5.3 Tandem Beads
Tandem beads (also called double-drop
bead systems) allow two different types
of bead materials to be applied from two aligned bead guns in the same pass,
including standard bead mixes, premium bead mixes, high-friction grit, high
retroreflectivity materials (3M Element), or curing agents (Potter's VisiLok).
This function can be provided either using a toggle switch, or through the Quick
Setup menu.
The Quick Setup function that enables this feature is labeled Tandem Beads and
has the options of Tandem/Front/Rear. This function selects between both
bead guns (double-drop), the front gun, or the rear gun (respectively) to be
active during striping operations.
5.4 In-Field Software Updates
Software updates can be applied to Skip-Line skip timers in the field using a file,
delivered via email or web download, placed on a USB flash drive.
This provides a quick and easy way to provide new features, functionality, or bug
fixes remotely without vehicle down time.
There may be one or more files. Follow this procedure to accomplish the update
on the skip timer:
1. From a PC, download all email attachments or Internet links to files.
2. Place all files in a folder called
updates
on the root of the USB drive from a computer.
3. Close all file explorer windows. Properly eject the USB drive.
4. With the skip timer system powered off, insert the USB drive.
5. Power on the skip timer. The skip timer should detect the USB drive, find the files, and
commence with the update.
6. Once the update is complete, remove USB drive and power cycle the device.
7. Verify the new functionality is in place.
The new software should now be installed on the skip timer system. Note that
updates for other devices (with the exception of CVO-312 devices) will have
received their updates through the communications network at the same time.
