Alarm Setup
This screen allows the user to configure the feeder type for each feeder; configure whether a 
feeder will retry during the metering of a batch, and enable or disable the “Out of Material” 
alarm for any feeder. If a hopper is set to “No Retry” then the blender will continue to meter 
the rest of the batch even if this hopper runs out of material. No “Out of Material” alarm will 
be given regardless of how the alarm is configured unless the user has purchased and wired in 
the low level proximity switches in each hopper. To configure each hopper, perform the 
following steps: 
1. Select a feeder by touching the “Select Feeder” box.
2. The current settings for that hopper will be shown.
3. Make the necessary adjustments and select a new feeder to configure if desired.
4. Hit “Done” to exit.
