAY”
- MODE = “SET-UP”
-
Use “Increase” or “Decrease” to set to “0”
3.
Spread Swath (BOOM WIDTH)
-
MODE = “SET-UP”
- DISPLAY = “IMP. WIDTH”
-
BOOM SWITCHES = “OFF”
-
Use “Increase” or “Decrease” to set Boom #1 at desired swath width in inches (not feet)
-
Set Boom #2 - #9 at “0”
- Once complete, turn BOOM SWITCHES to “ON”
-
Set MODE to “OPERATE”
-
Spread swath in number of feet should now appear on screen.
4.
Product Density
-
BOOM SWITCHES = “OFF” - MODE = “SET-UP”
-
DISPLAY = “APPL. RATE”
-
Use “Increase” or “Decrease” to desired material weight per cubic foot.
5.
Spreader Constant
(Calculations of the initial spreader constant require the
following info.)
-
Gate Height (
H
) in inches
- Gate Width (
W
) in inches
-
Number of Sensor Pulses for each revolution of the spreader rate sensor (
P
)
-
Distance conveyor moves during one revolution of the spreader rate sensor (
D
) in inches.
-
Calculate the initial spreader constant as follows:
(
D x W x H)/1728 = FT
-
“
FT
“ = Volume discharged during one revolution of the spreader rate sensor in cu. ft.
-
Continue as follows:
P/FT
= Initial Calibration Number (Spreader Constant)
-
To Enter Constant --
-
MODE = “SET-UP”
- DISPLAY = “TOTAL APPLIED”
-
BOOM SWITCHES = “ON”
-
Use “Increase” or “Decrease” to enter constant number.
6.
Radar Calibration
-
MODE = “SET-UP”
- DISPLAY = “DISTANCE”
-Set at “1000”
7.
BE SURE VALVE IS CLOSED
-
BOOM SWITCHES = “OFF” - POWER= “ON”
-
MODE = “OPERATE”
- DISPLAY = “TOTAL APPLIED”
-
Hold “Increase” switch up until “Closed” position is entered, then release.
-
BOOM SWITCHES = “OFF” - MODE = “OPERATE”
-
DISPLAY = “IMPL. WIDTH”
-
Hold “Increase” switch up until closed or open is shown – (set to “CLOSED” position.)
8.
“G.S.O.” Value
-
BOOM SWITCHES = “OFF” - MODE = “SET-UP”
-
DISPLAY = “SPEED”
-
Set value at “0”
