Electronic Control System Batch Mode Setup The electrical control cabinet is designed to operate optional batching functions. The batch mode will allow the user to control the operation of the ram unit flow meter output or pump stroke monitors. Additional equip- ment is required to operate in either of the batch modes.
Electronic Control System 7. Initial Startup Only: The frame has spring-loaded Standard Operation guides to stabilize the bin. Adjust the guides equally with the screws on all four sides of the bin. Leave NOTE: When raising and lowering the ram plate, make enough space between guides and bin to allow for sure there are no objects obstructing the unit.
