alter the display only. In all other respects, the blender
will operate normally.

*05 Press (*,0,5) to inhibit the (00=CLEAR) display at the end

of the VIEW sequence. Customers using MLAN or G2 software
for retrieval of material usage information, may wish to
restrict an operators ability to clear the material usage
data at the controller. This option allows you to remove
the floor operators ability to clear this data. Press * to
toggle between (CLEAROFF) and (CLEAR ON).

*11 Press (*,1,1) to enter the correct date and time into the
real-time clock. Correct date and time is helpful if you
are retrieving information using a printer or are collecting

data by computer. Six entries will be requested.

The first display will indicate USA or EUROPE date format.
USA will cause all dates to be displayed MONTH/DAY/YEAR.
EUROPE will cause all dates to display DAY/MONTH/YEAR.
Use the CE key to toggle from one to the other.

The remaining five entries are two digits each;
MONTH __, DAY __, YEAR __, HOUR __, MIN __.

Use the * key to step through all displays without change.
enter new settings where required. The correct date and
time have been entered at the factory and should never have
to be reset. Of course you may be in a different time zone.

*12 Press (*,1,2) to move the PARAMETER table from ROM to RAM.
This allows system to operate with the parameters that were
originally supplied as default numbers with the system.

EXPLANATION: All PARAMETERS are stored in a table that
resides in three places: ROM, RAM, and EEPROM.

ROM stands for "Read Only Memory." This memory portion of
the circuit board cannot be altered in any way except by
physically replacing this chip on the board. It contains
the program and the copy of the parameter table that we
supply as standard with all controllers.

EEPROM stands for "Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read

Only Memory." This memory portion of the circuit board can
be altered by the computer by special request only, and data
stored here is not lost even if the battery backed up RAM
should lose power. It contains all parameters and control
numbers that are unique to your system. At the factory we
have set what we believe to be the proper parameters for
your application into the EEPROM.

RAM stands for "Random Access Memory." It is the memory

portion of the circuit board that would go blank if power
were removed from it. We have provided a battery back-up
for the RAM so this should never be a problem. On normal
power off and power on, the data and parameters that reside
in RAM are not lost. However, RAM is the portion of memory
most easily corrupted due to unforeseen circumstances in the
