The setting of a parameter is carried out by entering the corresponding function number followed by
"ENT".
This will make the required function appear in the prompt line of the display and show the current
value or information of the function.
This value will automatically be overwritten when entering a new value. After being entered, the new
value will be shown in the prompt line. The new value is entered into the computer by pressing "ENT".
The new value will be shown in the status lines at once.
Example:
If a volume of 8.5 ml is required, the following should be entered:
<1>++<8>+<.>+<5>+
4.7.5 Used as a filler
Example of filling job:
Volume: 8.5 ml.
Tube: 3.2.
Velocity: 400 rpm.
Acceleration: 100.
Back suction: 1
100 fill to be completed.
A delay of 1.1 seconds between each filling.
Product has a specific gravity 1.0
The above job should be programmed as follows:
Volume:
<1>++<8>+<.>+<5>+
Tube: <2>++<3>+<.>+<2>+
Velocity: <3>++<4>+<0>+<0>+
Acceleration: <4>++<1>+<0>+<0>+
Back suction: <5>++<1>+
Number of fills: <6>++<1>+<0>+<0>+
Delay: <7>++<1>+<.>+<1>+
Specific Gravity <9>++<1>+<.>+<0>+
You have now programmed the PF6 for the job, but want to reset the built- in counters. In function 8
the counters indicate "number of completed fills".
Number of fills:
<8>+++
Now inform PF6 that you want to enter filling mode by pressing .
Every time or the foot switch is pressed, or every time an electric signal is given, PF6 will run
100 fills of 8.5 ml with a delay of 1.1 seconds between the fills.
Press , verify that PF6 starts and let it run.
Press ARROW DOWN until you see function 8 on the status line and that F8: is counting each fill.
F10: gives a current indication of the number of fills completed per minute.
The fills have not been calibrated. For this function, please see chapter 5 of this manual.
