Chapter 4: Operation
4-1 Starting the System
After the initial scale calibration, auger calibration, and setup items have been completed and
entered (one time only after installation), the unit is ready to start.
1. Start the extruder and bring up to production rate and gauge.
2. After the extruder is running at production speed, set in the running rate you want on
the feeder by pressing 2 on the keypad to enter the Recipe menu.
3. Press START to enter the feeder meter rate you want, then press ENTER to enter
the rate into computer memory.
4. Press the BACKUP key to return to the Startup menu.
5. Press 1 to start the unit.
6. If the inventory is not reading 0, press the BACKUP key to return to the Startup
menu, press 4 to enter the Inventory menu, then press CLEAR to clear the
inventory. Press BACKUP to return to the Startup menu, then press 1 to bring up
the display.
Note: The control is multi-tasking. This means if the unit is running, other
menus, such as Inventory or Recipe, can be entered and changed while
the unit is still running. Then when it is restarted, by pressing 1 from
the startup menu, the new changes will take place and reset the unit.
