InstallingthewireHarness
1. PicturedbelowisatypicalwireharnessusedontheF2Spreader.Therearevariationsofthisharness
suppliedbyCertifiedPower.ContactyourCertifiedPowerSalesRep.forhelpobtainingfull
documentationanddrawingsoryourSystemOwner’smanual.
2. AttachRedB+wiretoa8‐16Vcircuit.
Useaswitchedorcontinuous10ampprotectedcircuit.
Closed‐loopsystems(feederorliquid)mustuseaswitched10ampcircuit.
Use16AWGwirewhenadditionalwireisneeded.
3. Attachthe(2)Groundwiresdirecttochassisgroundordirecttobatterypost.
Chassisgroundsmustbemadetobarecleanmetal.
4. Disconnectbatterysupplyandgroundbeforeweldingonthevehicle.
5. AttachtheMPHwiretothevehiclesMPHsignalsource.Checkwiththevehiclemanufacturerbefore
splicingintoanywiretoavoiddamagingthevehicleelectronics.
6. Attachanyremoteinputsthatarerequired.Thestandardinputsarelistedbelow.
Input1WT/BK,REMOTEPAUSE
Input3WT,REMOTEBLAST
7. AttachAux.outwireifrequired.Thiswireprovidesa+Bat200mA.Source.
IftheAux.wireisNOTused.Tieupandinsulatethewirefromchassisground.
Typicallythiswireisusedtocontrolarelayorlampindicator.
8. Attachanyexternalwiringandcablesusingtheprovidedinstallationdrawing.

BasicDiagnostics/troubleshooting(commonerrorsandtheirmeanings)
1. ErrorsseenwhileSavingTrims
“SettingnotSaved,MinexceedsMax”,Thisisacommonmessageseenwhilesavingtrims.
Usuallyoccursifsavingaminimumtrimpercentthatisoverthemaximumtrimpercent.Try
settingmaxtrimfirstthensetminimumtrimlast.Theerroralsoappearsifnofeedbackisbeing
receivedfromtheclosed‐loopsensorwhenaSaveisapplied.
“SettingnotSaved,Valveopen”,ThiserrormessageappearswhenSavingtrimsandtheF2
cannotdetectcurrentflowingthroughtheHydraulicvalveelectricalcircuit.Suspectaconnector
orbrokenwirebetweentheF2controlandValvecoilconnectiononthehydraulicvalve.
2. Errorsseenwhilecalibratingground‐speedMPH(SpeedCal)
“GroundSpeedError”,ThiserrorappearsiftryingtoSavea“SpeedCal”andnothavingany
groundspeedsignalpresentattheMPHGroundSpeedinput.Tryadifferent“SpeedType”and
watchforthe“PulsesPerminute”valuetoreflectafrequencyindicatingagoodgroundspeed
signalattheinput.
3. Commonon‐screenoperatingerrors.
“SensorPowerError”,Ifthesensorpowersupplylineisshortedtogroundorhasmorethan
750mA.ofcurrentdrawthesensorpowersupplyfromtheF2isbeingoverloaded.Suspecta
faultyFeedersensororLiquidFlow‐metersensor.Alsosuspectapinchedorcrushedwire,
corrodedconnectororanyfaultthatmaycauseashorttochassisground.
“FeederRatelimited”,IftheFeederisrunningatmaxspeedandthecurrenttargetapplication
rateisNOTbeingmet,thiserrorwilldisplay.Sometimesthiserrorwouldbeindicativeofa
systemthathasnotbeencalibratedorhasbeencalibratedimproperly.Thiserroralsoappliesto
Liquid,andtheSpinner.Thiserrorclearsitselfwhenthetargetrateisbeingmet.
“FeederRateOverrun”,IftheFeederisrunningatitslowestspeedandthecurrenttarget
applicationrateisNOTbeingmet,thiserrorwilldisplay.Sometimesthiserrorwouldbe
indicativeofasystemthathasnotbeencalibratedorhasbeencalibratedimproperly.Thiserror
alsoappliestoLiquid,andtheSpinner.Usuallythiserrorwillonlydisplayatverylowsustained
vehiclespeedsofusually5mphorlessandlowtargetrates.Thiserrorclearsitselfwhenthe
targetrateisbeingmet.
“Sensorfault”and“FeederOverride,ThiserroroccurswhentheF2wasoperatinginclosed‐loop
modeandwasnotreceivingsensorfeedback.TheF2automaticallydefaultsintoopen‐loopafter
thiserroroccurs.Suspectastalledmotororconveyor,dragchainordryorstalledliquidpump.
Thiserroroccursforanyclosed‐loopfunction.Theerrorconditionisclearedwithapowercycle.

