6.4.3 Edit machine parameters
The machine parameter list is a list with parameters which can be adjusted to set-up general
parameters in the machine. These parameters are used for all programs. Because they are valid for
all programs, machine parameters are only accessible via the level 2 password.
In the ‘edit machine parameters’ screen parameters can be selected with the arrow buttons
up and down. A value can be changed with the plus and minus buttons, or with the numeric buttons.
Changing the value must be confirmed with the enter button. The upper line will show the number
and name of the parameter, followed by the value.
On the lower line, the maximum and minimum limit will be displayed. If the icon is
shown, it is possible to move up or down in the list, if the icon is shown it is possible to increase
or decrease the value.
If the shift button is used in combination with the arrow buttons, the controller will move to
the first or last item in the list. If the shift button is used in combination with the plus and minus
buttons, the value will be increased or decreased in larger steps.
The following machine parameters are available:
(01) Tmp in fahrenheit
Put this parameter to ‘yes’ if all temperature settings and displays should be displayed in
Fahrenheit units instead of Celsius. If this parameter is ‘no’, all temperature settings and displays
will be displayed in Celsius units.
NOTE: This value only changes the units used for displaying temperature values. Internally the
controller always works with Fahrenheit units.
(05) Maintenance cycle
Use this parameter for setting the number of batches until a maintenance request is done. If,
for example, the value of this parameter is 500 then as soon as 500 batches have been done the
controller will show the message ‘Maintenance request’ when the machine is in rest. The
maintenance counter can be reset again in the ‘System Setup’ menu, item ‘Reset maintenance
request’ (see chapter 6.6.4). The number of batches which still can be done until a maintenance
request is displayed can be read in the non-resettable counters screen (see chapter 6.3.4).
If this parameter is set to 0, the maintenance request option is disabled and no maintenance
request will be displayed.
(06) Finished beeptim.
When a program is finished, the controller will activate the beeper. This parameter is the
time the beeper will beep when a cycle is finished. This time is repeated every 2 minutes until the
door has been opened.
(07) Overview status
This parameter is used to control the 2
nd
line in the display in the overview screen when the
machine is running.
Value 0:
Toggle between current time left (see value 1) and current temperatures and step (see
value 2)
Value 1: Only show current temperature, temperature set-point and current step.
Value 2: Only show time left in current step and total time left until program is finished.
