3.4 CHANGING APPLICATION CHANNELS
TASC allows the operator to change the application channels ON THE GO. When an application channel
is turned OFF, the flow of material stops and the total accumulator for that channel stops. If any of the
other application channels are still active however, the area accumulator will continue to count area.
3.5 CHANGING APPLICATION RATES ON THE GO
TASC allows the operator to change the rates of any or all of the application channels ON THE GO. The
change can be to a predetermined rate or, using the INC/DEC switch, percentage changes can be made.
3.5.1 ALTERNATE APPLICATION RATES FOR EACH CHANNEL
An alternate application rate can be selected for each channel using the ALT-RATE position on its rate
selection switch. Selection of an alternate rate for one channel will not affect the rates of the other
channels. TASC will continue to apply material at the alternate rate until the rate selection switch is
returned to the normal ON position.
The programmed rates and alternate rates can be viewed with the vehicle stopped, booms OFF, and
TASC in the SET-UP mode. Turn the display selector to L & CHEMICALS, APPL. RATE and select one
of the channels 1,2,3 or L. Switching the rate selection switch for that channel between ON and ALT-RATE
will display both preset rates. To view the rates set for the conveyor, turn the display selector switch to
CARRIER, APPL. RATE and select ON or ALT-RATE with channel C rate selection switch. Normal and
alternate rates can be changed in the SET-UP mode using the INC/DEC switch.
CAUTION: Operating in an alternate application rate is not a normal condition. TASC will continue
to remind the operator that he has selected an alternate rate. TASC will beep an alarm, flash the
channel indicator light and display a flashing RATE message on the display.
3.5.2 CHANGING THE PERCENT RATE ON THE CARRIER CHANNEL ONLY
TASC allows the operator to change the application of the carrier channel (C) by a percentage amount
using the INC/DEC switch. The change will not affect the other control channels. The percentage change
will affect either the normal or alternate rate of the channel, depending on which has been chosen with
the rate selector switch.
The operator selects the CARRIER, APPL. RATE position while in the OPERATE mode. The console
displays the actual application rate while applying (or the desired rate with the vehicle at rest). Toggling
the INC/DEC switch will change the channel rate up or down by the percentage set in the % RATE position.
The display will momentarily show the new target rate of channel C before displaying the actual discharge
rate. The percent rate change is canceled by switching out of the CARRIER, APPL. RATE function.
CAUTION: Operating with a changed conveyor application rate is not a normal condition. TASC will
continue to remind the operator that he has selected a changed rate. TASC will beep an alarm and
display a flashing % RATE message on the display.
