Mixer Options 
Press the “Timed/Continuous Mixing” key (In the top right hand corner) when in “Mixer and 
Dump Setup” screen to set the following options: 
Timed Mixing Option  
This mode of operation turns the mixer on only during dumping and during the re-mix time 
set into the control to jog the mixer during high level mixer operation. 
Continuous Mixing Option  
This mode of operation turns the mixer on after initial startup and will continue to run 
continuously, unless the remix time is set to jog the mixer during high level mixer operation. 
This option is used for sticky materials that tend to bridge and block off the mixer discharge 
to the processing machine. 
Setting Date & Time 
The Set Date & Time feature is located in the “Panel View Config” menu of the Setup 
Screen.  This feature allows the operator to set the Slide Gate/Auger Blender’s internal time 
clock and date. The clock data must be entered in the traditional Hours, Minutes, and 
seconds.  The date must be entered in Years, Months, and Days.  All values in this screen can 
be entered by pressing on the related button and choosing the correct number. 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Feeder Alarm Setup & Flags 
This screen allows the operator to configure the alarm settings for each individual feeder.  It 
can configure whether a feeder will retry during the metering of a batch, and enable or disable 
the “Out of Material” alarm for any feeder. If the alarm flag is set to “Stop”, the blender will 
not continue.  It stops on that component continuing to try and meter.  The optional low level 
proximity switches have their own separate alarm.  The alarm will sound, but does not stop 
the blender. To configure each hopper do the following: 
1.  Enter the Setup Menu. 
2.  Once in the Setup menu, press “Alarm Setup.”  This will take you to the “Alarm 
Flags & Feeder Setup” screen.
