Sterling BF3-600 Determining the Configuration Value, Extrusion Constant or Proportional

Page 49

If a current signal is available (0 - 20 mA) calculate the frequency output of the extruder for the lower / upper working area using the formula:

Frequency [Hz] = Input current [mA] x 10000 [Hz]

	20 [mA]
Note the data:
Min. input frequency = __________ Hz
Max. input frequency = __________ Hz
Calculate the span factor using the formula:
Span factor [Hz / rpm] =	Frequency [Hz]____________
	Rotational speed of the extruder [rpm]x 10

Note the data:

Span factor = __________

Determining the Configuration Value

Extrusion (Constant or Proportional):

Mark the functions required. Use the numerical value indicated and insert it in the empty field if applicable. Total the figures for configuration value.
