Precision Fill Commissioning & Training The machines are calibrated at the factory with a default recipe. However as the electrical input differs from location to location, you'll have to readjust it. Starting with the default values and adjusting as needed is the best way to start. Key Characteristics: The weight listed next to a feed is the weight difference from zero which will shut off that feed type.

Precision Fill Commissioning & Training Set Target Weight. Tap the text box next to “target” and enter 340g. Tap “ok.” Set Fast Feed. Since fast feed is used primarily for recipes weighing 1000 grams or more, we will not use Fast Feed on this recipe.

Precision Fill Commissioning & Training Wait for Cycle to Finish. Once the cycle is complete, you will see a screen similar to this (likely with different values): Adjust Slow Feed. Note that we are below our goal of 340g. This means our slow feed is too large.
Page 18
Precision Fill Commissioning & Training Generally speaking, the difference in weight will be the change needed to the slow feed value. In the example above, the end weight was 4 grams below our target so the slow feed value was reduced by 4 (from 10 to 6). In other words, decreasing the value of the slow feed by 1 will increase the final weight by 1 gram (and increasing slow feed value by 1 will decrease the final weight by 1 gram.

Precision Fill Commissioning & Training ADDITIONAL RECIPE EXAMPLES: Consistency After running your recipe 4 times with a Med Feed Speed of 40, you get the following weights: 240g 258g 260g 276g Solution: Since you have inconsistent recipe outputs (regardless of target value), you'll need to increase your med feed value.
Page 20
Precision Fill Commissioning & Training Since inconsistencies returned at a Med Feed value of 85, you will return to the previous lowest value that provided consistent results (90). Repeat the same process from above, this time reducing the value by 1 instead of 5: Med Feed: 54 Med Feed: 53...
