Corn auger rpm/time – Speed of corn auger and duration of feeding cycle, in seconds.
Popping time – duration of popping stage, in seconds.
add.popping freq. – increment for turbine speed during popping stage, in Hz.
freq.increase start/step – the turbine speed is changed from the basic speed set, see Fig. 13,
to the basic speed plus add.popping freq. The speed is being changed gradually, in four steps. The
first value (30 seconds) defines the moment when the turbine begins to accelerate (counting from
the moment the feeder stopped). The second value (15 seconds) defines duration of each step.
purge chamber time – duration of purge stage, in seconds.
add. purge chamber freq. – increment for turbine speed during purge stage in Hz.
time preheat ON/OFF – Defines the heaters operation during heating up stage. For example
60/60 means that heaters are on for 60 seconds, then are off for 60 seconds.
extra heat time – forced heating time. In the beginning of each cycle heaters are operated at
full rate, without PID-regulation, this helps to avoid significant temperature drop during the cycle.
count popcorn – count threshold for optical sensor in the chamber.
EN – press to change the language of the interface (RU/EN).
– press to return to the previous screen.
