Dispensing Procedures
About Dispensing
The Dispenser is a Loss-in-Weight instrument. The Dis-
penser controller measures the weight loss out of a vessel,
until the pre-set, Target Weight has been reached. The Dis-
penser controller then stops dispensing and automatically
goes to a wait condition, waiting for the next container to be
positioned. Once the new container is in the correct position
the Dispenser begins the process over again. The Hardy
Filler/Dispenser enables both single speed and dual speed
dispensing and simultaneous and sequential modes of opera-
tion.
Getting Started

All the features of the Filler/Dispenser operate the same no
matter what the interface. First let’s get familiar with operat-
