The following manual functions are available in the MANUAL mode.
SETTING: Press once followed by one of 3 keys: REG, COL, or ADD. The
(SET) current thumbwheel setting is displayed. If, while in the
program mode, the keypad was used to enter this setting then
it will not match the thumbwheel setting.
EXIT will exit the sequence.
OPERATE: Press once followed by one of 8 keys: REG, NAT, COL, ADD,
(OPER) DUP, ALM, 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 4 keys: REG, NAT, COL, or
(TIME) ADD. A time in interrupts is requested; (TIME ---). Three
digits must be entered specifying a dispense time up to 999
interrupts (about 4 seconds max.). 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 and then press one of 4 keys: REG, NAT,
(CAL) COL, or ADD. 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 weight dispensed was below 5 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.
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
and EMPTY when this key is pressed.
