Harness.
3. Enter the 6100’s Calibration Menu.
4. Set the Configuration → Enabled Options → Event Logging menu item to PreCise MRM.
5. Configure your Event Logging settings in the Configuration →Event Logging menu. See
page 36 for more detailed information.
6. Exit the Calibration Menu.
Upon leaving Calibration, the 6100 will authenticate with the PreCise MRM device. Once
a successful connection has been established, the 6100 shall begin sending event data
to the PreCise MRM device.
To use Event Logging with an AVL device other than PreCise™ MRM:
1. Work with your preferred AVL developer and your local FORCE America Representative
to purchase an Event Logging Authentication Module for each vehicle you wish to equip
with Event Logging.
2. Connect an Event Logging Authentication Module to each vehicle you wish to equip with
Event Logging. These connect to a two-pin connector attached to the External 12-pin
Harness (P/N 1016023).
3. Connect one AVL device (provided by the AVL developer) to each vehicle you wish to
equip with Event Logging. The AVL device connects to a DB-9 connector on the included
RS-232 Serial Harness.
4. Enter the 6100’s Calibration Menu.
5. Set the Configuration → Enabled Options → Event Logging menu item to AVL.
6. Exit the Calibration Menu.

The Calibration Menu
The Calibration Menu contains all of the settings required to operate an SSC6100 system.
Settings within the Calibration Menu are broken up into two categories: Fleet-Wide Settings and
Vehicle Specific Settings.
Fleet-Wide Settings
Fleet-Wide Settings are likely to be set the same across an entire fleet of vehicles. These
include things such as the supervisor’s access code, the measurement units, granular
and prewet loop modes, and material set rates.
Vehicle Specific Settings
Vehicle Specific Settings are likely to vary between each vehicle. These include hardware
related settings, such as axle pulses, minimum and maximum currents, and displacement
values which may change due to manufacturing or installation differences.
The Calibration Menu uses a “NeverLost” menu system to ensure that navigating the settings is
easy and quick. The Calibration Menu has four subsections: the Trackback Pane, Submenus,
Menu Items, and the Soft Switches, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Calibration Menu
The Trackback Pane
The Trackback Pane records your current location within the Calibration Menu. It will always list
the submenus you traveled through to see your current screen. The submenu you are currently
viewing will always be the furthest right in the Trackback Pane. For example, in Figure 3, the user
has entered the Calibration Menu and is viewing the Configuration submenu.
For a complete list of Fleet-Wide and Vehicle
Specific Settings, see Appendix A –Default
Settings and Import/Export Types on page 67.

SSC6100 CAN Ultra Calibration Manual
Calibration Menu

Submenus
Submenus are not calibration settings, but instead are containers for other calibration settings.
For example, all system-wide calibration settings are contained under the Configuration
submenu.
A calibration item is a submenu if it displays an arrow instead of a calibration value. Also,
submenus will show a preview pane when they are highlighted, while normal calibration items will
not. The preview pane shows all of the calibration items available within the submenu.
If a submenu has gray text instead of blue, none of the calibration options within the submenu will
be able to be change because another calibration item has disabled it. For example, the Direct
Liquid submenu will be gray if Calibration → Enabled Options → Direct is disabled.
Calibration Items
Calibration items are changeable settings. They have a name and display a value in the menu.
If a Calibration item has gray text instead of blue, it is unable to be changed because another
calibration item has disabled it. For example, the Calibration → Enabled Options → Simultaneous
Gran/Dir calibration item will be gray if Calibration → Enabled Options → Direct is disabled.
The Soft Switches
The Soft Switches are located on the bottom left of the 6100’s display and are used to instantly
activate or deactivate menu functions. These 8 soft switches directly correspond to the labeled
buttons on the Operator Interface. For example, pressing the Filled Circle button on the Operator
Interface will activate the function shown on the Filled Circle soft switch.
Within the Calibration Menu, the Soft Switches no longer correspond to the functions available in
the Soft Switch Panes on the Operator Screen (see the 6100 Operation Manual, M0123). Instead,
they run their own custom functions depending on your location within the Calibration Menu.
Calibration Menu Navigation
All actions within the Calibration Menu are done using the Operator Interface. Most actions are
completed with the gray Nav Stick, but the green On/Standby and blue Blast encoders do
occasionally run functions.
All actions on the 6100 are activated using the Operator Interface. The table below describes
each button and its actions while in the Calibration Menu. Not all actions are available at all
locations within the menu.
