Initial Conditions for starting the process : 1) Tare has to be in the tare tolerances 2) Total receipt weight has to be smaller than the Maximum Capacity parameter defined in setup. Operation: 1) The tin , drum or container placed on the platform and Start button is pressed. 2) Automatic tare is taken.

7.4. DOSING OPERATION The blinking letter “ r ” on left side of LM 4 display indicates that LM 4 is in READY status for dosing. If Emergency Stop is not used as an input of LM 4, process starts by START input.
8. DOSING PARAMETERS In this section, the dosing parameters which are convenient for your process are entered. Dosing parameters consist of 3 sections: Configuration, Components data and Receipt data. This section is very important and critical for your process. Please read this section very carefully.
