  • Page 18: Operating Instructions

    The Universal II control system is based on a distributed intelligence control structure. Each device in the system has a circuit board with an embedded micro controller. These devices include (but are not limited to): the 6032 Universal II Control Box, the 6033 Mini Universal, the 6034 CAN Operator Interface, the 6035 CAN Joystick, the 6036 CAN Direction Indicator, the 6037 CAN Wireless Interface, and the associated handheld Remote Control(s).
  • Page 19 To enter the setup mode for the above functions, follow these steps: 1. Turn power off to Universal II 2. Press and HOLD stream switch (can be done on Joystick or toggle switch box) 3. Turn power on to Universal II while continuing to hold the stream switch 4.

  • Page 20: Soft Limit Positions, Monitor Orientation, And Obstacle Avoidance

    While any and all of these configurations are optional, if a monitor/turret orientation is mounted sideways or inverted, the monitor orientation will need to be configured for proper operation. If at any point it is determined that an undesirable mode is active, it is possible to abort the mode by removing power to the Universal II prior to activating the Fog input.

    3.2.1.6 Position Sensor Zero (Blink Code 1-8) – It is often difficult for the vehicle manufacturer to mount the monitor/turret in the precise position where “straight ahead and level” matches the calibration of the monitor/turret at the Akron Brass factory. Use of this mode allows the user to “re-zero” the sensors at the desired “straight ahead and level” position. First, use the Up/Down Left/Right to position the monitor/turret “straight ahead and level”.

    3.2.1.11 Obstacle Avoidance Learn (Blink Code 2-4) – This function elecation sets The Lower Limits across the horizontal range of the monitor. For instance, a monitor located on the center of a cab roof might need to raise the nozzle slightly to avoid hitting the corners of the cab as it sweeps from side to side.

    The Universal II has nine switch inputs located on the vehicle connector (see Figure 2 3 and Table 2 3). Below are the various functions that the Universal II switch inputs can provide. Each variant of 6032 will have some combination of these, but not necessarily all or in the order presented here.

  • Page 24: Master Monitor/Turret Up/Down Switch

    3.3.2 Master Monitor/Turret Up/Down Switch When this switch input functionality is provided, it is best fed by a center-off toggle switch with momentary positions each side of center off. When the common of the switch is connected to +Battery by moving the toggle to the “Up” position, the monitor/turret will be driven upward until the switch is released, a soft-limit is encountered, a hard stop is encountered, or some other disabling function is encountered.

  • Page 25: Flow Rate High/Low Switch

    3.3.7 Slave Monitor/Turret Left/Right Switch When this switch input functionality is provided, it is best fed by a center-off toggle switch with momentary positions each side of center off. When the common of the switch is connected to +Battery by moving the toggle to the “Right” position, the monitor/tur- ret will be driven to the right until the switch is released, a soft-limit is encountered, a hard stop is encountered, a Master Left/Right switch is activated, or some other disabling function is encountered.

    3.4.1 Panel LED The Panel LED output is normally tied to the LED located in Akron Brass four switch operator stations such as the 60410003. This LED primarily indicates whether or not the monitor/turret is stowed. It also is used to present various codes by associated flash sequences.

  • Page 43: Appendix A Address Claiming

    Appendix A – Address Claiming Address claiming, detailed in ‘SAE J1939-81 Network Management’, is the technique used by AB devices to acquire a node address on the CAN network. It is generally compatible with devices using fixed node addresses, as the fixed node address range is 127 (0x7F) and below, with the dynamic address range 128 (0x80) and above.
