Installation Step 3: Calibrate the EXM System
After successfully configuring the system, the system must be calibrated. Calibrating the EXM system’s
horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.
To view a demonstration of system calibration and entering setup commands go to
to download the appropriate EXM System Instructional Video.
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 5 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 be lit. (There is
no status LED on the joystick, when PRESET & AUX are released, all valve buttons LEDs will flash
once instead)
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 exit Setup Mode simply press and release the FOG and STREAM buttons simultaneously one
time (On the joystick use the PRESET and AUX buttons). The blue status LED on the monitor and
the yellow status LED on the input controller will turn off (there is no status LED on the joystick,
instead all valve buttons LEDs will flash once).
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.
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 controls, position the monitor in the location you want to be the center
of the allowed range of horizontal travel (i.e. the 0˚ horizontal position).
o
Press and hold PRESET and then press and release either the LEFT or RIGHT button. (On the
joystick, hold PRESET and move the stick to the right or left and release) The status LED on
the monitor should blink then turn solid.
o
Release the PRESET button. The horizontal axis is now calibrated.
