Sterling Plumbing 882.00253.00 Name Description Options Default Special convey, No convey, Alarm

Name	Description	Options	Default
Special convey	When this option is enabled, the station’s vacuum	disabled,	disabled
	valve remains open for the convey time, even if	enabled
	the station is not demanding material and is
	indicating that it is full. When disabled, the
	station’s vacuum valve opens when there is
	demand from the station, and it remains open until
	the convey time has elapsed or material trips the
	volume-fill proximity switch.
	Enable this option if and only if the station has no
	flapper.

Alarm Options
No convey	When this option is enabled, the controller issues	disabled,	disabled
	a “no convey” alarm if it has repeatedly attempted	enabled
	to convey material to the station but the flapper
	never opened during the dump delay. (The
	number of attempts is controlled by the next
	setting.)
	Usually this option should be enabled. At times,
	you may wish to disable it during operation as a
	stopgap measure for dealing with an alarm.
# attempts before	Number of attempts before alarm: the number of	1–99	3
alarm	times the controller will attempt to convey material
	to a station before it issues a “no convey” alarm.
	The setting for this option depends on (a) how
	much material your injection mold uses to make
	each part compared with the capacity of the
	receiver and (b) how important it is to keep your
	injection mold from running out of material and
	shutting down. A higher setting will give you fewer
	alarms, at the risk of emptying the receiver without
	warning. A lower setting will give more frequent
	alarms, at the risk of disrupting operations
	unnecessarily.
