Mitsubishi Electronics 882.00273.00 specifications Recipe Format Menu

Page 49

Upon Start Up, the blender controller will default to the “Recipe Menu” screen.

The “Recipe Book” screen can be accessed in the “Recipe Page” and is useful in storing and retrieving recipes.

The Recipe format option can be accessed in the Setup screen and is used to select one of three available formats: “Quickset” Mode, Percentage Mode or Parts Mode. (“Quickset” mode is the default setting preset at the factory.) In addition, every feeder in the blending system does not need to have values entered (Percentage or Parts recipe formats), or a material type (REGRIND, NATURAL, or ADDITIVE) in “Quickset” Mode recipe format.

Recipe Format Menu:

•“Quickset” Recipe, Percentage or Parts

•Metering Order

•Batch Size

•Inventory Shutdown

•“Batch ready” mode

•“Auto start” mode

•Weigh every batch options

The Recipe Format screen allows the user to change many parameters concerning the way that the recipe is entered by the operator. It is accessed by touching the manufacturer’s icon on either the Recipe screen or the Inventory Screen. The user must enter in the User Password to gain access (see User Password Setup for details.). The following Recipe Modes are described on the next few pages.
