Specialized Alarms

Setup > Blender Configuration > Specialized Alarms

Weigh Bin Loosing Weight Alarm –

When enabled, if the weigh bin weight drops more than 20 grams during a cycle

this alarm will sound. This serves to detect and report a weigh bin problem, such as material leaking from the bottom
of the bin.

Maximum Weight Exceeded Alarm –

When enabled, if the MAX (parameter) weight is exceeded, the system will

stop and the Alarm will sound. This might occur if a valve sticks open or slightly open. Normally the system recovers
automatically from such events with only the one batch blended incorrectly. Set the flag only if you want the system to
stop and alarm.

Batch Complete Alarm (Batch Mode) –

When enabled, the alarm will sound when the batch weight is complete.

See page 41 for details on Batch Mode.

Mix Motor Failure Alarm –

When enabled and used with the Mix Motor Failure Kit (KIT-075T), this alarm will sound

when the mix motor fails to move during intended operation.

Cycle Timeout Alarm –

When enabled, this alarm will sound when the MCT parameter is activated. When MCT is

used, it monitors sequential cycle times, and alarms (when alarm is enabled) if a cycle time exceeds the previous
cycle time by an amount that is not consistent with proper operation. This provides a means to detect mechanical
failures such as a sticking valve or weigh bin gate. For more information, see MCT the parameter on page 56.

Precision Ratio –

Precision Ratioing for Additives

Select this option to produce a precision ratioing of a selected Additive.  Press the displayed
Component (MAT 3, MAT 4, etc) to toggle between PRECISION RATIOING OFF, PRECISION
RATIO Material 1 ON, PRECISION RATIO Material 2 ON, etc.  Only those components already
designated as an ADDITIVE will be displayed. If precision rationing is selected, the specified
additive will dispense BEFORE the Naturals, instead of after.  Natural dispenses occur after the
selected additive dispense and are calculated to assure the most exact percentage ratio for the
selected component. Because the Natural dispenses are larger, this method allows for more exact
ratioing of the one selected critical component.

Dispense Order

- For recipes containing all regrind type components. Specify the dispense order

of active regrind components.  Select the components by selecting them in the order that they
should be dispensed.  Dispense order will display above. Clear will remove dispense order.  New
recipes will inherit dispense order.  Internally saved recipes will save the dispense order.
