Cycle
is the distance from the start of one
stripe to the start of the next stripe.
If the cycle is not correct, check your distance
calibration number or check the
troubleshooting guide. Do not adjust this
number as a corrective measure from the
actual distance desired.
To help ensure complete bead coverage, the
Bead Extend
adds a user specified amount of
bead coverage distance to the end of the stripe
length.
When using
Bead Extend
, Bead Offset is also
used to center the additional length. For
example, if 0.5' of bead coverage is desired on
the beginning and end of the stripe, set Bead
Extend to 1.0', and Bead Offset to -0.5'. Then,
during operations, only the Bead Offset will
need to be shifted in order to adjust for truck
speed and wind variables.
