Point
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. See

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. See

Interval
When transitioning from Standby mode to Mix mode,
fluid viscosities and high ratios may affect how
quickly fluid dynamics balance, which may result in
nuisance Exceed Max Flow or Differential Pressure
mixing alarms.
The Mix Balance Interval set point may be used
to enable a brief period at the start of a mix cycle
for fluids to balance before generating any mixing
alarms.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: The Mix Balance Interval timer only runs
while the gun is triggered. Setting this time to zero
turns the timer off.

Parking the pumps will help prevent material from
hardening on the pump rods. The Auto Park Pumps
timer will automatically park all pumps and turn off
pump power. The default value of 0 minutes turns
off this feature.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: The timer only runs while the system is in
Standby and all guns are purged to prevent volumes
from going off ratio.

Rate
The Max Flow Rate setting allows you to limit the
total flow rate 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.

Enable the Solvent Push option for the end of a
