Chapter 4: Operation
4-1 Overview
Your 3-pump, 33-station controller electrically controls valves and solenoids to convey
material from a central location to individual stations as needed. The controller senses
demands for material at the stations and responds to the demands in a timely fashion.
This section gives the procedures for using your controller, and it covers tasks that can be
carried out with no password or with an operator’s password. The section is divided into three
sub-sections:
• Basic tasks: tasks normally carried out by a station operator
• Advanced tasks: tasks normally carried out by setup personnel
• Alarms: silencing and clearing alarms
Note: Before you carry out any of the procedures in this chapter, the system must be set up
as described in the previous chapter.
