The EU has set up systems for the separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment and batteries (Directive 20212/19/EU). If you do not dispose of the device properly, you risk a fine. Electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately at the end of its life. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
The Maximum runtime setting allows you to stop the system once this maximum runtime has expired. This prevents the feed system from being unnecessarily active in the following situations: empty silo feed drop tube not straight above feed hopper KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
This should first be discharged into the troughs before new feed is added to the circuit (pipe too full). You can omit the Supply auger full indicator in certain situations. Have the circuit run one full cycle after starting and then start filling. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
If the cascade circuit is too full, the system will stop. The circuit does not see any feed for a while now and again sends a full signal. This means that it cannot be restarted by the Take-over sensor. The supply auger drawn in the cascade circuit is optional. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
2. After the waiting time for this circuit has elapsed, the silo circuits and the valves programmed for this recipe are started. 3. As soon as the system's full indicator detects that the system is full, the status changes to ready and the next circuit starts. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...

Press and hold and press to add a breakpoint/period (provided that the maximum value for periods/breakpoints has not been reached). Press and hold and press to remove a breakpoint/period (provided there is a period/breakpoint). The number of breakpoints/periods is adjusted automatically. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...

6 access codes for you. You can program a separate access code for the status screen. If you only set an access code for the status screen, this will apply to all user screens. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
The active / off option enables you to temporarily switch points off, e.g.: To make sure the troughs are empty when the pigs are moved to another location. To make sure that the pigs empty the troughs once a week or once every two weeks. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...

You can delete all the operating hours for the selected circuit by setting Clear hour counter to yes. Recipe Curve = yes Curve = no In this screen, you select the recipe to be fed per circuit. Only available for multi-phase feeding system with circuits. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
The changed times will be taken over if: Alarm circuit = off Status circuit = rest The new propagation time is shorter than the previous propagation time that had been set. Alarm status Display of the cause of the alarm. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...

The system can be started manually, automatically or via a digital input. After the system is started, changes are only implemented the next day Normally, the KFM-6400 multiphase feeding system will run its program normally. Abnormal situations can occur: faults, no feed component in the silo, etc.
7. Multi-phase feeding system 7.2 Components Do not set more components than necessary. You can change the component names using the 0..9 keys. 7.3 Silo contents You can set the components contained in the individual silos. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
The percentage calculated from the ratio settings. Time The time calculated on the basis of the ratio settings. 7.5 Recipe curves (multiphase = recipe group) You can set a maximum of 4 recipe curves, each with a maximum of 15 breakpoints. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...

Alarm delay time, the chain breakage alarm activates. Motor protection After the cause of the motor protection alarm has been resolved, you can reset the alarm by setting Reset to yes in the alarm screen. See section 4.7. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
Period status: off or active (dispense/do not dispense during the period). Active Time during which the dosator is active. If the dosator status is waiting, the status can only be cleared by performing a Reset in the Alarm status screen. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
Filling silo active With bulk switch As soon as the bulk switch is operated, the KFM-6400 assumes that silo filling is taking place. Without bulk switch The weight filled is determined automatically. If the silo contents increase by more than 50 kg every 30 seconds, the KFM-6400 assumes that filling is taking place (Filling silo active).
(kg/h) for 60 seconds, a supply speed will be generated. Measure. If the silo weigher is connected to a counter, the current supply speed will be shown. Counters Alarm Switch the feed counter alarm on/off. Alarm status Current alarm status. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
10.2 Silo status Display of today's component amounts fed per silo. 10.3 Filled Overview per silo of the last five times the filling data was entered in screen 51 Silo contents. You also see the filling date and time. KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
Alarm 0 The cause of the most recent alarm with the time until which the alarm has been/was active. 11.2 External alarms Switching external alarm on/off Your installer can change the external alarm names (max. 15 characters). KFM-6400-G-EN02160...
11.3 Communication Switching the communication alarm on / off. A communication alarm can only occur on a KFM-6400 which is set as the main station. If the main station does not receive any data from a device in the same communication loop, a communication alarm will occur.

Do not forget to switch the alarm back on, e.g. if it was switched off to resolve a fault. Preferably use the off (alarm temporarily off) function to resolve a fault. Installation errors, such as Output already assigned, Incorrect type of output, Input already assigned etc. must always be resolved before putting the installation into operation.
