SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual

Hardware

The SSC3100 is a self-contained spreader system. It has three rotary adjustment knobs with

pushbuttons.

SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual

Power Up the SSC3100

Powering up the SSC3100

Upon applying 12V DC dashkey power to the SSC3100, the system will perform a panel test by

illuminating the LEDs around the dials as well as the ACTIVE and BLAST LEDs. During this test

the outputs will remain inactive. The system will also perform a test on the various system inputs.

If the system detects any errors on startup the ACTIVE LED and BLAST LED will alternately flash

RED to indicate that an error was detected. The error code will be displayed using the Spreader

and Spinner dial indicators. If no errors are detected on startup the system will enter normal

operation mode in standby.

SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual

Normal Operation

Normal Operation Mode

When the spreader control is in normal operation mode the output set rates are indicated by the

illuminated number next to the corresponding dial from zero to the active rate. The output rates

represent the percentage of output between the min and max calibration settings.

The numbers around the liquid dial will be illuminated when the liquid system is active. When the

liquid system is turned off all the numbers around the dial will be off. Pressing the liquid knob will

turn on and off the liquid application, if it is enabled. The liquid output operation will also follow

the standby state of the spreader control, if enabled.

SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual

Applying Material

When your SSC3100 system starts up, it will always be in standby with all outputs inactive. You

will need to remove your system from standby before it will apply material.

The spreader can apply granular material only (Dry Granular Application), apply a prewet liquid to

the granular material while spreading (Prewetted Granular Application) or apply liquid only (Direct

Liquid Application).

Each rotary adjustment knob on the Operator Interface performs a different function when

applying material. See the table below.

Gray LIQUID

Knob

Twist Left

Pushbutton

Turn on or off the liquid application, if enabled.

To spread granular material:

STEP 1: Twist the SPREADER knob to adjust your granular output percentage.

STEP 2: Twist the SPINNER knob to adjust your spinner set rate.

STEP 3: Press the SPREADER knob to remove the spreader control from standby.

Granular material will spread depending on the state of the ground speed

interrupt calibration setting and if the vehicle is detecting ground speed.

STEP 4: Press the SPREADER knob to place the spreader control back in standby and

stop the outputs.

To reduce the risk of death or injury, ensure

that all personnel are clear from moving

machinery before activating outputs.

SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual

Applying Material

To spread granular and prewet material:

STEP 1: Press the gray LIQUID knob to activate the prewet application. This will

illuminate the selected prewet application percentage next to the LIQUID dial.

STEP 2: Twist the SPREADER knob to adjust your granular output percentage.

STEP 3: Twist the SPINNER knob to adjust your spinner set rate.

STEP 4: Twist the LIQUID knob to adjust the prewet output percentage.

STEP 5: Press the SPREADER knob to remove the spreader control from standby.

Granular and prewet material will spread depending on the state of the ground

speed interrupt calibration setting and if the vehicle is detecting ground speed.

STEP 6: Press the SPREADER knob to place the spreader control back in standby and

stop the outputs.

To spread direct liquid material:

STEP 1: Turn the SPREADER and SPINNER dials to 0.

STEP 2: Press the gray LIQUID knob to activate the liquid application. This will illuminate

the selected liquid application percentage next to the LIQUID dial.

STEP 3: Twist the LIQUID knob to adjust the direct output percentage.

STEP 4: Press the SPREADER knob to remove the spreader control from standby. The

liquid material will spread depending on the state of the ground speed interrupt

calibration setting and if the vehicle is detecting ground speed.

STEP 5: Press the SPREADER knob to place the spreader control back in standby and

stop the outputs.

To reduce the risk of death or injury, ensure

that all personnel are clear from moving

machinery before activating outputs.

This application mode is only applicable when

the liquid mode is set to one of the three prewet

related modes in calibration.

This application mode is only applicable when

the liquid mode is set to one of the two direct

liquid related modes in calibration.

SSC6100 Operation Manual

Applying Material - Blast

Blast

Blast is a spreader feature that runs the applicable output at the maximum percentage for a set

amount of time. By default, Blast is set to spread for ten seconds.

When Blast is activated, the BLAST LED will illuminate RED.

To activate Blast:

STEP 1: Press the Blue SPINNER Knob on the Operator Interface. The system will blast

for its configured amount of time. The Blast feature works whether or not the

system is in standby or the vehicle is moving.

To deactivate Blast before it automatically shuts off:

STEP 1: While the system is Blasting, press the Blue SPINNER Knob on the Operator

Interface. The Blast feature will shut off and return to its previous operation

(spreading or standby).

To reduce the risk of death or injury, ensure

that all personnel are clear from moving

machinery before activating outputs.

When blast mode is activated, blast rates will

only be applied to outputs with application rates

currently not set to zero.

NOTE: Blast mode does not affect the spinner

output.
