• RESIN RATE SCALING VALUES:
The resin rate is specified by two programmable parameters: A desired Rate Display
Value (rdSP 1) and a corresponding Rate Input Value (r I
n
P 1).
QUICK START:
Enter a value into the display value (rdSP 1) and Input value (r InP 1)
Display Value (rdSP 1) = 60 represents minutes
Input Value (r InP 1) = 50 (any number as a starting point)
If the resin total meter is working run the pump for one minute and the displayed rate
during that minute should be equal to the total amount of resin displayed after one
minute. For a more accurate metering, run the tests for a longer period of time. The
calibration can be conducted before the catalyst system is primed, that way the resin
can be processed through the gun for a more accurate calibration and the resin can be
returned to the source without fear of catalization.
The decimal place can be adjusted by multiplying the values by 10 or 100 (see above),
both values must be raised and lower by the same proportion i.e. if the display value is
raised by a multiple of 10 then the input value must be raised by the same. Both values
must be greater than 0.0.
The Resin Rate can be calculated by:
If the number of pulses per “single” unit (i.e. # of pulses per pound) is known, then it can
be entered as the Scaling Input value and the Scaling Display value will be entered as
the following:
Display Value (rdSP 1) 1 = seconds, 60 = minutes and 3600 = Hours
Input Value (r I
n
P 1) = # of pulses per unit
Notes:
1. The decimal place can be adjusted by multiplying the values by 10 or 100,
both values must be raised and lower by the same proportion i.e. if the
display value is raised by a multiple of 10 then the input value must be raised
by the same.
2. Both values must be greater than zero (0).
From above we know that there are 14 Pulses per Pound and
31 Pulses per Kilogram
