BASIC STARTUP (REV K2)
- After assembly, open the controller to ensure all boards are properly seated and secure.
- Plug unit into electrical outlet only if boards are properly seated and secure.
- Attach air hose to regulator.
- Press "Recall Program," followed by the 2-digit program code desired. 1
Note: Watch the display monitor and listen for beeper to verify the numeric commands. If the number you pressed does not display, you are either in the "Run" mode (see #9 below), or you are entering the number too quickly.
- Set hopper slide gate at correct height for that program.1
- If there is product already in the bucket, it will be zeroed out and added to the subsequent fill cycle --- NOT GOOD! So, press "5" to empty the weigh bucket manually.
- Press "RUN" to start operation. For demonstration purposes, the speed has been pre-set to a conservative 10-12 cycles/minute for accuracy. Speed may be increased to 15 cycles/minute or faster, with little or no loss in accuracy, but programming such a change is not within the scope of these simplified instructions. (See "Quick Check Guide" for those details. Remember, you will be provided with unlimited telephone support.)
- Place a bag under the funnel (see, "User Instructions") and step on the foot pedal. The weigh bucket will open and a new cycle begins.
- To recall a different program, press "STOP" to exit Scale Run mode2, then proceed back to step 4.
1 See "Program Data Sheets" for list of pre-programmed weights and hopper gate settings.
2 Scale will not respond to keypad commands if in "Run" mode. If any status light ("Fast," "Slow,"
"Accept," "Over") is on, scale is in "Run" mode.
