time the mixer will mix or the batch is dumped. 

3.  Enter a “Mixing Time” by pressing the number next to “sec”, this 

is the amount of time to run the mixer after a batch is dumped 
into the mixing chamber.  Remember that if the mix time is too 
long you may get material separation. 

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.
