Calibration weight is determined from chart 5.1, and is dependant on the disc installed in the feeder.
This weight is the amount of standard density material dispensed by the feeder during one revolution of the
disc. This weight is used as the initial value for recipe validation and feed rate calculation. If samples are not
weighed as described in the next section, this value is used during operation. The weight can be entered in
ounces or grams. The unit of measure is changed by pressing the units button at the middle right of the screen.
Changing the unit of measure will NOT change the value displayed on the screen. The value initially displayed
is the weight which would result in a motor speed of 25%. The valid range of values would then be ¼ to 2.5
times this initial value.

Additive Sample weighing.
Weighing samples of additive provides for more precise control of feed rate. Up to 5 samples can be
weighed. All weights entered are averaged to arrive at a value to be used during operation. The weighing
process may be skipped altogether, in which case the calibration weight is used for calculations of feed rate.

3-4 Calibration
The final step of recipe setup is weight calibration. This procedure is common to all types of presses
supported. After entering the calibration weight, pressing the “Next” button displays the following screen:
Press the “Menu” button to skip the weighing procedure and use the calibration weight for feed rate
calculations. Note that using the calibration weight is not as accurate as weighing samples. Pressing the “Next”
button displays screen #1.

Initial preparation for weighing samples. The access cover to the calibration chamber should be
removed / opened. The container used to catch and hold the samples should be tared (place the container on the
scale and zero the scale). The container should then be placed in the calibration chamber. Press “Next” when
these steps have been completed. The motor will begin to run as Screen 2 will be displayed.
