For each dispense valve on your WEIGH SCALE BLENDER. REPEAT THIS SEQUENCE Up to 12 outputs are possible numbered Component 1 through to Component 12.
Page 31 Check Out Procedure Diagnostics If display fails to come on at all: Check power to blender controller. Check your model numbers on the Red Metal Tag: If model number is not correct for you unit: see the next page, SELECTING CORRECT MODEL. If display field located center screen shows randomly drifting numbers: check to see load cells are plugged in.
Page 32: Load Cell Calibration
Load Cell Zero Calibration If your load cells already display a weight close to zero, plus or minus 10 grams, you may skip this section. Weight readings tare at the beginning of each cycle. The acceptable plus/minus weight reading range is model specific and is set in the TH (Tare High) and TL (Tare Low). Above TH or below TL will display a Tare High/Low error and the blender will not run.
Page 33: Material Flow Rate Calibration
Material Flow Rate Calibration If material is changed or hardware is changed (example: 1/2" auger changed to a 1" auger) and material meters at a much lower or higher rate than expected, the software may take 10 to 20 cycles to fully adjust. During this time cycles will take longer. The software will SELF ADJUST the flow rate or a Material Flow Rate Calibration can be done to set the flow rate immediately.
Page 34: Micro Pulse Instructions
Micro Pulse Instructions This section contains Micro Pulse information for a few selected models. MICRO PULSE Micro Pulse valves are available on models: WSB MB with optional VERTICAL VALVE MICRO PULSE valves. WSB 122 / WSB 140m2 with optional SLIDE GATE MICRO PULSE valves. WSB 131 / WSB 140m1 with optional SLIDE GATE MICRO PULSE valves.
Page 35: Regrind Control
Regrind Control Regrind Control is a set of parameters that enhance control of regrind. PRN 00000 - Percent of Regrind to be Treated as Natural First digit: 0 = adds, 1 = subtracts ... additive to or from the regrind. Second digit: Regrind component.
Page 36 Full Explanation of Regrind Control Parameters Percent of Regrind to be Treated as Natural Allows for adding some ADDITIVE to one of the REGRIND portions. PRN can also be used to subtract a portion of ADDITIVE to reduce the overall total of ADDITIVE (typically used to compensate for over-colored regrind).
Page 37 The last digit determines the adjustment rate. Zero in the last position means make the full adjustment immediately. Any value from 1 to 9 indicates the percentage adjustment that will be made each cycle when the level sensor condition changes. See RHL below for examples.
Page 38 RLC last digit is set to zero, (RLC 10000). The "Regrind" thumbwheel switch is set to 25 percent (025). The Software logic is as follows: If material level is high, above the high sensor, the HIGH sensor is COVERED, (returns NO signal); Regrind runs at the HIGH setting;...
Page 39: Instructions For Normal Operation
Instructions for Normal Operation Operation: 1. Fill HOPPERS. 2. Turn POWER ON. Verify correct Settings, Types and Mode of Operation. 3. Press START Button. Blender will operate automatically, dispensing material until level sensor is covered. Use the STOP Button to stop the blender. Turn POWER off only on final shutdown. After several days of proper operation: Save the current configuration including all parameters to the User Backup Settings for future retrieval just in case software problems develop later.

Parameters – General –Explanation 200 series settings shown as example settings DLY 02000 CYCLE START DELAY - Delay before cycle start. (milliseconds) Time in milliseconds that the sensor must be uncovered before cycle start. Minimum of 02000 (ms) is recommended. With low throughput, increasing DLY may allow better mixing if needed.
Page 57 RAC 000000 Regrind Auto Control This is a Six-digit parameter. 1st digit is the regrind component 2nd and 3rd digits are the cycle count Last 3 digits are the % to increase current setting by. Example: 110100 - Regrind #1, 10 cycles increase setting by 100%. Current setting 25%, increases to 50%.
Page 58 BER - Grams over weight to abort a component dispense. This parameter prevents over filling the weigh bin. A component dispense aborts when weight exceeds target by BER value. Remaining components dispense normally. 1 in the last position (00201), causes USB printout of cycle data when abort occurs. Typically, no change is required.
Page 59 MCT – Monitor Cycle Time Alarm For Throat Mount Applications Only Alarms if cycle exceeds normal cycle time by multiplier or by time in seconds. 00000 = Inactive First two digits (02xxx) is multiplier of previous cycle time. Last three digits (xx060) is time in seconds over previous cycle time. Silence Alarm button or next cycle resets the alarm.
