POWER INTERRUPTION

Power was lost during a batch. Check your power source unless you

ALARM

intentionally killed the power during the batch.

PLC Battery Low

Change out the PLC battery with your spare

 

 

PLC Module Loaded

Check the input power. Verify that 110 volts (or 220 volts) are ±10%. This

 

voltage must remain constant with all the motors starting and stopping.

 

Insure that the blender is on a “clean” circuit that does not have other

 

equipment on it. If the power is known to be intermittent and have

 

problems, set up the unit to run in “AutoStart” mode. See the factory

 

setup sheet at the end of this manual. In this mode, if a short power

 

interruption occurs, the blender will automatically restart.

 

Check the power supply. Make sure that it has +5 VDC output to the CPU

 

board. Adjust to +5 VDC, ±0.1 volt.

 

Check the display ribbon cable connection to the CPU board and the

 

display. See the electrical chapter for more information.

 

Check the contrast adjustment located on the display board.

 

Check keyboard ribbon cable connections.

 

Check the CPU board for “lockup”. To do so, reset the CPU board by

 

cycling the power off and on at the motor control panel.
