SAM 400 SPEED-AREA-DISTANCE METER
5
Forward Speed Display - Channel 1
Channel 1 displays the current forward speed.
Forward speed is measured via a sensor suitably mounted to a wheel hub or
a convenient location to the vehicle drivetrain. Speed is displayed either in
miles/hr or km/hr according to the units selected in the CAL Mode.
NOTE: In order to display the correct speed and accumulate distance correctly, the
instrument must be programmed with the correct Speed Sensor Factor
(SSF).
Forward Speed Alarm Outputs
There are two programmable alarm thresholds - a 'Maximum Speed' alarm
and a 'High Speed' Alarm. Each alarm also operates an output, to control
some aspect of a machines function, e.g. 4-wheel steering, engine cutoff
etc.
Refer to the Calibration section on how to set the alarm thesholds.
Area / Distance Measurement - Channel 2 and 3
View Area / Distance Totals
Channel 2 displays accumulated area and channel 3 displays distance
travelled. Area is calculated from the distance travelled and the implement
working width, and is displayed either in acres or hectares according to the
units selected in the CAL Mode.
NOTE: The accuracy of these totals is dependent on correct speed sensor
calibration, and programmed width.
