Installation Step 3: Calibrate the EXM System
After successfully configuring the system, the system must be calibrated. Calibrating the EXM system’s
horizontal is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.
To view a demonstration of system calibration and entering setup commands go to www.elkhartbrass.com to
download the appropriate EXM System Instructional Video.
A. Setup Mode
Before the EXM system can be calibrated, the system must be put into Setup Mode. To bring the system into
Setup Mode press and hold the FOG and STREAM buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. (On the joystick use
the PRESET and AUX buttons)
When the system has successfully been brought into Setup Mode, the blue status LED on the monitor and
the yellow status LED on the input controller (top right corner) will light. (There is no status LED on the
joystick, instead all valve button LEDs will flash once)
Once in Setup Mode a user can set travel limits, travel keep out zones, and stow position, as well as
change motor speeds, etc.
When in Setup Mode the RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN buttons function normally, but valve OPEN,
CLOSE, and PRESET do not control the valve. Instead, they are used for entering setup commands.
To leave Setup Mode simply press and release the FOG and STREAM buttons simultaneously one time.
Changes made will not take effect until after exiting Setup Mode. Setup Mode will automatically be
exited after five minutes of no user inputs.
Caution:
There are no vertical or horizontal travel limits when in Setup Mode. Move the
monitor with caution while in this mode. If monitor is obstructed by an object or by itself, the
motors may over current and need to be moved manually out of the interfering object’s way.
B. Calibrating Horizontal and Vertical Rotation
Calibrating the EXM system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.
The calibration points serve as a starting point for all other motion limits and commands entered to the EXM
system. If not properly calibrated, the system may not operate correctly.
Calibrating Horizontal Rotation - This calibration process will establish the zero (0˚) horizontal position
and allow rotation half to the left and half to the right of the total rotation range specified during system
configuration.
o Using RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN buttons, position the monitor such that it is aimed at the
center forward position (i.e. the 0˚ horizontal position).
