Material Calibrate
This button will present a popup which will allow the operator to clear component feed rate
tables. The system must be stopped in order for the feed tables to be cleared. For each hop-
per, the system maintains a feed rate table. If new material is entered into a hopper, this
feed table may not properly reflect the proper feed rate for the new material. On the popup
press [All] or select an individual component hopper. Press [Yes] to clear the feed rate
tables of the selected component hoppers. When the blender begins to process the next
batch, it will enter the relearn mode where the feed table is re-populated.
Job Mode
Available for a standard TrueBlend system, the [Job] button provides the ability to run the
blender until a set amount of material is blended and then stop. This mode of operation is
not available with a TrueBlendExt system.
In order to correctly meet the (Target Weight) value of the job, the last 2 batch sizes will be
adjusted to insure both a proper blend and target job weight. If the blender is stopped and
started before the (Target Weight) is reached, a popup window will ask the operator if the
(Actual Job Weight) should be cleared or if the job processing will continue.
Once a job has been completed, pressing the [Automatic] button will automatically clear
the (Actual Job Weight) and processing of the new job will begin.
This mode is first enabled from the blender recipe screen by pressing [Job] to show the

setup screen.

1
Enable 'Job Mode' by pressing the 'On' button.
Actual Weight: The current amount of weight metered since processing of the job start-
ed.
Percent Complete: The current percentage of the material processed based on the
(Actual Weight) versus the (Target Weight).
2
Set the 'Target Weight' to the amount of material that should be mixed.
3
Press the 'Clear' button to reset the 'Current Weight' field.
4
Now when [Automatic] / [Commit] is pressed, the blender will generate the target
weight of material and stop. The blender can be stopped and restarted and the current
weight field will be maintained so that the right amount of material in the batch is gener-
ated. The blender Home page will also show the status of the 'Job Mode'.
