It is not necessary to enter a speed (g/s) because the terminal already has entered standard values and the GraviMaster calculates new speeds and updates the recipe.

Step: Press the arrow-key <ο> to select the next hopper number.

Depending on the model, it is possible to use upto 12 hoppers.

The terminal has a keyboard but the keyboard doesn’t contain characters. Therefore it is possible to connect a standard AT keyboard to the terminal. This keyboard must connect to a connector which is placed on the PCB in the terminal. When using a AT keyboard, than:

•Switch power off the terminal

•Disconnect the internal keypath from the PC board

•Connect the AT keyboard on the PC board

•Switch on the terminal

Now you can use the AT-keyboard. When you are ready, than connect the terminal-keyboard again. This has to be done when the terminal is switched off.

3.2.3Change current recipe

When an operator wishes to produce a new product a change of the current recipe must be done. To change the current recipe select menu (F1) ‘controller / select recipe’. The terminal now shows a list with all recipes. The recipe which is marked with an <↓> is the actual recipe, this recipe is also loaded in the controller.

IMPORTANT

When a new recipe is selected be sure that all hoppers are filled with material. The controller calculates new dispense-rates by a fast algorithm in the first 5 batches.
