Magnum Venus Plastech Mini Resin Meter - Manual (Page 2)

Mini Resin Meter Operation
Quick Start
1. Turn power to the Mini Resin Meter on
2. To set the Preset (number of counts) press or key once. Use the key to increase
that column to the desired number. Use the key to select the desired column, you must
set each of the columns, one’s, ten’s, hundred’s separately.
3. When finished entering the desired number into the Preset press the key once to store
the number.
Note: Pressing the key will reset the counter to zero.
Calibration & Startup
The Meter will count to18 per strokes (pump movement in one direction). The sensor gives one
count for each of the 18 slots in the comb. There are a couple of methods of calibrating the Preset
for your part.
Set the counter at the maximum setting or very high for the first operation. Once you have filled
your part with the desired amount of material note the number on the display. This number
becomes you Preset. Enter the number into your Preset, when the counts reach that number the
pump will shut off and the display will reset to zero.
Another method to determine your Preset is to
1. Test sample resin by cycling the resin pump 10 full up and down strokes and note the
number that appears on the display.
2. Weigh the resin sample that was discharged from the pump.
3. Divide the desired amount (weight) of resin required to produce the part by the amount
(weight) of the resin sample discharged in the step above (step #2)
A (desired weight)
= C
B (resin sample weight)
4. Multiply the number noted in step #1 by C the number derived in step #3. This becomes
your Preset, enter this number into your Preset, when the counts reach that number the
pump will shut off and the display will reset to zero.
