Option: end with bin full to tell the controller to end a cycle when the weigh bin is EMPTY or end
with the bin FULL. The BIN FULL option is only for special installations where the sensor has
been relocated BELOW the mix chamber and the instructions to do otherwise.
Weight Bin Dump Options – Weigh Bin Double Dump
Select Optional: Operate Twice option to cause the weigh bin dump valve to operate two times.
We call this a "double dump". If you have problems with material hanging up in the weigh pan,
this may help shake it loose. Select Optional to operate Dump the dump valve twice. Select
Standard to operate the Dump valve once. Press EXIT when done.
Volumetric Operation – Used to put the controller in Volumetric Mode. Enabled or Disabled.
Press the green check when done. When power is turned off this flag is always reset to Disabled
(OFF). With this flag Enabled (VOLUMETRIC operation ON), the load cells are completely
ignored. Error correction and rate recalibration does not take place. The unit functions like a
volumetric feeder without checking or correcting for errors. Since load cell readings are ignored,
this flag allows operation even if the load cells become damaged. Dispense times will be based
entirely on the WT and TI parameters.
Alternate Liquid Color –
Alternate Liquid Color allows automatic switch over from Liquid Color
component 10 to liquid color component 11 when component 10 runs out. When component 11
runs out, component 11 automatically switches back to component 10 and so on. Starting and
alternate components are stored in the LIQ parameter (01011). 2nd and 3rd digits are the starting
component (default: 10), 3rd and 4th digits are the alternate component (default: 11).
Timed Operations – Dispenses a component for a set time.
Setup > Blender Configuration > Timed Operations
Enter the component number (hopper number 1 through 12). Enter a time in milliseconds. Press ENTER to
dispense the component for the time requested. After the dispense is weighed, the dump valve automatically
operates to empty the weigh bin. The output information will be printed to the screen. Insert a USB flash drive and
press the USB button to print the screen to a text file on the drive. EXIT will exit the screen.
