  • Page 8: Introduction

    GRANULAR CHANNEL CONFIGURATION The granular channel controls the amount of material dumped onto the ® spinner plate(s). The Control Point monitors a tachometer-style feedback sensor located on the V-box drag chain or tailgate auger. A resultant drive signal adjusts the conveyor mechanism speed to deliver the target application rate (APR) by regulating the hydraulic valve position.

  • Page 9: Liquid Channel Configuration

    In open loop systems, the hydraulic valve position is relative ® to the width adjust knob setting on the Control Point Switch Module. The user must determine the spread-width accuracy needed. Technical assistance is available through DICKEY-john Technical Support at PH#1-800-637-2952.

  • Page 10: Console

    OPERATOR’S MANUAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS ® A DICKEY-john Control Point system consists of six basic components: 1. Console 2. Switch module 3. Ground speed sensor 4. Feedback devices to monitor material application 5. Valve control devices to regulate material application 6. Harnesses to interconnect all system devices Figure 2 shows components in a block diagram.

  • Page 11: Switch Module

    The Standard Switch Module harness plugs into the Console and contains connectors for both keyboard and PC interface as described above. The ® operator controls the real-time functions of the Control Point system from the seven switches on the Switch Module (refer to Figure 3).
