TIMER
About the Auxiliary Device Timer
An example of an Auxiliary Device is a vibrator for a feeder
to correct bridging that can occur with some materials when
being discharged from a vessel. The timer setting sets how
long the Auxiliary Device should remain on until the bridg-
ing condition corrects itself. An Auxiliary Device can be any
device you want to enable. The timer is set based on your
process requirements.
Step 18. Press the right or left arrow buttons to increase or
decrease the time you want the Auxiliary Device to
operate.
Step 19. Press the Enter button to set the entry.
Step 20. Press the Exit button to return to the SETUP

Refill Parameters
About the Filler Refill Parameters
The Refill pertains to the vessel that is putting material into
the filler vessel. This vessel must have enough material to
complete one whole fill cycle of all the fill cycles depending
on your application. The refill vessel will probably have
level sensors indicating a high and low level. When you turn
on the Refill the instrument sees the low level sensor, for
example, that is calling for more material. It opens a gate or
valve until the material level reached the high level sensor, at
which time it closes the gate. If you turn on the Initial Refill,
it will make sure that you have enough material at the first
fill cycle. The Refill can operate at any time during filling to
make sure that the refill vessel has enough material for a fill
cycle(s).
NOTE: You must map the High and Low Level Sensors to
the instrument.

About the Dispenser/IBC Refill Parameters
The Refill pertains to the Dispensing vessel and is actuated
by the Refill Weight Parameter. The Dispense vessel must
have enough material to complete one whole dispense cycle.
If Refill is on, prior to starting a dispense cycle the instru-
ment checks the weight in the vessel. If the weight in the
vessel is below the Refill Weight it initializes the Refill func-
tion and refills the vessel to the preset Refill Weight, then
starts the dispense cycle(s). The Refill must occur in a preset
