Extruder Setup

Use this page to setup the Maximum Extruder RPM. This is critical for GH Monitor units and GHF feeder units. This value is automatically calculated with GH Full Control units.

Also for GHF Feeder units you will need to program in the maximum LBS/HR of the extruder for the feeder’s target LBS/HR calculation.

Hauloff Setup and Encoder Calibration Page (GH Full Control ONLY)

Use this page to enable the hauloff option of the GH Full Control Unit. The unit should be set to “Do not read speed from COEX Master” if a COEX AB does not exist. If it does then this setting is automatically setup by the COEX Master. The Hauloff max speed must be entered if you are not using an encoder (see mechanical options to turn this feature on/off). If you are using an encoder then you must calibrate the encoder by running the line at a known speed, hand measuring the line speed with a tachometer, entering the speed into the ft/min box, and then clicking the “click here” box. You can also manually modify this calibration by adjusting the “Distance per revolution of encoder”.
