pulsed operation. The first three digits (001xx) controls ON time in tenths of seconds. The last two digits (xxx01) controls OFF time. Larger numbers produce slower dispense rates without any increase in accuracy. Smaller numbers may not allow enough time for the slide to shift fully.
Pulsed Output may also assist in dispensing regrind and some powders when these materials tend to bridge. A parameter of 00501 will produce a 1/2 second open time (5/10 seconds), a long enough time to allow a significant dispense, followed by a 1/10 second close time, just enough to close the gate fully. The rapid gate movement may help in keeping material flowing.

MPO sets the timing, in tenths of seconds the clockwise and counterclockwise timing of the mix blade. MPO 00010 is 1 second for each direction.

00001 | to 09 | = | ALARM, Continue retries. | ||
00011 | to 19 | = | ALARM, Stop | retries, | Continue process. |
00021 | to 29 | = | ALARM, Stop | retries, | Stop process. |
00031 | to 39 | = | NO ALARM, Stop retries, Continue process. | ||
00000 = no alarm, | no pause in | process, | no retries. This is the normal | ||
alarm configuration for | the Regrind dispense. | ||||
00001 to 00009 = sound alarm after specified number of retries and continue retries until successful. The process will not continue until the fault condition is corrected. The last digit determines the number of retries before sounding the alarm. This is appropriate for all important components; natural, color, and additive, and sometimes regrind.
00011 to 00019 = sound alarm after specified number of retries but then stop the retries and continue with the remainder of the cycle. The alarm will continue until the fault condition is corrected or until the next cycle begins. The last digit determines the number of retries before sounding the alarm. This would be appropriate if you wish to make several attempts at a dispense, such as regrind, but you wish the process to continue even without the component.
00021 to 00029 = same as 1 to 9, Stop Process, Sound Alarm, but NO more retries. Just sound alarm and wait. Press the RESET button to clear alarm and start the retries again. Appropriate ONLY if you absolutely want operator intervention to occur when material runs low. In other words you do not want any automatic loading or
