COMPACT RADAR - 780
Dj RADAR - 1000
WHEEL SENSOR - 3500
SPEEDOMETER SENSOR - 3500
To view and adjust the speed calibration number:
A. Set the Control Console switches to the following
settings:
1. Power “ON”
2. Mode Selector “SETUP”
3. Display Selector “DISTANCE”
The display shows the distance calibration value.
B. Use the INC/DEC switch to select the initial distance
calibration number suggested. You can now perform
the distance calibration procedure.
DISTANCE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The following procedure is recommended by MIDWEST
TECHNOLOGIES for establishing an accurate distance
calibration. NOTE: All boom switches should remain
“OFF” during the entire procedure.
A. Fill the vehicle 1/2 full of material (unless it is a pull
type unit with the speed sensor mounted on the tow
vehicle), to approximate actual load conditions. This
minimizes the effect on the radar mounting angle or
actual working diameter of the tires as the load
empties.
B. Measure a known distance of 400 ft. or more in a field
or roadway (preferably in terrain similar to that being
treated). Select an easy place in which to maneuver
the vehicle. A longer distance, allows a more accurate
test to be performed.
C. Record the current Distance Cal. #.
1. Turn the Display Selector to the “ DISTANCE”
position.
