Calibration – Resin Total & Rate:
Setup and Installation -
The Resin Total counter needs to be calibrated to display the desired value. This is done
by entering a Scaling Factor into the Resin Total display. The scaling factor will depend
on many factors, including the specific gravity of the resin, efficiency of the pumping
system, size of the pumping system and number of counts per stroke. Once calibrated
the unit will accurately display the total amount of material dispensed in the units desired.
The units of measure are determined by the weight measure used i.e. 1 can be either
pounds or kilograms, which ever you choose.
The Resin Rate counter needs to be calibrated to display the desired value. This is
done by entering a Display Value and Input Value into the Resin Rate meter. These
two Values are determined by the material used, time units and units of measure
desired i.e. kilograms per minute or pounds per minute. Once calibrated the unit will
accurately display the rate at which the material is being dispensed in the units desired.
The Resin Rate meter should display the “
r
” at
the left of the window to display the rate properly.
The Resin Total meter should display the “ A “ at
the upper left of the window to display the total
properly.
• RESIN TOTAL SCALING FACTOR
The number of input counts is multiplied by the scale factor (ASCFAC) to obtain the
desired process value. This is accomplished by the counter mode (A C
n
t), scale factor
(ASCFAC), scale multiplier (ASCALr) and decimal point (AdECPt).
