Partial convey
When this option is enabled, the controller
issues a “partial convey” alarm if it has
repeatedly attempted to convey material to the
station, and material has moved from the station
into the receiver, but the volume-fill proximity
sensor has never signaled that the station is full.
(The number of attempts is controlled by the
next setting.)
For a volume-fill station, this option should
usually be enabled. At times, you may wish to
disable it during operation as a stopgap
measure for dealing with an alarm. For a time-fill
station, disable this option.
