both “Min” and “Max” for the motor selected, Auger, Prewet, Anti-icing, etc...).
2. Note: This feature can only be used with motors with speed or flow feedback
(i.e. Conveyor/ Auger, Prewet, Anti-icing, etc.).
6.2 Manual Nulling
1. Press “Min” value field to enter into edit mode.
2. Use up and down arrows to adjust speed so that the motor just begins to turn
3. Press the “Min” value field again to end the edit mode and accept the value
