4.1.2 - Wheel Factor

1. Wheel factor calibration requires measuring of a distance of at least 50m.

2. Enter the “MACHINE MENU”. The “COUNT WHEEL PULSE” is a live display of magnets/targets

passing the wheel sensor. Move the machine and stop on a wheel as it is updated on the screen

next to “COUNT WHEEL PULSE”.

3. Press the softkey pointing at “COUNT WHEEL PULSE”.

4. Press the “RESET” key to reset wheel pulses.

5. Drive forward at least 50m and observe the wheel pulse count increase.

6. After driving forward 50m or more try to stop exactly on a wheel pulse.

7. Measure the distance traveled.

8. Press softkey pointing at “DISTANCE”. Use arrow keys to enter the distance driven.

9. Press the “UPDATE” softkey. The new wheel factor will be immediately calculated and

displayed.

Note

The wheel calibration factor is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the number of wheel

sensor pulses.

The wheel factor can be changed manually without doing the above procedure if the wheel factor

is already known. Press the softkey pointing at “WHEEL FACTOR” and using the arrow keys change

the wheel factor.
