PROGRAMMING GRANULAR APPLICATION
RATES (F2)
The APPLICATION RATE menu lists four granular materials. Each material
screen contains a set of values for product application rate, APR steps, min/
max limits, and blast rate. The pre-programmed values are usually the
same for all granular materials but may be edited and modified as required.
1. From the keyboard, press Function key F2 to obtain the GRANULAR
APPLICATION RATES screen, refer to (Figure 32). Four (4) granular
product names appear, each followed by the word ENABLED or
DISABLED.
2. Select a material using the corresponding number key.
3. Edit the parameters on the screen.
Check each following item for the desired setting.
– ENABLE - When enabled, the material appears on the MATERIAL/
MANUAL SPEED SELECT screen of the Operate mode for
selecting. Enter Y for YES (enabled), N for NO (disabled).
At least one granular material must be enabled unless console is
used for anti-icing, then all granulars can be disabled. All products
can be programmed (and calibrated) now and selected from the
Operate mode later.
– STEP METHD - Y (YES) selects the Step method or N (NO) the
Rate method to specify application rates (APRs). Since each
method performs essentially the same function, the choice
becomes a personal preference. However, the parameters for each
method are different and all items below change with the selection
(See Figure 33 for Rate Method screens).
Changing from one APR method to the other for any material
automatically clears all previous rates from that method.
The STEP method permits the APR to be changed by a fixed
increment using the “+/–” switch on the Switch Module. The RATE
method allows programming of up to ten (10) different APRs -
RATE 1 through RATE 10. If less than ten rates are chosen, enter a
zero (0) for each rate following the last one programmed. The initial
rate displayed in the OPERATE mode is RATE 1. Other rates are
selected by pressing the “+/–” switch on the Switch Module.
