Console Programming and Calibration
Important: The new Speed Cal value must be rounded to the nearest whole number.
7. Enter the adjusted Speed Cal value.
8. Recheck the new Speed Cal value by repeating the steps above.
Refining the Speed Cal Value - Phoenix 10 Speed Sensors Only
The initial Speed Cal value when using the Phoenix 10 speed sensor is 785 [200]. However, after initial
console programming, it may be necessary to refine this number to improve the system’s performance.
Complete the following steps to refine the speed cal value:
1. Verify the SCS 660 console is powered ON.
2. Press the DISTANCE button on the SCS 660 console.
3. Enter 0 as the value.
4. Drive 1 mile [1 km].
Note: Do not use the vehicle’s odometer to determine the distance. Use highway markers or section
lines to measure the distance traveled. To achieve the most accurate calibration, accelerate and
decelerate slowly.
5. Check the value in the display. It should be approximately 5280 [1000]. If the value is between 5260 - 5300
[990 - 1010], the speed cal value for the machine is 785 [200]. If the value is any other value, use the
following formula to recalculate the speed cal value.
For Example: Assume that the DISTANCE value is actually displayed as 5000 [980].
Important: The new Speed Cal value must be rounded to the nearest whole number.
6. Enter the adjusted Speed Cal value.
7. Recheck the new Speed Cal value by repeating the steps above.
Refining the Spreader Constant Value
The initial Spreader Constant value was calculated in the Calculate the Spreader Constant Value section on
page 6. However, after initial console programming it is recommended that this value be verified and refined to
improve the system’s performance. Complete the following steps to refine the spreader constant value:
1. Load the vehicle with the product to be used.
2. Weigh the loaded vehicle and write down the weight.
3. Press the METER CAL button and enter the product density in lbs./cu. ft. [grams/liter].
[152] x [1000] = 155 [metric]

Old SPEED CAL X 5280 = Adjusted Speed Cal
DISTANCE VALUE
785 X 5280 = 743.4 (English)
