Dispense Station
In Dispense Station Mode, material is dispensed up to a target weight and then the Dispense
Station stops and alarms. Dispense Station is enabled under System Configuration, Mode of
Operation.
When in Dispense Station mode, a button labeled "Dispense Station" will be at the bottom center
of the Home Screen.
Dispense Station Screen Description:

Dispenser Target Weight - Target Dispense Weight (pounds or kilograms). This target
weight is entered using the keypad.

Current Portion - The accumulated amount of the current dispense. This value can be
cleared by touching the field and pressing CLEAR. Clearing this value during a dispense
cycle will restart the dispense.

Accumulated Total - The accumulated total amount (pounds or kilograms) of all dispenses
since last cleared. This value can be cleared by touching the field and pressing CLEAR.
Clearing this value reset the accumulated total of all dispenses back to zero.

Dispense Count - The accumulated count of all dispenses since last cleared. This value
can be cleared by touching the field and pressing CLEAR. Clearing this value reset the
Dispense Count total back to zero.

End of Dispense Alarm is ON.

screen or the Home Screen.
Automation of the Dispense Start
Level sensor input can be used to automate a start or restart of a dispense. This can be done by
supplying a contact closure between the small outer pin and the center pin of the level sensor
connector.
Since the Mix Motor is not used for a Dispense Station, the output is used to signal the end of a
dispense by supplying 110v output on the Mix Motor connector at the completion of a Dispense.
When the next Dispense is started Mix Motor voltage returns to zero.
