Sterling Plumbing 882.00253.00 Activating and Stopping Priority Convey for a Station

Activating and Stopping Priority Convey for a Station

Note: Before activating priority convey, make sure that all other stations using the same pump have adequate material in reserve to continue operation. No material will be conveyed to these stations during priority convey.

If you want the controller to fill a specific station with material immediately, you can activate “priority convey” for that station. When you do so, the controller temporarily dedicates the station’s pump to it, ignoring demands from other stations assigned to that pump. Once the chosen station is full, normal operation resumes.

You can also use this feature to give one station a “head start” by conveying a few loads to it and then stopping the priority convey.

No more than one station for a given pump can be in “priority convey” at once. To activate priority convey, complete the following steps:

1.Go to the “Station Operator” by touching and holding a station icon, or go to the “Station Setup” screen.

2.Touch PRIORITY CONVEY ACTIVATE. The button changes to PRIORITY CONVEY ACTIVE until the station’s demand has been satisfied (or you stop the priority convey). The controller begins filling the chosen station only (after finishing any conveying already in progress).

3.To stop a priority convey before the station is completely full, Touch the PRIORITY CONVEY ACTIVE button. The button changes to PRIORITY CONVEY ACTIVATE. The controller finishes the current convey, if any, and resumes normal operation.

Navigating among the “Station Operator” Screens

The controls at the top of the screen enable you to move among the “Station Operator” screens:

•To display the screen for the next lower-numbered station (for example, to move from the screen for Station 15 to the screen for Station 14), touch PREVIOUS.

•To display the screen for the next higher-numbered station (for example, to move from the screen for Station 15 to the screen for Station 16), touch Next.

•To exit to the “Station Status” (or “Pump Status”) screen, touch STATION STATUS

(or PUMP STATUS).
