  • Page 6: Powering Up The Ssc3100

    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.

  • Page 7: Normal Operation Mode

    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.

  • Page 8: Applying Material

    Applying Material 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).
  • Page 9 SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Applying Material To reduce the risk of death or injury, ensure that all personnel are clear from moving machinery before activating outputs. 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.

  • Page 10: Blast

    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 reduce the risk of death or injury, ensure that all personnel are clear from moving machinery before activating outputs.

  • Page 11: Unload

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Unload Unload The Unload mode allows you to unload materials from the vehicle. This mode is only necessary if the system is setup to have the ground speed interrupt enabled. The mode is cancelled by placing the system into standby.
  • Page 12 SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Unload To unload liquid material: STEP 1: Ensure that the system is in standby and the vehicle is not moving. STEP 2: Turn the SPREADER and SPINNER dials to 0. STEP 3: Turn on the liquid output if it is not already on.

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Calibration Calibration The Calibration feature is used to setup your FORCE America SS3100 for your system and application requirements. When the calibration feature is active the blast indicator on the front of the unit will be illuminated green.

  • Page 14: Description Of Calibration Values

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Description of Calibration Values Description of Calibration Values The numbers located around the liquid dial will be used to indicate which calibration setting is active and the numbers located around the spreader and spinner dials will indicate the selected value for that setting.

  • Page 15: Spinner Min Duty Cycle

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Description of Calibration Values Spinner Min Output The Spinner Min Output item sets the duty cycle required to turn the spinner at its slowest rate. The setting is indicated by having the LIQUID dial illuminated at 2. The value is indicated illuminating the numbers around the SPREADER and SPINNER dials.

  • Page 16: Liquid Max Duty Cycle

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Description of Calibration Values Use the green SPREADER knob to activate/deactivate the output to test the liquid pump speed when adjusting the Min Output value. The ACTIVE LED will illuminate green when the spreader control is out of standby and running the output.

  • Page 17: Speedometer Configuration

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Description of Calibration Values Speedometer Configuration The speedometer configuration item is used to enable the ground speed interrupt. When the ground speed interrupt is enabled, the system will stop spreading material when the vehicle is not moving.

  • Page 18: Restore Defaults

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Description of Calibration Values  The liquid output will run independent of the granular output allowing the liquid to be active when the granular rate is 0. In this mode the liquid output will not change when the blast feature is active.

  • Page 19: Troubleshooting And Error Conditions

    SSC3100 Operation & Calibration Manual Troubleshooting and Error Conditions Troubleshooting and Error Conditions When the system encounters an error condition the ACTIVE LED and BLAST LED will alternately flash RED to indicate that an error was detected. The information related to the error will be indicated using the numbers around the SPREADER dial by illuminating the number of the error.
