5.3.2 Stopping or Pausing a Run
To stop a program, touch the Stop button on the RUN SCREEN (Figure 9), the button will dim or
turn a muted red and the program will end. If the Run button is touched after the program has
stopped then the entire program will start over.
To pause during a grinding program, touch the Pause button. Note: The TIME REMANING line
will turn yellow which indicates run time is inactive. The run will hold the settings at that
moment (elapsed time, cycle, etc.). At this point the door to the sample area can be opened. To
resume the program, touch the Resume button. This will restart the program at the point at
which it was paused. Alternatively, pressing Stop will end the program.
5.4 Changing Settings
To change parameters (run time, pause time, cycles, and
rate), touch the arrow buttons on the CONTROL PANEL
screen. Touching the plus symbol increases the
parameter, while touching the minus symbol decreases
the parameter. Tap or hold the right or left arrow buttons
until the desired number is reached. The changes will
appear in the blue area between the arrows, as shown
in Figure 10. The maximum run time is 20 minutes for
1 cycle. If running 2 to 5 cycles the maximum run time
per cycles is 10 minutes. The minimum Rest is 15
seconds per cycle for 2 to 5 cycles. To run a program
with the new settings, touch the Run button.
NOTE: If the run parameters are changed to a Protocol
and not saved then (MOD) will appear to the right of
the Protocol name at the bottom center of the screen.
