Alarm Setup

There are several alarms in the blender control they are as follows:

No Flow -

No weight loss is being detected on the feeder in question. This would

 

indicate a faulty load cell, a material bridge in the re-fill hopper or

 

something obstructing load cell movement.

Re-fill too long -

Weigh hopper is not being re-filled in the allotted time. This would be

 

caused by the supply hoppers not be kept full. Check the loading system.

No material -

This means the weigh hopper is empty.

Load cell Failure - The controller is not properly reading the load cell. Check the load cell.

Load cell over ma x- The maximum weight limit on the load cell is exceeded. Check weigh hopper size and material bulk density.

Extruder No Flow - No weight-loss is being detected in the Mass Flow hopper. Make sure there is no material bridge above the extruder throat, or interference with the Mass Flow load cell.

Blender Cannot keep up - The extruder is running faster than the augers will allow the blender to run.

There are several options to set for the above listed alarms. The following explains the options and how to set them up.
