•  Calibration Error, Clean out hopper and check calibration:  This alarm indicates 
that the maximum empty weight for the weigh hopper has been exceeded.  The blender 
will automatically tare up to 0.25 lbs of material, but if this weight is exceeded, then an 
alarm will appear.  This alarm is most commonly caused by a build up of sticky 
material in the weigh hopper and can be corrected by simply cleaning out the weigh 
hopper.  If this does not correct the problem, then the scale calibration should be 
checked by maintenance. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  Power Interruption while metering a Batch:  This alarm indicates that the blender’s 
power was turned off while the blender was making a batch.  The batch accuracy is not 
affected as long as the blender is configured for “AutoStart.”  The blender will finish 
the last batch accurately even if the material was dumped into the mixer when the 
power was turned off. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  PLC Battery Low:  PLC battery is low and may cause the blender to lose both the 
program and the blender configuration.  Notify Maintenance immediately. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  PLC Module Loaded:  This alarm occurs after a software upgrade to the PLC.  The 
alarm instructs you to turn off power to the blender, remove the Memory Module, turn 
on power, and then reconfigure the blender parameters. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  Blender Powered On/Off:  These are only logged in the Alarm Log and does not 
cause a pop-up message or audible alarm.  Each time the blender is powered on or off, 
the time and day is logged to the Alarm Log.
