When type FT-
13 is in the “Ready” status (the top LED in the
LED bar is “on” ) press the keys shown on the left
sequentially.
The emptying delay time is used to empty the weighing
hopper. When the weight goes into the zero range the
“d_diSc” delay time starts and the gate will be closed at the
end of this period. It can be entered up to 9.9 seconds.
The gate closing delay time is used to check if the gate is
opened or closed within this period. If the gate has not
changed its position within this period, an error signal will be
created. It can be entered up to 9.9 seconds.
The end of the emptying output is hold for this time period. It
can be entered up to 25.0 seconds.
The clamp release delay time is used to open the clamp at
the end of the vibration process. It can be entered up to 25.0
seconds.
Emptying type. If it is set to
“1”, the weight value is monitored
to assure the emptying. The zeroing range and the emptying
delay time determine
the end of emptying. In case of “0” the
weight value will not be monitored. The emptying is finished
after the
emptying delay time “d_diSC”.
Gate position check.
0 = No. No need for a gate switch.
1 = Gate position control is enabled. A gate switch signal is
required.
Zero range.
At emptying cycle: If E_tYPE=1 and the weight value is less
than zero range value, emptying delay time starts to end
emptying cycle.
At filling cycle: Filling starts if the weight value is in Zero
range.
