4.  Press the number next to “sec” on the “Remix Time” to set “Re-mix” off time.  This 

allows the mixer to come on between batches if the blender cycle time is very slow, 
i.e. if you want the mixer to come on every minute, set this to 60 seconds.  If you 
don’t want to use this function, set the time to “0”. 

5.  Press the number next to “sec” on the “Dump Time” to set your dump time (A value 

between “1” and “999” will need to be entered.).  This feature is the amount of time 
required to empty the batch hopper.  (Set the time so that all the material in the weigh 
hopper has a chance to be evacuated.) 

6.  Press the number next to “sec” on the “Dump Delay” line for the optional dump 

delay setting.  This is the amount of time to start the mixer prior to dumping material 
into the mixing chamber.  Set to “0” to disable this feature. 

7.  Press the number next to “Dump Cycles” to enter the number of times that material 

will be dumped from the weigh hopper.  This allows the dump valve to open and shut 
repeatedly when the weigh hopper is empty to shake lose any sticking material.  If 
this feature is set to “1” then the batch will dump normally. 

8.  Press the number next to “sec” on the “Mixer Dump Time” to enter the amount of 

time that the mixer will run while dumping material out of the knife gate below the 
mixer.  This feature assists in cleaning out the mixer. 

9.  Press “Done” to return to the “Setup” screen. 

10. Press “Alarm Setup” on the “Setup” screen to look at the “Alarm Flags & Feeder 

Setup screen.” 

11. This screen allows you to change the way alarms on each feeder function.  Enter the 

feeder you wish to configure by pressing the corresponding feeder number under 
“Select Feeder”.  You can select “Stop if “Out of Material” which means if there is 
any kind of alarm on this feeder, the blender process will stop (i.e. The feeder supply 
hopper is out of material.)  You can also set it to “Continue if “Out of Material.”  
This mode will alarm but let the blender continue to operate or you can set it to “No 
Alarm on Out of Material” mode.  “No Alarm” mode does not set off any alarms.  In 
addition, an “Out of Material Alarm Silence Delay” specifies the amount of time 
before an alarm will be set off. 

12. Press “Done” to return to the “Setup” screen. 

 

The operator can startup the blender by selecting the button that says, “Push to Start or Stop” 
(startup) on the left side of the Recipe Screen, depending on whether the blender is currently 
running or is stopped.  Simply touch the button to either start or stop the blender.  If the 
operator selects “Stop Blender” then the current batch in progress is first finished and then the 
blender will stop making new batches. 

 

To immediately stop the blender, the operator can touch “Abort Current Batch.”  This will 
cause the blender to stop making the current batch immediately.  Obviously, if the blender is 
stopped in this method then the current batch will not be completed properly.
