Partial convey

When this option is enabled, the controller

disabled,

disabled

 

issues a “partial convey” alarm if it has

enabled

 

 

repeatedly attempted to convey material to the

 

 

 

station, and material has moved from the station

 

 

 

into the receiver, but the volume-fill proximity

 

 

 

sensor has never signaled that the station is full.

 

 

 

(The number of attempts is controlled by the

 

 

 

next setting.)

 

 

 

For a volume-fill station, this option should

 

 

 

usually be enabled. At times, you may wish to

 

 

 

disable it during operation as a stopgap

 

 

 

measure for dealing with an alarm. For a time-fill

 

 

 

station, disable this option.

Number of attempts before alarm: the number of

3

 

times the controller will attempt to convey

 

 

 

material to a station before it issues a “partial

 

 

 

convey” alarm.

 

 

 

The setting for this option depends on the same

 

 

 

considerations as those given above for number

 

 

 

of attempts before a “no convey” alarm.

 

 

Option Input

 

 

 

Receiver low level

When this option is enabled, the controller

disabled,

disabled

 

issues a “receiver level” alarm if material in the

enabled

 

 

receiver drains below the level of the receiver’s

 

 

 

low-level sensor.

 

 

 

Enable this option if and only if your facility has

 

 

 

installed a low-level sensor for this station’s

 

 

 

receiver. At times, you may wish to disable it

 

 

 

during operation as a stopgap measure for

 

 

 

dealing with an alarm.

 

 

Bypass switch

When this option is enabled, a switch at the

 

 

 

station is used to disable/”bypass” the station.

 

 

Grinder empty

When this option is enabled, a proximity switch

 

 

 

is used to verify that material is present in the

 

 

 

grinder bin. The station will only be conveyed to

 

 

 

when the receiver is empty and the grinder bin

 

 

 

has material.

 

 

Grinder empty with

added to the grinder empty option described

 

 

 

above. If the grinder bin has material and the

 

 

 

receiver is full, a “grinder full” alarm is

 

 

 

generated.

 

 

Option output

 

 

 

Local alarm

When this option is enabled, the controller turns

disabled,

disabled

 

on the local alarm light for any alarm at this

enabled

 

 

specific station.

 

 

 

Enable this option if and only if your facility has

 

 

 

installed a local alarm light for this station.

 

 

Blow back

When this option is enabled, the controller

disabled,

disabled

 

periodically sends compressed air backward

enabled

 

 

through the station’s air filter to dislodge

 

 

 

accumulated dust and debris.

 

 

 

Enable this option if and only if the station has

 

 

 

the equipment for compressed air filter cleaning.
