Upon pressing ENTER/YES to confirm the sensitivity value, the message display will indicate "COUNT
OK?" and the COUNT display will flash the current terminal count. It should be set to the number of seeds
desired in the batch, and will proceed to count down to zero (0) from that value. Entering a new terminal
count is accomplished by pressing CLEAR/NO and entering the value on the numeric keypad followed by
ENTER/YES.
The BATCH and GROUP displays have no function in this mode.
After placing the seeds to be counted in the bowl, the feeder is started by pressing START or the external
foot-switch. If the bag detector is on, a bag must be present on one of the chutes in order to start the
feeder (It doesn't matter which chute the bag is on, as the 801 will automatically select the one with a
bag). The feeder stays on until the batch is counted, at which point the feeder stops and the message
"FINISHED" is displayed. The feeder may also be manually stopped by pressing the STOP switch or
optional foot-switch. The feeder will also stop if the bag detector is on and the bag is removed during
counting.

BATCH REPEAT Mode
Press the BATCH REPEAT switch to select this mode any time the feeder is not running. The message
display will indicate "SPEED OK?" and the SPEED display will flash the current speed setting. This may
be adjusted up or down with the arrows under the SPEED display, followed by ENTER/YES. It may also
be changed by entering a numeric value between 00 and 99 followed by ENTER/YES.
Next the message display will indicate "SENS. OK?" and the SENSITIVITY display will flash the current
sensitivity value. The SENSITIVITY is adjusted in a similar manner utilizing the arrows under the
SENSITIVITY display.
Upon pressing ENTER/YES to confirm the sensitivity value, the message display will indicate "COUNT
OK?" and the COUNT display will flash the current terminal count. It should be set to the number of seeds
desired in each batch, and will proceed to count down to zero (0) from that value. Entering a new terminal
count is accomplished by pressing CLEAR/NO and entering the value on the numeric keypad followed by
ENTER/YES.
The BATCH and GROUP displays have no function in this mode.
After placing the seeds to be counted in the bowl, the feeder is started by pressing START or the external
foot-switch. If the bag detector is turned on, at least one bag must be present in order for the feeder to
start, but normally two bags will be present in this mode. The 801 will not deliver seeds into an empty
chute with the bag detector on.
Seeds are counted into one chute until the count reaches zero, the diverter gate then switches to the other
chute, the terminal count is reloaded, and counting continues into the other chute. The MESSAGE
DISPLAY will indicate the number of BATCHES that have been counted. If the bag detector is turned off,
this action will continue indefinitely, alternating delivery chutes, as long as there are seeds in the bowl. If,
however, the bag detector is turned on, a filled bag on either chute must be changed before seeds will
again be delivered into that chute. Otherwise, the feeder will stop and the message display will indicate
"CHECK BAG".
