WIRING CONSIDERATIONS The wiring of your blender is very important to its proper operation. Electronics are very susceptible to voltage spikes and static charges, both of which are very common in plastics factories. To MINIMIZE these things, consider the following. 1. The power supply should be solid; a strong supply, not limited by a "just adequate" control transformer. A source of voltage that comes from a large

CHECK OUT PROCEDURE As you go through this procedure, if WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN, doesn't happen, see the next section, DIAGNOSTICS, for what to check. NOTE: 100 and 200 series models (3K load cells), display all weight readings in 1/10 grams ( x.x). 400, 900, and 1800 series models (10K load cells) display in FULL grams, no decimal. On this page we show all weight readings WITH a decimal point. Start wit

We program every controller to match the model it is shipped with. If your controller DOES NOT display the correct model (first two digits only) on power up, follow these instructions. There are SEVEN basic models of Weigh Scale Blenders. The MODEL number your unit is set for (first two digits only) is displayed during the start up sequence every time power is turned on. Disregard the last digit of your model number when selecting from this list.

RATE CALIBRATION RATE CALIBRATION is probably not necessary. The software initially expects STANDARD hardware. However, if you are using an auger feeder on a model with four dispense valves, or a 1/2 inch auger instead of a 1" auger, the software will take 10 or 20 cycles to adjust to correct operation. This slows down the process for a short time, but does not effect accuracy. If your hardware is STANDARD, or
