Display Units
Select cc/Liter (default) or oz/Gallon. Effects units used
for Run screen job totalizers, Report screen grand total
volume, and the potlife volume set on Advanced Screen
2. All other volumetric values remain as cc, cc/min., and
cc/pulse.
Dose Size
A dose is the volume of fluid that flows through the sys-
tem in one complete cycle of dispense valves A and B.
The optimal dose size depends on the mix ratio, flow
rate, and ratio tolerance of the fluid you are using.
In general, mix quality is better with smaller dose sizes.
However, due to the uncertainty of the valve timing,
smaller dose sizes can generate more off-ratio condi-
tions, especially at high flow rates. Repeated trial and
adjustment may be necessary to find the optimal dose
size and ratio tolerance.
Select from these 3 settings:
•
25 cc - (default) works well for most applica-
tions. It is small enough for good integration,
while still avoiding nuisance alarms.
•
50 cc - is best used when an application has
high fluctuations in mix ratio, such as when
using a high flow rate (> 2000 cc/min.) or flow
meters with lower resolution (K-factor > 0.2
cc/pulse).
•
Automatic - is a setting that eliminates the
need to repeatedly adjust the dose size and tol-
erance. Each time the Mix
key is pressed,
the ProMix™ II chooses between 15 cc, 25 cc,
or 50 cc dose sizes, based on how well the ratio
was maintained during the last application of the
color selected. This is especially beneficial
when using a very low flow rate (< 100 cc/min.).
