Alarm Number Explanation:

The alarms are given in individual bits and are reflected in the alarm number. The alarm number is only used to drive a pop-up message and will probably not be very useful to you. If you decide to use the alarm number instead of reading the individual alarm bits then the related values are shown below:

D1876 Value	Alarm Description
0=	NO ALARM
1=	HOPPER 1	Out of Material	1
2=	HOPPER 2	Out of Material	2
3=	HOPPER 3	Out of Material	3
4=	HOPPER 4	Out of Material	4
5=	HOPPER 5	Out of Material	5
6=	HOPPER 6	Out of Material	6


7=	POWER INTERRUPTION while metering a Batch
8=	PLC BATTER LOW		Check PLC and Configure the Blender
9=	MAX HOPPER WEIGHT EXCEEDED. CHECK BATCH SIZE
10=	CALIBRATION ERROR. Clean out weigh hopper and check calibration
12=	HOPPER 1	Low Level
13=	HOPPER 2	Low Level
14=	HOPPER 3	Low Level
15=	HOPPER 4	Low Level
16=	HOPPER 5	Low Level
17=	HOPPER 6	Low Level

FIXED DECIMAL EXPLANATION

All weight values and recipe values use fixed decimal. This must be taken into consideration when writing or reading values. If you see “xxx.xxx” above this means the data is in fixed decimal and must be scaled when reading or writing. A decimal is shown next to each item to represent the format.
