TANK CAPCAITY This is the maximum holding capacity of the tank. NOTE: The alarm is only active when the Master Switch is in the AUTO position. The alarm will activate audible and visual signals when the tank level drops below the TANK ALARM. When the Master Switch is turned OFF and then returns to AUTO, the alarm will NOT be reissued until the level goes above the TANK ALARM plus the 5% hysteresis or until the unit has been turned off. Gate Height Sensor This sensor will compensate for changes in the gate height from the original calibrated gate setting, allowing the application of granular material to be more accurate by adjusting the conveyor speed to maintain the selected application rate based on the current gate height. (IE. If the gate height is increased, the conveyor will slow down and if the gate height is decreased the conveyor will speed up.) The gate height sensor is to be connected to the main harness lead labeled GATE on the current Control Point harnesses and PRES- SURE on the earlier version harnesses. Versions 6.10 and newer software have removed pressure control from the Control Point. The new software now utilizes the pressure sensor input for the gate height. If you have a pressure controlled liquid system you can not use the version 6.10 or newer software. When enabled, the gate height will be displayed to the nearest .1 of an inch or 1 centimeter in the lower right corner of the operate screen. The configuration and calibration of the gate height sensor is found under Miscellaneous (F12), More (6), Gate Height Sensor (1). 11001-1258-200311 Control Point version 6.40 software addendum 5
The initial gate height screen has a YES or NO option for the sensor configuration. Press N for NO and Y for YES. The default for the gate height is NO. If NO the following screen will appear. If YES the following screen will appear. Settings 1-5, Open and Closed There are 7 user definable gate heights to enter, which will aid in the gate height calibration. Enter 7 gate height settings that will be used when spreading material. CALIBRATION To calibrate the gate height sensor, complete the following steps. Calibration Steps 1. Notice that the cursor on the left side of the screen and position it to point at CLOSED. 2. Set the gate to the closed position. 3. Measure the height at the closed position and enter the gate height value for the CLOSED setting. 4. Press C to capture the current gate height voltage at the CLOSED setting. 5. Move the cursor to SETTING 1 by pressing Enter or the down arrow. 6. Set the gate to the lowest operating gate height setting. 7. Measure the height at SETTING 1 and enter the gate height value for SETTING 1. 8. Press C to capture the current gate height voltage for SETTING 1. 9. Repeat steps 5-8 for the SETTINGS 2-5 starting with the next lowest setting. 10. Move the cursor on the calibration screen to the OPEN setting. 11. Set the gate to the OPEN height. 12. Measure the height at the FULL open position and enter the gate height for the OPEN setting. 13. Press C to capture the current gate height voltage at the OPEN setting. 14. Press Esc when complete. *When calibrating the gate height not all of the 7 positions need to be calibrated. The only required calibration positions are CLOSED and OPEN. Settings 1-5 were added for better accuracy at the operator’s desired gate heights. If a 2 point calibration is desired, enter the gate height value for the CLOSED and OPEN positions and capture their respective voltages. Then individually select settings 1-5 and press “D” to delete them. Press “ESC” when finished. To reenable settings 1-5 select the desired setting with the gate at the correct position and press “C”. Once the voltage is captured, enter the gate height setting. 6 Control Point version 6.40 software addendum 11001-1258-200311
