Spinner Min Output 

 

 

The Spinner Min Output item sets the duty cycle required to turn the spinner 
at  its  slowest  rate.  The  setting  is  indicated  by  having  the  LIQUID  dial 
illuminated  at  2.   The  value  is  indicated  illuminating  the  numbers  around 
the  SPREADER  and  SPINNER  dials.  The  highest  number  illuminated 
around the SPREADER dial indicates the tens position for the duty cycle 
and the highest number illuminated around the SPINNER dial indicates the 
ones position. The default value is 20% and is represented by having the 
0,  1,  and  2  numbers  illuminated  around  the  SPREADER  dial  and  the  0 
number illuminated around the SPINNER dial. 
 
Use the  green  SPREADER knob to  activate/deactivate the output to  test 
the spinner speed when adjusting the Min Output value.  The ACTIVE LED 
will  illuminate  green  when  the  spreader  control  is  out  of  standby  and 
running the output.  Rotating the SPREADER knob will increase/decrease 
the duty cycle by 10% and using the SPINNER knob will increase/decrease 
the duty cycle by 1%.

 

 

Spinner Max Output 

 

 

The  Spinner  Max  Output  item  sets  the  duty  cycle  required  to  turn  the 
spinner at its fastest rate. The setting is indicated by having the LIQUID dial 
illuminated at 3.  The value is indicated by illuminating the numbers around 
the  SPREADER  and  SPINNER  dials.  The  highest  number  illuminated 
around the SPREADER dial indicates the tens position for the duty cycle 
and the highest number illuminated around the SPINNER dial indicates the 
ones position. The default value is 75% and is represented by having the 
numbers 0 thru 7 illuminated around the SPREADER dial and the numbers 
0 thru 5 illuminated around the SPINNER dial. 
 
Use the  green  SPREADER knob to  activate/deactivate the output to  test 
the spinner speed when adjusting the Max Output value.  The ACTIVE LED 
will  illuminate  green  when  the  spreader  control  is  out  of  standby  and 
running the output. Rotating the SPREADER knob will increase/decrease 
the duty cycle by 10% and using the SPINNER knob will increase/decrease 
the duty cycle by 1%.

 

 

Liquid Min Output 

 

 

 

The Liquid Min Output item sets the duty cycle required to turn the  liquid 
pump at its slowest rate. The setting is indicated by having the LIQUID dial 
illuminated  at  4.   The  value  is  indicated  illuminating  the  numbers  around 
the  SPREADER  and  SPINNER  dials.  The  highest  number  illuminated 
around the SPREADER dial indicates the tens position for the duty cycle 
and the highest number illuminated around the SPINNER dial indicates the 
ones position. The default value is 20% and is represented by having the 
0,  1,  and  2  numbers  illuminated  around  the  SPREADER  dial  and  the  0 
number illuminated around the SPINNER dial.
