Functional descriptions 

 

Pressure (4) 

This is the setpoint of the pressure of the hydraulic circuit in [mbar]. 

Suction pump (5) 

The suction pump works at partload. The partload value is defined percentage of the full 
load. 

Visco correction (6) 

The printer is supplied with a factory calibrated viscometer. The 

<Visco correction>

 is 

used for such calibrating purposes.  

Fall time (7)

 

This is the setpoint for the viscosity of the current ink. 

Nozzle (8) 

The size of the nozzle of the printer in [µm]. 

Oscillator Voltage (9)

 

The  setpoint  of  the  oscillator  voltage.  This  value  is  only  adjustable  through  a  special 
service access. 

Ink number (10)

 

The number of the currently used ink. 

Solvent number

 

(11)

 

The  number  of  the  solvent  suitable  for  the  current  ink.  This  value  is  set  automatically 
dependent on the current ink. 

Frequency

 

(12)

 

The setpoint of the frequency of the oscillator. 

Indicators for current values (13)

 

The pressure within the hydraulic circuit, the power consumption of the suction pump and 
the falltime (viscosity) are constantly measured and indicated. 

Spin buttons for settings (14)

 

All setpoints can be changed by using the spin buttons of the respective input fields. 

Drop-down list <Ink number> (15)

 

The drop-down list shows the available inks. 

Drop-down list <Frequencies> (16)

 

The drop-down list shows the available frequencies.
