4. The screen shown below allows the operator to control the blender.
The blender can be started or stopped and the recipe values can
be changed. Other data shown on this screen consists of the mixer
status, recipe status, and feeder type data. The Recipe Screen
should startup in the “Quick Set” mode. If so, enter a valid recipe.
If not, the blender can be reconfigured for Quick Set, Percent, or
Parts by entering the Setup menu and pressing the Recipe Format
key. Then select the mode following the key prompt on the screen.
To access the Setup Menu to change the Recipe Mode and other
controller features, refer to the Appendix in Section 12 of this
manual.
5. The operator can startup the blender by selecting the button that
says, “Push to Start or Stop” (startup) on the left side of the Recipe
Screen, depending on whether the blender is currently running or is
stopped. Simply touch the button to either start or stop the blender.
If the operator selects “Stop Blender” then the current batch in
progress is first finished and then the blender will stop making new
batches.
To immediately stop the blender, the operator can touch “Abort
Current Batch.” This will cause the blender to stop making the
current batch immediately. Obviously, if the blender is stopped in
this method then the current batch will not be completed properly.
