The flow of this document is intended to follow the typical flow of an actual vehicle

calibration. It is assumed all equipment has been configured. If not, it may be

necessary to contact your truck equipment dealer for further assistance on what

equipment is installed or consult the ACS Administrators manual P#SG07230015

for assistance.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

Fully functioning Truck with Spreader installed.

Materials intended for use. i.e., Salt, Sand, Cinders.

Pre-Wet with sufficient fluid in the tanks. Use caution if using straight water. Water will

freeze, causing major damage to all system components. If water is to be used for

calibration, be sure to flush the system thoroughly with windshield washer fluid when

calibration is completed to remove all water.

Available Truck scale for measuring the weight of the vehicle before and after a

measured dump.

A calculator (if setting up multiple materials).

A bathroom scale and 5 gallon bucket and shovel (if truck scale is unavailable).

Stopwatch if running variable gate.

ACS CALIBRATION MANUAL Rev. E SG07230014

GETTING STARTED

1. Security Clearance

Administrator: HIGHEST LEVEL OF ACCESS

oNOT used for calibration. Use Technician level access for calibration.

oUse Admin log-in if problem related to equipment setup is found. e.g.

changing digital input assignment options, configuration of joystick dead-

bands, configuring PWM output assignments.

oThe Admin user should posses a high level of understanding about the

vehicle and its installed equipment.

oThe Admin user should possess a full understanding of the ACS setup

process and understand what setup variables affect directly and indirectly

hydraulic functions, including live activation of hydraulic functions such

as a plow or conveyor when some menu variables are selected.

oAccess to all menus.

oAbility to modify ANY system variable.

oAbility to change passwords.

oClearing of the EEPROM (Resetting the control system to factory

defaults calibration and setup data will be permanently lost).

Technician: MEDIUM LEVEL ACCESS

oUse Technician level access to calibrate the spreader control.

Change hydraulic motor trims.

Manually enter spreader calibration factors if they are known.

Set-up multiple materials to spread.

Calibrate MPH input, Feeder calibration, Spinner calibration,

Liquid setup and trims.

3. Passwords

LOGINS – Operator (driver), Technician, Admin.

Be sure to change at minimum your Administrator password to restrict access to critical

setup values. This is a crucial step to keep un-qualified persons from mistakenly or

maliciously changing setup values that could lead to equipment malfunction and damage.

USER STORM ID. PASSWORD

Technician

USER CLEAR EEPROM STORM ID. PASSWORD

Administrator YES/NO ADMIN

USER STORM ID. USER ID.

Operator

Storm ID. Entry is optional but should be used if you wish to track operational data by

storm. Use any Alpha numeric entry.

User I.D only must be populated if it’s configured under System settings by the

Administrator to require log-on. User ID also should be used to track operational data

by user. Use any Alpha numeric entry.

The default factory Admin password is shown above. If it is changed & then lost it will

be necessary to contact you local Certified Power Sales Representative for help.

Technician and Admin passwords can be viewed/changed under Admin access only.

METRIC MODE

The ACS can run in Metric units mode.

oLog-in as Administrator

oFrom the ‘Main menu’ navigate to ‘Spreader Settings’, change ‘Units Measure’

to “Metric”

oAll English labels are then converted to metric labels except Flow-Meter PPG

(Pulses Per Gallon) it will be entered as US GALLONS….. Always!

oThe ACS system cannot be switched between English and Metric display; unit

values DO NOT CONVERT between English and metric equivalents. The

system will always need to be calibrated under the units it will be operated in.

Metric label abbreviations are as follows: This applies to ALL setup and operating values

Kg. - Kilogram

Km. – Kilometer

MT – Metric Ton

cm. - centimeter

Kg/LnKm. – Kilogram per Lane Kilometer

L/Kg. - Liters per Kilogram

L/Min. – Liters per Minute

Km/H. - Kilometers per Hour

Kg/Min. – Kilograms per Minute

ACS CALIBRATION MANUAL Rev. E SG07230014

CALIBRATING GROUND SPEED (MPH)

It is absolutely necessary as part of the calibration process to make sure the ACS MPH

[Km/H metric mode] display matches the Truck MPH display.

Drive the vehicle. The MPH [Km/H metric mode] display should match and track with

the vehicle speedometer. If it does not, then follow the instructions below.

Login to Main menu, Vehicle settings, Speed adjust.

1. Vehicle Speed input type

Use display arrow keys and F3 “Select” key to navigate to the “Vehicle Settings” then

“Speed Input Type”

VRM: This setting used for Low voltage AC signals. This type of input can be

susceptible to noise and the wiring should be shielded with a drain path to chassis

ground.

MechSRC /WA: This is the most typical setting. This setting to be used in most

applications where the MPH signal source is the vehicles computer. Always check with

the vehicle manufacturer before attaching to any vehicle wiring.

Mech Sink: When configured for this setting a pull-up resistor to +5 volts is added to the

input. Typically this setting is used for after-market hall-sensors that are NPN open-

collector output.

It is necessary to reboot the ACS system each time you change the speed type to have

the setting take effect, and then continue to Vehicle Speed Adjust step below.

2. Vehicle Speed Adjust

Use display arrow keys and F3 “Select” key to navigate to “Speed Adjust” screen.

MPH [Km/H metric mode] display

ACS CALIBRATION MANUAL Rev. E SG07230014

Select into Speedometer Reading and change the “Speedometer reading” value to the

vehicle speed you intend to drive at.

Drive the vehicle cautiously up to speed. Always keep your eyes on the road and perform

speed cal in an area away from other traffic or obstacles. It is recommended and much

safer if you have someone else drive the vehicle while ANY cal adjustments are made.

While the vehicle is in motion and the dash speedometer reads exactly the value you set

in “Speedometer Reading” press F2 screen key to SAVE.

Now the “Spreader match Value” should match and track with your vehicles

Speedometer.

Note: If there is no signal, you will receive a “Ground Speed too low” message at the

bottom of the screen when trying to press F3 “Accept”.

Use display ▲▼ arrows to

adjust value up or down.

Press Accept when your value

is set to same value displayed

on truck Speedometer.

“Match Value” should match and track

ith truck s

eedometer.

CONFIGURING MATERIALS

It is important to properly setup all of your materials that will be used on the vehicle.

1. Material Menus

Use display arrow keys and F3 “Select” key to navigate through to the “Spreader

Settings” menu to “Materials menu,” eventually ending up in Material #1 setup as

shown below.

1. 2.

3.. 4.

2. How to set up materials

On the following page is an example table filled in for a basic material setup. The

column and rows are formatted to follow the flow of menu items within the ACS

system material menus. The table shows some example settings that are

commonly chosen. Follow the instructions below.

You must calibrate the vehicle with one (1) material. All other materials are based

on a ratio of the calibrated material vs. the new material.

oSet up MATERIAL #1 as the material you will dispense during Measured

Dump. Follow the example chart on the next page as a guide. I recommend

that the first material in the list (Material 1) be the calibrated material or

Measured Dump Material.

oBelow find the example table. I have included additional Blank tables to be

filled out as each material is set up. The tables you fill out will be used in the

future as a guide for additional setups or to check settings months later when

a problem may arise.

ASSIGN A MATERIAL NAME. This will be the name that appears on the

operator’s screen. Choose 1-10 alpha-numeric characters.
