Enabling and Disabling Stations and Pumps
When a station or pump is disabled, the controller makes no attempt to use it and ignores any alarms that occur for it. Disabling a station or pump at the controller’s screen is similar to bypassing a station with its bypass switch. Enabling a station or pump makes it available for use.
Note: For a station to be available for the system, it must be enabled at the controller’s screen and its bypass switch must be in the “Convey” position.
To enable or disable a station (or pump), complete the following steps:
1.Go to the “Station Status” (or “Pump Status”) screen, if needed. To reach this screen from any other screen, touch STATION STATUS or PUMP STATUS button.
Each disabled station (or pump) has an icon with a status of “offline” (black with a white outline). All other statuses are enabled statuses.
2.Touch the icon for the station (or pump) briefly. The station (or pump) switches to the new state, as indicated by the color of its icon.
Note: If the “Station Operator” (or “Pump Setup”) screen appears when you touch the icon, then you have kept your finger on the screen too long. Touch STATION STATUS (or PUMP STATUS) to return to the “Status” screen and try again.
Starting and Stopping the System
WARNING! In an emergency, you can use the power switch on the front of the controller cabinet if a password is required to stop the system and you do not know the password.
Note: Normally, all the stations and pumps you want to use should be enabled before you start the system. When the system is stopped, icons for enabled stations are green or yellow and icons for enabled pumps are green. Enabling stations and pumps is described on p. 27.
A button to start and stop the system is located in the lower left of the “Station Status” and “Pump Status” screens. When the system is off, the button is red and reads START SYSTEM. When the system is on, the button is green and reads STOP SYSTEM. Depending on the setup at your facility, the system may prompt for a password when you touch this button.
Note: If conveying does not begin when you start the system, check to make sure that all needed pumps are enabled. If they are, check that all needed stations are enabled.
