To access the Setup Menu to change the Recipe Mode and other controller features,
refer to the following pages of this manual.
Controller Setup
This section describes the proper setup of the Slide Gate/Auger 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.
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 blender 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.
A complete listing of all default values is provided at the end of this manual.
Recipe Entry Formats
Note: Refer to the menu structure on Page 59 for more information.
The Slide Gate/Auger System contains several operator friendly recipe menus. This section of
the manual lists these recipe menus:
• Recipe Page (Start/Setup)
• Recipe Book Page
• Recipe Format
Upon Start Up, the blender controller will default to the “Recipe Menu” screen.
The “Recipe Book” screen can be accessed in the “Recipe Page” and is useful in storing and
retrieving recipes.
The Recipe format option can be accessed in the Setup screen and is used to select one of
three available formats: “Quickset” Mode, Percentage Mode or Parts Mode. (“Quickset”
mode is the default setting preset at the factory.) In addition, every feeder in the blending
system does not need to have values entered (Percentage or Parts recipe formats), or a
material type (REGRIND, NATURAL, or ADDITIVE) in “Quickset” Mode recipe format.
Recipe Format Menu:
• “Quickset” Recipe, Percentage or Parts
• Metering Order
• Batch Size
• Inventory Shutdown
• “Batch ready” mode
• “Auto start” mode
• Weigh every batch options
