6.2.3 Auto Mode
Overview
The auto mode is used to run a program, initialize the rotary dispense system’s home position
and purge the valve or syringe. When the rotary dispense station is in the auto mode, it will
display “Auto Mode” on the left side of the display and the program number in the upper right
hand side of the display.
Notice:
If “Repeat” is displayed to the right of “Auto”, the rotary dispense system is
actually in auto repeat mode. Please use caution as the unit will cycle continuously without input
from the operator in auto repeat mode.
Notice:
If it is desired to change the program number while in “Auto” mode, you must
enter the programming mode by pressing the mode button twice. If you are in “Auto Repeat”
Mode you will need to press the mode button three times to enter the programming mode.
