OPERATION MODE?
NO/YES
Operation Mode, Station Settings Menu
The first submenu in the Station Settings menu is the Operation
Mode.
To enter the Operation Mode submenu:
„ Press the YES key at the following screen prompt.
Each station in the conveying system can be a standard
configuration or a sight glass configuration. Each hopper design
operates in a slightly different manner.
In Standard mode, a flapper sensor detects a demand on the
system. The volume fill sensor senses when the hopper is filled
with material. These two (2) sensors are wired in series and a
single input of the controller reads them. The controller determines
the difference in the signals, depending on load sequence timing.
In Sight Glass mode, only one single sensor detects demand. This
mode has no volume fill operation, and you’ll need to disable that
function. Properly setting the operation mode lets the controller
correctly sequence station loading.
Upon entering the Operation Mode menu, the controller prompts
you to set all 12 stations to Normal (default) mode.
