To enable this feature, simply enter a desired shutdown weight value (from 1 to 999999999) into the Inventory Shutdown display line of the Recipe Format screen, under the Setup menu.
This feature can be configured while the blender is making a batch. If the Inventory Shutdown is changed, then you will need to touch “Accept New Recipe” on the Recipe screen before the change can take place. This allows stored recipes with different Inventory Shutdown settings to easily be loaded without the operator having to reconfigure the blender every time they want to load a stored recipe.
To disable this feature, simply enter a zero (0) value.
Batch Ready Mode
This enables the blender to have a batch already made in the weigh hopper while the mixer is full. Enabling this feature dramatically increases the maximum achievable blender rate.
Auto Start Feature
By enabling this feature, the blender accurately finishes a batch that was interrupted by loss of blender power. This option starts the blender if it was running prior to power loss. It does not turn on the blender if it was previously stopped prior to power loss.
