Controller: Controls and Outputs
1. POWER ON switch
Controls all power to the controller and all outputs. When power is switched off, battery backed-up RAM preserves all
internal totals and parameters. All other functions are reset for normal start-up when power is restored.
2. STOP END OF CYCLE / CONTINUE switch
This is the switch that you should use to STOP the system. This switch is wired in series with the level sensor.
Turning it off breaks the signal to the computer the same as covering the level sensor with material. This stops the
process at the end of a full cycle.
3. IMMEDIATE PAUSE / CONTINUE switch
Causes a computer-controlled immediate pause during a cycle. Dispenses will stop in mid-dispense if necessary.
When switched back to CONTINUE, the process continues without any error in amounts dispensed.
4. ALL AIR SOLENOID outputs
There is a single 8 pin or 14 pin (or 17 pin) Amphanol plug located on the front of the control panel. this provides
output of all 120 volt (or 24 volt) signals to drive the air solenoids. These power sources are transistor driven and are
protected by the 1/2 amp panel fuse. See the wiring diagram section for the correct wiring to each pin.
If more then 7 outputs are to be driven, a 14 pin connector is provided with outputs for components 8, 9, A, B, and C.
If 24-volt solenoids are used, a 17 pin connector is provided.
5. POWER OUTPUTS (receptacles on panel front)
Each outlet puts out 120 volts (240 outside USA) through internal plug- in solid state relays rated and fused at 3
amps. These relay outputs are designed to drive motors or other devices requiring power up to 3 amps each. The
LEFT outlet is for component number 5, and the RIGHT outlet is for component number 6.
6. EIGHT CHARACTER DISPLAY
Displays the accumulated total bin weight, in grams, after each dispense. The display flashes when an inadequate
dispense has occurred and the dispense is going to be retried. Other information displayed here includes material
usage totals, internal parameters, component types and settings and various information prompts to assist the
operator.
###### Numbers displayed are the total weight of material, in grams, in the bin at any time. The weight in
the bin is updated only after an individual dispense is complete. During the dispense the displayed
weight does not change.
P
M
In the left most position indicates unit is in PROGRAM mode.
Indicates unit is in MANUAL mode.
1 R 20.0 Indicates: Component 1, REGRIND, and SETTING of 20 percent.
INVALID Indicates: 1. You pressed an incorrect key - or
2. You pressed a key for a function that is not active - or
3. You are not in the right mode for this key to operate.
PASSWORD
INSTR --
Password is displayed when you press the "*" key from the normal mode.
Enter "11111" for MANUAL mode or "22222" for PROGRAM mode - or
Enter your own password number if you have established one.
This is displayed when you press the "*" key from the PROGRAM mode.
Enter a 2-digit instruction number for special tasks.
SETTING, OPERATE, TIMED, and CALIBRATE are displayed when the respective keys are pressed from the manual or
program modes. These displays are followed by pressing a device key; 1 through 9, A, B, C, DUMP, ALARM, MIX, or HOLD.
The word FLASHING on the display means that retries are occurring because the first dispense was not enough. Other error
conditions also cause flashing.
