Set Dump Delay, Hopper Settings Menu
The second submenu in Station Settings is the Set Dump Delay
submenu.
To set dump delay time:
„ Press the YES key.
After a hopper finishes loading, the next hopper in the queue
usually gets loaded. The time it takes to load the new hopper(s)
usually gives ample time for the first hopper to dump its material.
However, in a situation where a single hopper is being loaded, a
demand may be generated during the dump cycle from material
catching on the flapper switch. This may cause an inadvertent load
while the hopper is still dumping material.
