5 Choice of parameters
5.1 Programming principle
The actual programming will be made on the MC12; however some parameters are PD12 specific.
5.1.1 Description of PD12 specific functions/parameters
The functions below affect filling and calibration.
If the value of the parameter is changed during filling or calibration, the new value will not be applied
until the start of the next filling or calibration.
Please note that if parameters are changed during filling a new calibration is recommended.
Function 1
– Volume
Value: ml
Function 1 informs the system of the volume to be filled.

0.01
9999.9
ml. or gram
The entered value must be between 0.01 and 9999.9.
PD12 IHS:
When entering a volume of e.g. 100 ml, this will be shared among the double heads into 2 x 50 ml.
PD12 IDH:
When entering a volume of e.g. 100 ml, this will trigger each head to fill 100 ml.
Function 2 - Tube diameter
Value: Inside diameter of the tube in mm.

The fastest filling will be carried out at the highest velocity setting but the velocity should always be
adjusted to suit the characteristics of the product and to reduce splashing or foaming.
