STATUS INDICATORS
The highlighted area represents the hopper
sensor activity. When granulate is inserted
in the hopper, the sensor will detect its
presence. This will be visible in the status
screen, the hopper area will fill up. The
sensor can only detect the presence of
granulate, not the amount.
⚠
Caution:
When the hopper sensor is
disabled, the text in the hopper will be
shown as ‘OFF’. Keep in mind that the
machine will continue without stop even if
the hopper is empty all the way.
The highlighted area represents the band
heaters. The Regular version has 3 heaters,
the Advanced has 4 heaters. Each heater is
shown separately. The set Celsius degrees
are shown below the heater, the measured
Celsius degrees are shown above the
heater.
