- Page 5 Installing the wire Harness 1. Pictured below is a typical wire harness used on the F2 Spreader. There are variations of this harness supplied by Certified Power. Contact your Certified Power Sales Rep. for help obtaining full documentation and drawings or your System Owner’s manual. 2. Attach Red B+ wire to a 8‐16V circuit. Use a switched or continuous 10amp protected circuit. Closed‐loop systems (feeder or liquid) must use a switched 10amp circuit. Use 16AWG wire when additional wire is needed. 3. Attach the (2) Ground wires direct to chassis ground or direct to battery post. Chassis grounds must be made to bare clean metal. 4. Disconnect battery supply and ground before welding on the vehicle. 5. Attach the MPH wire to the vehicles MPH signal source. Check with the vehicle manufacturer before splicing into any wire to avoid damaging the vehicle electronics. 6. Attach any remote inputs that are required. The standard inputs are listed below. Input 1 WT/BK, REMOTE PAUSE Input 3 WT, REMOTE BLAST 7. Attach Aux. out wire if required. This wire provides a +Bat 200mA. Source. If the Aux. wire is NOT used. Tie up and insulate the wire from chassis ground. Typically this wire is used to control a relay or lamp indicator. 8. Attach any external wiring and cables using the provided installation drawing.

- Page 6 Typical System OV 1. Pictured below is a generic system overview. Use this as a basic illustrative guide to install the appropriate harnessing onto the vehicle chassis. Your harnessing may vary from the picture. Do not use dielectric grease on M12 connectors All harnessing should be tied up securely and away from moving parts. Avoid routing harnessing near areas of excessive heat such as engine exhaust pipe. Minimum bend diameter behind a molded connector should be > 3inches.

- Page 16 Basic Diagnostics/troubleshooting (common errors and their meanings) 1. Errors seen while Saving Trims “Setting not Saved, Min exceeds Max” , This is a common message seen while saving trims. Usually occurs if saving a minimum trim percent that is over the maximum trim percent. Try setting max trim first then set minimum trim last. The error also appears if no feedback is being received from the closed‐loop sensor when a Save is applied. “Setting not Saved, Valve open”, This error message appears when Saving trims and the F2 cannot detect current flowing through the Hydraulic valve electrical circuit. Suspect a connector or broken wire between the F2 control and Valve coil connection on the hydraulic valve. 2. Errors seen while calibrating ground‐speed MPH (Speed Cal) “Ground Speed Error”, This error appears if trying to Save a “Speed Cal” and not having any groundspeed signal present at the MPH Ground Speed input. Try a different “Speed Type” and watch for the “Pulses Per minute” value to reflect a frequency indicating a good groundspeed signal at the input. 3. Common on‐screen operating errors. “Sensor Power Error”, If the sensor power supply line is shorted to ground or has more than 750mA. of current draw the sensor power supply from the F2 is being overloaded. Suspect a faulty Feeder sensor or Liquid Flow‐meter sensor. Also suspect a pinched or crushed wire, corroded connector or any fault that may cause a short to chassis ground. “Feeder Rate limited”, If the Feeder is running at max speed and the current target application rate is NOT being met, this error will display. Sometimes this error would be indicative of a system that has not been calibrated or has been calibrated improperly. This error also applies to Liquid, and the Spinner. This error clears itself when the target rate is being met. “Feeder Rate Overrun”, If the Feeder is running at its lowest speed and the current target application rate is NOT being met, this error will display. Sometimes this error would be indicative of a system that has not been calibrated or has been calibrated improperly. This error also applies to Liquid, and the Spinner. Usually this error will only display at very low sustained vehicle speeds of usually 5mph or less and low target rates. This error clears itself when the target rate is being met. “Sensor fault” and “Feeder Override , This error occurs when the F2 was operating in closed‐loop mode and was not receiving sensor feedback. The F2 automatically defaults into open‐loop after ...
