Conair GB Blender User Manual


 
any other 5 digit number, if you wish, as explained later (*45). When
in the MANUAL mode, the letter "M" shows at the left end of display.
The following manual functions are available in the MANUAL mode.
OPERATE: Press once followed by one of 16 keys: 1 through 9, A, B,
(OPER) C, DUMP, ALRM, MIX, or HOLD. The selected output operates
until the key is pressed again or another output is
selected. Only 1 output will be active at a time.
EXIT will exit the sequence and close all outputs.
TIMED: Press once followed by one of 12 component keys. A time in
(TIME) interrupts is requested; (TIME ---). Three digits must be
entered specifying a dispense time up to 999 interrupts
(about 4 seconds maximum.) CE will cancel entry before last
digit is entered. Following a full 3 digit time entry, the
specified output is activated for the time requested. After
the dispense is weighed, the dump valve automatically
operates to empty the weigh bin. If a printer is on line
and the Print flag is ON, then output information will be
printed. EXIT will exit the sequence.
CALIBRATE: (RATE) Press once followed by one of the 12 component keys.
(CAL) A dispense will occur for 2 seconds. If the amount
dispensed is less then 50 grams, a second dispense will
occur for 20 seconds. Using the resulting weight and time,
the processor calculates a proper beginning point dump rate
for the start of production blending. After each dispense
is weighed, the weigh bin dump valve automatically operates
to empty the weigh bin. If a printer is on line and the
Print flag is ON (see KEYPAD *54), then output information
will be printed. EXIT will exit the sequence.
If the display says (DO AGAIN), press any key to cause the
process to repeat itself. If the display then says
( NO GOOD), the dispense weight was below 2 grams, not
enough for a valid calibration.
During initial operation, after each power up, the blender
calibrates itself completely automatically, regardless of
how far off the initial flow rate may be. This may take
several cycles. During normal operation, calibration
correction occurs continuously.
Since this unit adjusts flow rates automatically, manual
Rate Calibration is not necessary for proper operation.
ZERO WT. THIS HAS BEEN DONE AT THE FACTORY. IT SHOULD NOT BE
(ZERO) NECESSARY FOR YOU TO DO THIS AGAIN.
For this key to function, you must first set the weight
calibration flag ON. Press *99 to observe flag status.
Press * to toggle flag ON or OFF. With flag set ON, press
EXIT. Power-off always resets this flag to OFF.
Press the ZERO key once to set the displayed gram weight of
the empty bin to zero. BE SURE the load cells are plugged
into the controller. Be sure the bin is properly in place
