Parameters
–
All Dryers operate according to certain internal PARAMETERS. Because
customer requirements vary widely, we have made a wide range of parameters accessible
for change through the touchscreen. Parameters are grouped into the following
categories: Blower, Heater, System, Dispensing, Load-Cell, and Vacuum. Parameters
are covered on page 40.
Setup is divided into two categories: Dryer Configuration and System Configuration.
Dryer Configuration includes device specific settings such as: Alarm Setup, Auto-Stop Setup, Dry
Purge Setup, Preheat Setup, Auto-Start Setup, Convey Setup, Load-Cell Setup, and Parameters.
System Configuration includes system wide general settings such as: print options, diagnostics,
resets, system preferences, and communications settings.
The following section describes the features within the Setup Menu.
