Glass Rate and Glass Total Quick Start work sheet:
Quick Start setup for Glass Rate and Glass Total Calibration
Before activating the chopper be sure the pump pressure is set to zero and the fluid
pressures have been relived.
The Glass Rate and Glass Total are calibrated using the same procedure as the resin
rate and total only on the glass meters. The glass rate and total can be setup a couple
of different ways depending on how many strands of glass are being used. The total
can include both strands of glass or calculated for one strand and then doubled to give
the correct total.
To Calibrate the Glass Rate and Glass Total using the Quick Start Method –
First setup the program parameters for the two displays as noted on the setup sheets in
the back of the manual.
Now run the chopper of one minute catching the glass into a bag then take a weight
measurement (pounds or kilograms). This is your Resin Rate per minute.
• The Glass Rate is specified by two programmable parameters: Rate Display Value
and a corresponding Rate Input Value. The Display Value is the time base so set
the Display Value to 60 for minutes. Activate the chopper and note the rate. Now
adjust the Input Value so that the Rate displayed equals the measurement taken. Be
sure not to change the chopper setting or you will need to take another weight
measurement.
• The Glass Total is specified by the Scale Factor parameter and should equal the
Glass Rate for a minute. Adjust the Scale Factor so that the Glass Total displays
the glass rate for every minute active. Push the total reset and time for one minute
the amount displayed should equal the rate displayed.
Repeat this process until the unit displays the correct amount of glass, the unit is now
calibrated.
Again for a more accurate metering, run the tests for a longer period of time.
Periodically check the output weight to confirm the calibration and adjust accordingly.