Page 60: Parameters - Component - Explanation
Component Parameters Explanation There are 12 Groups of parameters, one group per component. In parameter printouts the first digit in the parameter name is the component number. RP 00010 Retry by Percent - Shortage RD 00300 Retry by Gram - Shortage RP is the shortage expressed as a PERCENT of the target dispense weight and RD is the shortage expressed in GRAMS.
Page 61 WT Weight Dispense Rate (grams/second) TI Time Set AUTOMATICALLY by the Flow Rate Calibration routine WT and TI set the flow rate or dispense rate of each material. These can be set manually, set by the Flow Rate Calibration routine, and adjust automatically after each cycle.

Page 66 Blender Configuration - Continued Specialized Alarms Setup > Blender Configuration > Specialized Alarms Weigh Bin Loosing Weight Alarm – When enabled, if the weigh bin weight drops more than 20 grams during a cycle this alarm will sound. This serves to detect and report a weigh bin problem, such as material leaking from the bottom of the bin.
Page 67 Progressive Metering – Progressive Metering allows for more accurate dispenses of selected components. However, cycle time will be extended by a few additional seconds. In normal operation blenders target a dispense of the full requested amount in one try. This almost always works, and generally will fall within acceptable upper and lower error limits.
Page 68: Load Cell Recalibration - Zero / Full Calibration
Option: end with bin full to tell the controller to end a cycle when the weigh bin is EMPTY or end with the bin FULL. The BIN FULL option is only for special installations where the sensor has been relocated BELOW the mix chamber and the instructions to do otherwise. Weight Bin Dump Options –...
Page 69 This unit was properly calibrated at the factory to match the load cells that were supplied with it. If you are going to recalibrate, note the following. The proper sequence is given below.

Page 73: Monitoring System Accuracy
Monitoring System Accuracy Cycle Printout Information The best way to monitor system accuracy is to connect a USB Flash Drive to the USB port and turn the Print Cycle Diagnostics ON. The controller will then automatically print full output information after every cycle to a file on the USB Flash Drive in a plain text file format or CSV spreadsheet format.
Page 74: Interpreting The Cycle Printout
Interpreting the Cycle Printout 10 or 20 cycles of data can tell a lot about blender performance. The following explains how to interpret the data. A single cycle printout looks like this: * 11/03/18 * *16:17:53* **ID# 051** 000000 RECIPE 00000 OP 000 **1 R 20.0** **2 N...
Page 75: Troubleshooting With The Printout
Troubleshooting with the Print Diagnostics TOTAL BATCH WEIGHT: Check the TOTAL batch weight to confirm the blender model. 2000 grams indicates 200 series model. 400, 1000, and 2000 gram totals indicate models that use 3 K load cells, which means output information is in 1/10's of grams.
Page 76 In the component 4 column, 1600 and 32000 indicate a flow rate of 50 grams per second. DATA line 3 dispense weight of 0.0 for component 4 and the component 4 is set to 00.0 percent confirming that component 4 is not dispensing material. The following information will help you determine what devices are in place on a blender.
Page 77 DISPENSE TIMING: (DATA line 3) The second number is the number of milliseconds calculated to dispense the material. If these times are consistent but the weight of the first dispense varies, then the material does not flow well, or consistently. Another possibility is excessive vibration or interference with the weigh bin.
Page 78 Accuracy on a percentage basis, cycle to cycle, will suffer. This may very well be acceptable as long as overall usage percentages are still accurate. BAILOUT: (line 4) If bailouts occur, vibration is usually the cause and these bailouts may be causing other problems. Raise the value of the BAL parameter to 200 or 300 grams to reduce or eliminate unnecessary bailouts.

Page 83 Typically, problems are indicated by an alarm condition on the Blender controller’s display with an audible alarm and a flashing strobe light. The following alarm troubleshooting chart will describe the alarm condition and possible causes and solutions. Alarm Display: Troubleshooting: COMPONENT ALARM Problem: Hopper / component out of material.
Page 84 ZERO TARE ALARM Problem: Load Cells outside of acceptable Calibration. (former: DUMP ALARM) Weigh bin empty weigh above tare high upper limit (TH parameter) or below tare lower limit (TL parameter). If above TH (upper limit) weigh ALARM CODE:15 bin dump valve opens and closes repeatedly. Possible causes: There is material in the weigh bin that will not dump out.
