Stopping a Manual Mode Job (Timed Run)

Timed runs will automatically stop when the scheduled run time is complete. The screen
will display “Successful Finish” with a time stamp and run duration. To resume to the
Manual Mode screen press the OK button.

To stop a timed job that is currently running, press and hold the

Stop

button. When the

job stops the screen will display “Unscheduled Finish” with a time stamp and run
duration. To resume to the Manual Mode screen press the OK button.

When failure mode is activated during a run, the job is paused automatically and can
be resumed upon failure reset. “Unscheduled Finish” is displayed with a time stamp and
net mixing time after manually stopping or automatic finishing of the run. To resume to
the Manual Mode screen press the OK button.

Pausing and Resuming a Manual Job

To pause the current job, press and hold the

Pause

button. To resume the job from

where it was paused, press and hold the

Resume

button.

P.6 Remote Mode

The remote mode allows you to control the LevMixer from external equipment to which
the mixer is connected. Supervisor and Maintenance user levels can switch the mixer
between remote and local control.

Signal circuits for remote control pass through the control box via two connectors
located on the back of the control box. With a remote control panel, the operator is
able to:



Start/Stop the motor



Change the speed of rotation



Read the speed of rotation



Read alarms



Read the unit mode status

While the LevMixer is in Remote mode the impeller rotation control is available only via
the remote control unit. The LevMixer screen indicates speed of impeller for local
monitoring only. When the control is switched back to local (LevMixer) the remote
control unit can only monitor the speed of rotation and alarm status.

When in remote mode the mixer automatically switches to Manual Mode stop status
when any alarms are activated.

To use the remote mode:



Press

Remote Mode

on the Main Menu. The Remote Mode screen opens in

“Local Control” status indicated in status bar (Figure 54).



To switch control to any remote equipment connected to the mixer, first
make sure that the equipment is correctly connected to the LevMixer and
powered up. Then press and hold the

Switch Control to Remote

button on

the Remote Mode screen.
