*) 

If this error occurs frequently contact your dealer

 

**) 

Other problems which initiate this error are:

 

  

- The weighbinDumpTime too short

 

  

- Weighbin valve touches the material when mixerchamber is full

 

  

When the second problem occurs the position of the mixerchamber-sensor must be set 

  

lower. This actions affects the total production capacity of your system.

 

***)  Through a too short dispense valve opening time, the machine could think that there is 
  

no material in the hopper. There are three possible reasons for this.

 

  

-1 dispense accuracy is too narrow

 

  

-2 dispense speed is too high

 

  

-3 number of dispense attempts is too low solutions:

 
 

  

-1 increase dispense accuracy (§ 3.5.2)

 

  

-2 adjust speed in recipe (§ 3.2.2)

 

  

-3 increase number of attempts (§ 3.5.2)

 

An error message on the terminal must be confi rmed by pressing the <ENTER>-key. The 
terminal stores all error messages these can be displayed by the menu (F1) 

‘controller / alarm 

history’

. This screen shows the last 256 errors and the number of times the error occurred. The 

error-list can de cleared by pressing (F2) option button and choose clear, with this button it is 
also possible to print a report of alarms, select ‘print alarm history’ and push <ENTER>.
