squirt a little longer paint pattern than the electrical system commands. The "hanging on" also
causes some variation in stripe length with truck speed. The effect will be most evident at high
truck speed.
If a paint gun hangs on for .050 second, the error will be 1.1 foot at 15 mph.
The STRIPE length can be calibrated by adjusting the GUN FACTOR for each gun. The Gun
Factor number delays the turn-on time of the paint to equal the turn-off time of the paint gun
when adjusted correctly.
Find the instructions for setting GUN FACTOR in the SETUP MENU.
BEAD REGISTRATION (BEADS MENU)
These controls help to position the beads over the paint pattern. The edges of the bead pattern
can be moved relative to the paint pattern. The BEGINNING control affects the "turn on" part
of the bead pattern. The END control affects the "turn off" part of the bead pattern.
The numbers represent tenths-of-a-foot adjustments, (+) means move the beads forward on the
pavement, (-) means move the beads backwards on the pavement. The correction is not perfect,
it depends on speed and agility of your paint guns.
