NATURAL second:
The NATURAL dispense occurs next in the sequence. The letter "N" will appear in the display. The exact weight of the NATURAL dispensed is now determined for calculating the COLOR and ADDITIVE dispenses. The TOTAL weight of NATURAL and REGRIND combined will appear in the display 3 seconds AFTER the Natural dispense has ended.
COLOR third and ADDITIVE fourth:
COLOR is dispensed followed by ADDITIVE as requested by the thumbwheel switch settings. Each dispense must meet requirements set by internal parameters or RETRIES will occur and the sequence will not continue.
MATERIAL RUNS OUT:
If any material runs out or is not enough to meet criteria set by the internal parameters then the process will NOT CONTINUE past this component. RETRIES of this dispense will occur indefinitely until the full dispense occurs or power is turned off. The display will FLASH. The ALARM will sound after 4 retries. This number of retries before alarm is based on the ALARM (_AL) parameters. REGRIND may, or may not, be set to ALARM when it runs out. See PARAMETERS, (RAL 00000), to change this.
If ALARM flashes:
More than four retries of any single component will cause the strobe light ALARM to begin flashing. The component that is causing the alarm will continue to retry the dispense. The display will blink and the LETTER in the display will signify which component is causing the problem. To continue with the dispense sequence, you must satisfy the requirements of the dispense or turn power off.
WEIGH BIN dump:
After all dispenses the weigh bin is emptied by the final dump of the weigh bin into the mixing chamber. The dump valve remains open for six seconds.
SENSOR covered:
While the sensor is covered, the dump valve remains open to ensure the weigh bin empties completely. Dispensing stops. The dump valve will remain open for as long as the sensor is covered. Uncovering the sensor will begin the next cycle.
FLOW CONTROL Valve: (optional)
If your unit has a Flow Control Valve under the mix chamber, this valve will stay closed for the 6 seconds immediately following a dispense into the mix chamber. (time is based on the FCV parameter). At all other times it opens when the sensor is covered, and closes when the sensor has been uncovered for 2 full seconds.