Page 85 ALTERNATE COLOR ALARM Alert Alarm: Alternate Liquid Color, Component Switch. ALARM CODE:24 The Alternate Liquid Color option allows automatic switch over from Liquid Color component 10 to liquid color component 11 when component 10 runs out (switch over continues from 11 to 10 and so on).
Page 86: Typical Problems
Typical Problems These problems are based on phone calls that we have received from Weigh Scale Blender users. The display does not read close to zero when power is turned on, bin empty (plus or minus 10 grams).  The load cells are not plugged in. ...
Page 87  The slide gate is sticking slightly. With the hopper empty and air disconnected, move the slide manually to see that it moves freely. If material does not flow easily a bridge breaker may be required. Load Cell weight readings are not holding steady. They vary as much as 100 grams from second to second.
Page 88: Mix Problems
Mix Problems Customers with mix problems have several options available. Decrease the batch size by lowering the FUL parameter value. This does two things. First, it causes the components to be dispensed in smaller, more frequent batches, which places more and smaller layers of material into the mix chamber. Second, it lowers the level of material in the mix chamber immediately after a dispense.
Page 89 If you are having mix problems with air drives, be sure the blades moves a full 270 degrees (3/4 turn) with each sweep. If they do not, try the following: Increase the air pressure. If the gauge pressure drops more then 5 pounds during operation of the blades, the air supply line is too small.
Page 90: Increasing Throughput
Increasing Throughput A correctly sized blender should have throughput that always exceeds your process requirements. If, for some reason, your blender is not keeping up, here are a few ways to increase throughput. 1. If your blender is equipped with a flow control slide gate, under the blender, this will reduce throughput up to 25 percent.
Page 91: Normal Operating Sequence
Turn POWER ON: A boot up splash screen displays showing MAGUIRE WSB with the current firmware version displayed in the lower right corner. A status bar and Synchronizing with WSB displays at the bottom. The controller should then display the home screen. The weigh bin weight reading will display at the center of the home screen on the image of the weigh bin.
Page 92 ADDITIVES third: The ADDITIVE dispenses occur last in the sequence. Each dispense must meet requirements set by internal parameters. MATERIAL RUNS OUT: If any material runs out or is not enough to meet criteria set by parameters then the process will NOT CONTINUE past this component. RETRIES of this dispense will occur indefinitely until the full dispense occurs or the STOP button is pressed followed by the ABORT button.
Page 93: Verifying Load Cell Function
VERIFYING LOAD CELL FUNCTION Most Problems are related to LOAD CELL function. There are several ways to VERIFY that the load cells are functioning properly. The slightest touch on the weigh bin should result in a change in the readout. If this is not the case, something is wrong.
Page 94: Load Cell Raw Signal Readout
Load Cell Raw Signal Readout Press Setup, System Configuration, Diagnostics, Load-Cell Diagnostics to check this RAW number for several seconds. Load cells put out a very small voltage that varies slightly as the load cell is deflected. This voltage is converted to a pulse train and these pulses are counted for 1 full second to determine a weight load with a range of counts from 0 to approximately 249,850.
Page 95: Backup, Restore, Factory Reset
Backup, Restore, Factory Reset Locations of stored Blender settings and their purpose There are 3 memory areas where Blender settings are stored. These options are accessible by pressing Setup, System Configuration, Resets, User Settings. 1. Restore User Settings - The current settings in use. When you make parameter changes and/or enable features, the changes (if any) are recorded into the user-settings when you exit OPTIONS mode.
Page 96: Updating Controller Firmware
If necessary, the firmware in the WSB can be updated using a firmware update supplied by Maguire Products. Firmware updates use the USB port located to the right of the control screen. The following instructions detail how to do a firmware update.
Page 97: Hardware Maintenance
HARDWARE MAINTENANCE AIR PRESSURE Set AIR PRESSURE to about 80 PSI for best accuracy. However, lower pressures will work. If you plant air fluctuates, set the regulator to the low end so that the dispense valves always see a consistent pressure. Lubricated air is NOT recommended.
Page 98 There are no components of your blender that require periodic maintenance. However, over the years, blenders may be subjected to abuse or difficult conditions, and accuracy can suffer. To maintain control over the cost of expensive color and additives, you must maintain accuracy. We recommend that blenders be examined once a year, and all necessary repairs be made to insure continued accuracy.
