6-3 Control Setup
This section describes the proper setup of the OS/OA blending system control
parameters. These parameters are operator changeable; however, these items
should only require setup during the initial installation. Only authorized personnel
should change them. For security reasons, the menu that is used to access these
parameters is password protected. The factory-installed password to gain
access to the diagnostic menu is located on the last four supervisor pages
of this manual. It should be removed if the manual is to be kept on the
production floor.
Many of the variables and setup parameters have been preset at the factory and
do not need to be changed. However, this section of the manual will address all
of the OS/OA setup parameters that were available at the time of printing. The
purpose of this is to familiarize the reader with all the setup parameters and their
usage.
The following parameters are discussed (factory defaults shown):
