ALL AIR SOLENOID outputs
There is a single 17 pin Amphenol plug located on the front of the control panel. This provides
output of all 24 volt signals to drive the air solenoids. These power sources are transistor driven
and are protected by the 1/2 amp panel fuse. See the wiring diagram section for the correct
wiring to each pin.
COLOR and ADDITIVE power outlets (certain models only)
Each outlet puts out 120 volts (220 volts outside U.S.A.) through internal plug-in solid state
relays rated at 5 amps and fused at 3 amps. These relay outputs are designed to drive motors
or other devices requiring power up to 3 amps each.
The COLOR outlet is driven based on the COLOR setting. The ADDITIVE outlet follows the
ADDITIVE setting. COLOR dispense occurs first but has no effect on the ADDITIVE dispense.
The amount of each dispense is calculated based on the NATURAL dispense that precedes
them.
Do Not use these outlets to power other devices such
as Ethernet to Serial converters.
PANEL FUSE for processor - 1/2 amp
Fuses power to the circuit board power supply, which includes all solenoid outputs and
solid-state relay outputs.
PANEL FUSE for duplex receptacle - 3 amp
Fuses the common power wire of the duplex receptacle (the color and additive
outputs). Since these outlets are only turned on one at a time, each is protected to the
full 3 amp rating of the fuse.
POWER ON switch
Controls all power to the controller and all outputs. When power is switched off, battery backed-
up RAM preserves all internal totals and parameters. All other functions are reset for normal
start-up when power is restored.
Strobe Light
Beeper Alarm
STROBE LIGHT and BEEPER ALARMS
The Strobe light flashes and the Beeper sounds when a component fails to meter properly.
Alarms begin after a number of retries have occurred, this number determined by the parameter
table (see Parameters, _AL). These alarms can also indicate an out-of-range TARE weight.
This range is set by the TL and TH parameters; above 100 or below -50 grams.
