file: SF4MAN.DOC - 13 - December 30, 1996
Customized Display (Appendix 2)
Your particular Superflex 4 System application may be customized to easily identify the machine’s
function. Nine characters may be specified for each function, channel and direction. For example - you
might choose “DRIVE FWD” for the machines drive forward, “BOOM LIFT” and “ROTATE R” for
boom functions, etc. Refer to the customized data located in Appendix 2 of this manual.
Adjustments and Calibration
Two different methods may be used to calibrate the system: 1) Active or 2) Bench / Static. In the Active
mode, the equipment is actually operated with the joystick controllers while making the adjustments. The
Bench / Static mode does not require operating the equipment or moving the joystick handles. For best
results, the Active method is recommended.
NOTE - After making an adjustment, always press the RUN key to save the new value. If the RUN key is
not pressed, the new settings will be lost as soon as the Optimizer is unplugged or the Superflex 4 power is
turned off.
Active Adjustments
WARNING - Your machine will be operated during this calibration procedure. Be sure to
locate the machine in an area which is suitable for safe operation.
NOTE - The Action (Channel) and the Direction are automatically selected when a Joystick controller is
operated. Plug in the Optimizer and turn on power. Follow any additional procedures specified by the
equipment manufacturer.

To adjust THRESHOLD (initial starting or creep speed) -
Move the joystick handle (of the function to adjust) just far enough so that the Optimizer display
changes from “Run Mode Functions Off” to “RUN: ... Fn...” At this point, the channel is
operating. Continue to hold the joystick handle in this position and perform the following steps.
Press the Threshold key. The Threshold value is displayed, and it blinks (flashes) to indicate that
it can be adjusted.
Press the Plus key to start or speed up this function if it does not move. OR Press the Minus key
to stop or slow down the function if it moves too fast.
Press the RUN key to save the new value.
Repeat these steps for adjusting the Threshold in the opposite direction.
"
To adjust MAXOUT (full speed) -
If the machine has two speeds (Dual Range), make sure the High range is selected. (If this is not
possible, then temporarily adjust the Low Range to 100%.
Move the joystick handle fully on (to the end of its travel) in the direction to be adjusted, and hold
it there. Allow time for the machine function to accelerate to full speed.
Press the Maxout key. The Maximum Output value is displayed and flashes.
