Use
LEVEL CONTROL
to specify operation of the Level Control switch installed in the
hopper cover at the filler. It can be selected as “On” or “Off.” When entered as “On” a
signal is generated indicating a low level condition exists. When selected as “On,” the
Pause Delay and Low Level Agitation selections (see following) can be further used to
specify low level control.
2.
The
PAUSE DELAY
key provides a delay to occur between detection of a low level
condition in the hopper and a system pause. This selection can be used to allow infeed
equipment to deliver product to the hopper without excessive “pausing” of production.
3.
The
LOW LEVEL AGITATION
key allows the product agitator blade in the hopper to
operate at low product levels to ensure that product is fed into flights of the auger before
re-supply occurs. When selected as “On,” slow speed agitation operates despite the set-
ting in the “
Auger and Agitation
“ setup menu.
4.
INFEED CONTROL
selects the type of signal used to actuate external product infeed
equipment. Selections are available for Pulse, Continuous, or None. When selected as
“Pulse,” pulse width can be defined using the On/Off Time entries. Infeed Control entries
will depend upon the type and wiring of external product infeed equipment used. You
may need to refer to wiring information of this external equipment to determine the cor-
rect entry.
5.
The
ON/OFF TIME
selection specifies pulse width of external equipment used for
product re-supply.

When entries are complete, record settings on the Run Program Worksheet (see
“
Appendix
”).
