It is not necessary to enter a speed (g/s) because the terminal already has entered
standard values and the GraviMaster calculates new speeds and updates the recipe.
Step: Press the arrow-key <ο> to select the next hopper number.
Depending on the model, it is possible to use upto 12 hoppers.
The terminal has a keyboard but the keyboard doesn’t contain characters. Therefore it is
possible to connect a standard AT keyboard to the terminal. This keyboard must connect to
a connector which is placed on the PCB in the terminal. When using a AT keyboard, than:
• Switch power off the terminal
• Disconnect the internal keypath from the PC board
• Connect the AT keyboard on the PC board
• Switch on the terminal
Now you can use the AT-keyboard. When you are ready, than connect the terminal-keyboard
again. This has to be done when the terminal is switched off.
3.2.3 Change current recipe
When an operator wishes to produce a new product a change of the current recipe must be
done. To change the current recipe select menu (F1) ‘controller / select recipe’. The terminal
now shows a list with all recipes. The recipe which is marked with an <↓> is the actual
recipe, this recipe is also loaded in the controller.
IMPORTANT
When a new recipe is selected be sure that all hoppers are fi lled with material. The controller
calculates new dispense-rates by a fast algorithm in the fi rst 5 batches.
