    05. CONFIGURATION 05.1 CONFIGURATION 05.1.1 SYSTEM SETUP In addition to the multiple configurations of the RF2’s physical hardware, the flow control processes can vary greatly from one application to another. Before the system can be operated, it must be configured to match the machine's physical hardware and the user process.

  • Page 24: Setup Main

    05. CONFIGURATION 05.1.2 SETUP MAIN 1. When the "Exor Internal Menu" (a) button is pressed, it opens a pop-up screen to the internal settings so the Exor operator interface can be modified. 2. The "System Configuration" (b) button opens the system configuration screen, where the operator can adjust the system's operation.

  • Page 25: System Configuration

    05. CONFIGURATION 05.1.4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION System configuration is a group of five screens that are used to define the hardware installed on the RF2. Once entered, these screens cannot be exited until all five screens have been completed, then the system will automatically reboot after the last screen is completed.

  • Page 26: Channels

    05. CONFIGURATION 05.1.4.2 Channels This screen lets the user configure channels that were previously selected in the previous screen for use by a Mixer. 1. Description (a). Each unit can be named. This name will be displayed on the main screens and will be used to reference the channel.

  • Page 74 06. OPERATION 7. Select the appropriate recipe from the recipe screen. Once selected, the recipe screen will automatically close. 8. Press the "Download" button (d) to start the load sequence. When the load sequence starts, the station will determine if a flush is needed before it runs the load sequence. Once a flush has completed, then the system runs the appropriate sequences to load material.
  • Page 75 06. OPERATION To change colors, follow the same steps as loading a recipe from a flushed state. If the new recipe requires the same color numbers, no flush will be performed, and the system will go directly to the new recipe load sequence. If component A is different, the system will call the flush A only sequence from the last recipe.

    06. OPERATION 06.4 SHUT DOWN SYSTEM Before the system is shut down, purge any material that is in the tubing to prevent clogs in the fluid tubing and other fluid components. All recipes have a "Purge All" sequence designated, and when the supervisory controller calls a purge command, the system will run that sequence.
  • Page 78 06. OPERATION 3. The front panel E-Stop button does not remove AC power from the system. Only the red main disconnect switch on the right side of the controller shuts off power. After the purge sequence has been completed, you can proceed to shut down the system with the main disconnect switch (b) on the right of the system's enclosure.

  • Page 79: Flow Meter Calibration

    06. OPERATION 06.5 FLOW METER CALIBRATION Calibration of the flow meter is necessary for the best ratio performance of the RF2. Calibration is recommended for each material used because materials of different viscosities may cause the gears within a flow meter to turn more or less than others.

  • Page 80: Pulse Valve Adjustment

    06. OPERATION 06.6 PULSE VALVE ADJUSTMENT A pulse valve is a specially designed solenoid valve used to deliver extremely fast pulses. These valves operate using air pressure to open or close and utilize the same air supply that controls the system. The duration that the valve remains open determines the amount of material that will flow through it.
  • Page 81 06. OPERATION The correct pulse flow range is in the green zone indicated between the green arrows in the example shown to the right. The blue diamond (b) is to the left of the green zone and is considered below range. In this example, the flow must be decreased until the blue diamond is in the green zone.
  • Page 82 06. OPERATION In the example shown to the right, the blue diamond (c) is to the right of the green zone and is considered above range. In this example, the flow must be increased until the blue diamond is in the green zone. 1.

    06. OPERATION 06.7.2 ALARM MASKING Alarm masking allows various alarms to be used as a "spray-shutdown" that halts the system or warnings only. Additionally, the system alarms can trigger the system to shut down the spray operation. If deselected, they will provide a warning while the system continues to run.

  • Page 85: Pot Life Alarms

    06. OPERATION 06.7.3 POT LIFE ALARMS The majority of alarms will shut down the system and can be cleared when the "RESET" button is pressed, but an expired pot life serves as a warning rather than an alarm and requires a system flush to reset system operation. When a pot life warning occurs, the system will remain in run mode, but the CCV valves will close and cause the material flow to stop.
