The 1040 can be programmed with 100 batching recipes. It can also track
the unloading of a batched load into 100 pens. Recipes and pens can be
custom named for ease of record keeping. This section covers the things
you need to know about recipes and using the pen features.
Each recipe can draw from a list of 100 ingredients. All ingredients and
recipes can be labeled with up to six (6) alphanumeric character.
Recipes have the following features:
1.
All recipes are based on weight (net or percentage) or head counts. See
the next section for details.
2.
All recipes use the programmable pre-alarm warning light. This is
configured in the configuration menu. 50 lb/kg is the default value.
3.
All recipes can use auto-hold capabilities if enabled in the configuration
menu.
4.
One recipe can use a maximum of 32 ingredients.
5.
Ingredients can be programmed to be hand-adds. This means they are
small preweighed items that once loaded into the mixer are recorded as
the programmed amounts in the recipe.
6.
Recipes can use the auto-mix timer count down feature after the last
ingredient has been loaded. This must be enabled in the configuration
menu.
You need to choose the recipe entry mode in the User Menu. Choose
Weight (normal or auto-adjust) or Head Count. See the
User Menu
section
for information on these choices.
When a recipe is programmed, the indicator remembers which recipe
entry mode the indicator was in at the time of recipe creation. This
means you can have some recipes based on head counts and some
based on weight, if desired.
