"Regrind", in the normal sense, is not added. Instead, this component is treated as another "Natural"
material. If the ratio of the two naturals is not 50/50, place the HIGHER volume component in the "regrind"
side. Set the "regrind" thumbwheel for the percentage that the "regrind" side is of the combined mix. For
example; Naturals A and B are to be used at a 20/80 mix ratio; B is the greater at 80 percent. Put
component B in the regrind side and set the regrind switch for 80 percent.
NOTE: The Regrind alarm parameter (RAL) is automatically set to a number that forces retries and stops
the system when this component runs out. See PARAMETERS, RAL-00004.
Use the * key to toggle flag ENABLED or DISABLED. Press EXIT when desired flag status is displayed.
NOTE: Do not use these features in combination with *82.
COLOR AS Percent of Mix - This flag for SPECIAL APPLICATIONS ONLY
Press (*,7,1) to change the Color setting to be interpreted as percent of the entire MIX instead of percent of
the Natural (NAT).
The display will say COLOR AS A % OF NAT (default). Press the CE key to toggle to COLOR AS A %
OF MIX.
CAUTION: With flags set, Color and Additive settings combined must NOT exceed 100 percent.
When finished, press Exit to save changes, then press Exit again to exit out of Programming Mode.
ADDITIVE AS Percent of Mix or Regrind - This flag for SPECIAL APPLICATIONS ONLY
Press (*,7,2) to change the Additive setting to be interpreted as percent of the entire MIX or Regrind
instead of percent of the Natural (NAT).
The display will say ADDITIVE AS A % OF NAT (default). Press the CE key to toggle to ADDITIVE AS
A % OF MIX. Press the CE key again to toggle to ADDITIVE AS A % OF REGRIND (REG).
CAUTION: With flags set, Color and Additive settings combined must NOT exceed 100 percent.
When finished, press Exit to save changes, then press Exit again to exit out of Programming Mode.
MAX Weight Alarm
Press (*,7,4) to set a flag that will cause the system to stop and the Alarm to activate when MAX weight is
exceeded. This might occur if a valve sticks open or slightly open. Normally the system recovers
automatically from such events with only the one batch blended incorrectly. Set the flag only if you want
the system to stop and alarm. Press * key to toggle between ENABLED and DISABLED. When finished,
press Exit to save changes, then press Exit again to exit out of Programming Mode.
WEIGHT LOSS ALARM - Weight Reading Alarm
Press (*,7,5) to set a flag to ALARM if the weigh bin weight drops more them 20 grams during a cycle. This
serves to detect and report a weigh bin problem, such as material leaking from the bottom of the bin.
Press * key to toggle between ENABLED and DISABLED. When finished, press Exit to save changes,
then press Exit again to exit out of Programming Mode.
Parameter Printout
Press (*,7,7) to write a copy of all internal parameters to a plain text file on a USB flash drive. A
folder named maguire must be present on the USB flash drive and the flash drive must be
plugged into the USB port of the controller. Up to 13 lists will print, a General list and 12
component lists. Only components that are turned "on" will print. Four columns will print, RAM;
ROM; 200 and 900 series tables; and EEPROM. Identifying headings print above each column.
Change Program Mode Password
Press (*,7,8, followed by a 5 digit number) to change the PASSWORD number for entering the
PROGRAM mode. The system is supplied with the number "22222" as the password number. If
you wish to restrict use of this mode to only yourself, you may make up your own number and
enter it here. If you forget your password number, call us. We can help.
Precision Ratioing - Color or Additive
With Precision Ratioing, natural dispenses occur after the selected color or additive dispense or the
selected color or additive is introduced in between the natural component. With *82 enabled, natural is
calculated to assure the most exact percentage ratio for the smaller selected precision component.
Because the Natural dispenses are larger, this method allows for more exact ratio of the one selected
precision component.
