3.  Select a feeder (1-6) by touching the “Select Feeder” box. 
4.  The current settings for the hopper that you have chosen will now be shown on the 
screen. 
5.  Make the necessary adjustments to the “Stop/Continue if “Out of Material,” 
Alarm/No Alarm on “Out of Material,” and Out of Material Alarm Silence Delay (0-
60 seconds) settings.”  Once the settings for these features have been set on the 
displayed feeder, select a new feeder to configure as desired. 
6.  Press the “Done” key at the bottom to exit this screen. 
An alarm message will be shown if any alarm condition occurs.  A message will pop up on 
the screen until the alarm condition is resolved.  The operator can press “OK” on this pop-up 
to hide the screen temporarily, but if the alarm condition is still unresolved, then the message 
will reappear after a short delay.  During an alarm condition, not only will a visual alarm 
show up on the screen but also an audible alarm will sound.  The audible alarm will sound for 
10 seconds and reappear every 30 seconds until the cause of the alarm is resolved.  The 
following is a list of all alarm names and descriptions: 
•  Hopper 1-6 Out of Material:  This alarm indicates that a hopper is out of material and 
signals the operator that they should check the resin system. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  Max Hopper Weight Exceeded, check batch size:  This alarm indicates that the 
weight in the weigh hopper has exceeded the maximum allowed weight.  This alarm 
can happen if the operator changes material density and does not perform a feeder 
calibration, but will usually be automatically fixed after the first batch.  As long as this 
alarm doesn’t continue to reappear, then the operator should not be concerned.  If the 
alarm continues to occur, then the operator should have maintenance check the 
blender.
