PRODUCT SUMMARY

  • 4 channel, ground speed oriented, open/closed-loop controller with data logging and optional Wi-Fi data transfer
  • Prescription spreading using live road temperature data and/or by programmed rates

PRODUCT APPLICATION

  • Auger/conveyor, spinner, pre-wet and anti-icing (3 booms x 2 tiers)

SPREADING PRECISION

  • Industry-leading spreading precision in closed-loop and open-loop operation

SINGLE OR MULITPLE LANE WIDTH SETTINGS

  • Area spreading in lbs/gal per lane mile (auto adjusts rate for > 1 lane spreading)
  • Linear spreading in lbs/gal per mile (operator controls spinner)

SPREADING RATE DEFINITIONS

  • Customized application rates for granular, pre-wet and anti-icing
  • 10 types for granular, 10 types for pre-wet, 10 types for anti-ice TEMPERATURE-LINKED SPREADING PRESCRIPTIONS
  • Temp Response™ integrates road temperature sensor, controlling granular and liquid application automatically

LOAD AND RATE CALCULATOR AND MATERIAL REMAINING

  • Calculates granular and liquid requirements for each route (miles) and automatically sets system rates per that calculation
  • Auto mode then includes indication for miles, tons, gallons and % remaining

PROPORTIONAL GATE CONTROL

  • Control of optional closed-loop hydraulic gate height and conveyor speed

ENGLISH AND METRIC UNITS STANDARD

  • System operates in English or metric units

DATA LOGGING BY MATERIAL NAME FOR BILLING

  • Select specific application rate definitions and related data logging for specific purpose (i.e., state vs. county vs. city roads)

STORM AND SEASON TOTALS

  • System logs application amounts by rate definition for the storm and the season (storm total is operator resettable)

AVL READY

  • Compatible with many brands of radio and cell phone AVL systems

SYSTEM SET-UP WIZARD

  • On-screen, step-by-step programming and troubleshooting

ON-SCREEN DIAGNOSTICS AND HELP MENU

  • System diagnostics available on screen for settings, software, memory, GPS, distance meter
  • Easy-to-follow instructions for use of all parameters shown in “help menu”

BLAST AND PASS (PAUSE)

  • Blast is programmable (on/off, timed, momentary)
  • Pass (pause spreading temporarily)
  • Remote blast and remote pass accessible

SIGNAL COMMUNICATIONS

  • Multiple frequency settings for valve compatibility
  • Multiplex/CAN bus communication

POWER SAFETY

  • Power Safe™ signals prevent random grounds powering any hydraulics system attached (auger, spinner, conveyor, etc.)
  • Channel Safe™ detects and protects against open or short circuits on hydraulic drive channels
