Operator Interface and Control
The Wand Mixer
is sealed for water/spray resistance.
Note: The Wand Mixer
is sealed for water/spray resistance.
The controls are located on the face panel of the control box. They include: a touchscreen controller, quick
adjustment keys, power switch, and emergency stop push button. In addition, connections for remote control are
available on the left side panel of the control box as shown in Figure 6.
Most control functionality is provided to the user through the touchscreen interface including activation of
functions, display of system information, and alarm status. The Wand Mixer can be operated in one of three modes
selected by the operator from the Main Menu: Manual Mode, Automatic Mode, and Remote Mode. Each mode
includes a specific set of functions to support processing requirements.
In case of emergency the operator can stop rotation of the motor by pressing the E-Stop button on the face panel.
This can be done during any mode of operation. Doing so halts motor rotation and activates the system Failure
mode while leaving other functions of the drive unit in operation. To reset the unit, release the E-stop button by
pulling it up until it clicks, then acknowledge the alarm on the touchscreen.
Upon returning the unit to operation after reset of interruption and/or power cycling there is no rotation initiated
until intentional action of the operator.
