    Why flow rate won’t calibrate on Cirus Controls SpreadSmart Rx Spreader?
    • P
      Philip RobertsonSep 5, 2025
      If your Cirus Controls Spreader's flow rate won’t calibrate, consider the following: * Flow meter inaccurate (meter, sensor or cable): Use test mode to compare pulses to the volume of liquid flowing. Replace the meter or sensor if needed. * Units conversion error: The SS Rx must be set in the desired units (English or metric) before any setup occurs. Re-start the complete setup procedure with units set correctly.
