Spreader Control screen
• Spread Width
Press
to edit the value.
• Spinner Speed
The spinner speed required for accurate product
placement in relation to the spread width setting.
- The spinner speed is controlled automatically based upon
this setting when the system uses an optional PWM
spinner speed control valve.
- To accurately determine Spinner Speed settings you
should perform a spread pattern catch test. See “Spreader
Control: Static Calibration” on page 285.
• Product Density
This density value (shown in pounds per cubic foot, or lb./ft.3), is stored with each product.
Press
to edit if needed.
Note: For proper machine performance and accuracy, you should check the Product Density daily.
• Feed Gate 1 Opening
Represents the Feed Gate opening for Conveyor 1. Measure the depth of product on the conveyor to
ensure accurate feed gate setting value.
• Conveyor 1 Rate
This setting represents the volume of product dispensed by one revolution of the conveyor drive shaft (cubic
foot per revolution, or ft
3
/rev.) This number is shown with the assumption that the conveyor shaft has a 1-
inch gate opening. This conveyor rate remains constant, regardless of the height of the feed gate opening.
CAUTION: You must either manually enter conveyor rate value or perform a CFR calibration routine for each
product and channel combination, otherwise misapplication will occur.
Conveyor Rate Look-Up
A pop-up screen will display a warning when a product is assigned to a container or bin for the first time
and has not been calibrated. The warning prompts the operator to review product density and conveyor
rate settings.
