recommended) and it will not  cause any error in the displayed measurement.  Another more 
common procedure would be if an operator intermittently adds a processing agent to the 
extruder by dumping it directly into the weigh hopper.  This will not cause any error due to 
the measurement algorithm that was previously mentioned.  
 
Max Allowed WTP/RPM 
If a lbs/hr per RPM value is every calculated above this setting then the GH will ignore the 
sample.  This is to prevent an operator from draining a hopper while running and causing an 
erroneous, but consistent measurement.  The flow through an open drain tube is very 
consistent and would cause the extruder to respond by speeding up unless this value is setup.  
By default this is disabled and must be configured by a knowledgeable service person.  After 
running for some time you can go to the WTP/RPM Calibration page and observe the average 
WTP/RPM factor.  You can then set this value above that by 200-300 % to eliminate the error 
caused by draining the hopper while running.

For a GH-M and GH Full Control Systems the “GH Hopper Mode” should always be 
enabled.  If the system is a GH-F gravimetric feeder then this should be set to “GH Feeder 
Mode”. 
The mechanical options screen also allows the user to set the method of obtaining the 
extruder’s RPM.  This setting should also be factory set.   
If the optional Ethernet module is purchased, the unit should be set to “Write Ext RPM 
through COM (F13:1). 
If the extruder’s RPM is being measured with the supplied proximity switch the unit should 
be set to “Measure Ext RPM with Prox”.  If the mechanical device to measure the extruder’s 
speed presents more than one pulse per revolution, this value may be changed on the 
“Mechanical Options” page also.  Simply input the number of pulses per revolution in the 
“Extruder PPR” field. 
The hauloff encoder setting is only used on GH Full Control Systems. 
The “GHF feeder max RPM” setting should only be set if the system is a GH-F gravimetric 
feeder.  Set this value to the maximum RPM of the feeder itself.  The AC drives double the 
maximum speed of the motor.  Each motor can then run 3600 RPM.  To calculate this setting 
divide by the gearbox setting (i.e. 10:1 would be 360).
