3. Select a feeder (1-6) by touching the “Select Feeder” box.

Alarm/No Alarm on “Out of Material,” and Out of Material Alarm Silence Delay (0-

An alarm message will be shown if any alarm condition occurs. A message will pop up on
the screen until the alarm condition is resolved. The operator can press “OK” on this pop-up
to hide the screen temporarily, but if the alarm condition is still unresolved, then the message
will reappear after a short delay. During an alarm condition, not only will a visual alarm
show up on the screen but also an audible alarm will sound. The audible alarm will sound for
10 seconds and reappear every 30 seconds until the cause of the alarm is resolved. The
following is a list of all alarm names and descriptions:
• Hopper 1-6 Out of Material: This alarm indicates that a hopper is out of material and
signals the operator that they should check the resin system.
• Max Hopper Weight Exceeded, check batch size: This alarm indicates that the
weight in the weigh hopper has exceeded the maximum allowed weight. This alarm
can happen if the operator changes material density and does not perform a feeder
calibration, but will usually be automatically fixed after the first batch. As long as this
alarm doesn’t continue to reappear, then the operator should not be concerned. If the
alarm continues to occur, then the operator should have maintenance check the
blender.
