NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: Low pressure systems may be set 100 psi
(0.7 MPa, 7 bar) lower than target pressure; high
pressure systems may be set 300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21
bar) lower than target pressure.

Set a higher flow rate or pressure for use while mix
filling to decrease the time needed to fill the hose and
spray device. Once the spray device is filled, the
system will use the target set point as set by the PLC.
The default value is ‘0’. When set to ‘0’, the system
ignores the Mix Fill Set Point and instead uses the
target set point as set by the PLC.
The value will be a flow rate if Fluid Control is set
to ‘Flow’, or a pressure if Fluid control is set to
‘Pressure’.

The Gun Trigger Input signals that the device is
triggered. If you are not using a gun trigger signal,
the system does not know if the spray device is
spraying. If a pump failed you could spray pure resin
or catalyst without knowing. This should be caught
by the Mix No Flow Timeout; the default is 5 seconds.
The Mix Idle Timeout will trigger Idle mode, which
will run a pump stall test to check for leaks, then put
the pumps in Standby (holding their current position)
after the designated period of time. Enter the desired
Mix Idle Timeout in this field.

The Gun Trigger Input signals that the gun is
triggered. If the Gun Trigger Input indicates that the
gun is triggered, but there is no fluid flow through a
pump, you could spray pure resin or catalyst without
knowing. The Mix No Flow Timeout will cause the
system to shutdown after the designated period of
time. The default is 5 seconds. Enter the desired
shutdown time in this field.

Rate
The Max Flow Rate setting allows you to limit the total
flow rate of the Mix Unit while in Mix mode. Normally,
while controlling to the target pressure set point,
flow rates may fluctuate slightly due to a number
of variations, including ambient conditions or user
adjustment of the applicator tip. The Max Flow Rate
may be used to ensure a more consistent application
of material, and could result in material savings.
The default setting is 0. When set to 0, the system
does not limit the flow rate beyond what the pumps
are capable of delivering.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: The Max Flow Rate is a global set point that
applies to all recipes in the same way.
