The bag should be changed and the counting will continue upon pressing the START switch. This feature
prevents double filling a bag.
If the bags are changed after each batch, the feeder stays on until the bowl is empty, at which point the
feeder stops and the message "BOWL EMPTY" is displayed. If this should occur, the number of batches
counted can be recalled by pressing the ENTER/YES switch.
The feeder may also be manually stopped by pressing the STOP switch or optional foot-switch.
4.3.4 MULTIPLE BATCH Mode
Press the MULTIPLE BATCH 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 "GROUP
OK?". The BATCH and GROUP displays are used only in this mode. The GROUP display will show the
current Group, the COUNT display will show the terminal count for the displayed GROUP, and the BATCH
display will show the number of batches in the displayed Group. If both the COUNT and BATCH numbers
are correct, this Group should be confirmed with ENTER/YES. If either of these numbers are wrong,
pressing CLEAR/NO will allow modification of COUNT and then BATCH. Entering a new terminal count is
accomplished by pressing CLEAR/NO and entering the value on the numeric keypad followed by
ENTER/YES. A new number may then be entered for BATCH followed by ENTER/YES.
Additional Groups are entered in a similar manner. Up to 99 Groups may be entered, and each Group
may contain up to 99 Batches.
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, but will stop the feeder and indicate "CHECK BAG". The feeder may be
restarted as above at this point, after checking the bag.
Seeds are counted in batches as in BATCH REPEAT mode until the number of Batches in a Group are
completed. At this point, the feeder will stop and the display will prompt the operator to "CHECK BAG
SIZE--PRESS START TO RESUME... NEXT GROUP--". The next Group is then counted similarly, and
this action continues until all Groups are complete, at which time "FINISHED" will appear on the message
display. If the bag detector is turned off, the Group will count to completion, alternating chutes for each
Batch in the Group regardless of whether the bags are changed, or even present.
