3 Checkup

3.1 Load cell

• Make sure transportation locks are removed and there is no mechanic influence.
• Set Lever arm factor (P15) accordingly:

If there is no weight indicated, check loadcell wiring.

3.1.1 Load cell tare

• Make sure dosing unit is empty, transportation locks are removed and there is no mechanic influence.
• Click Auto Tare.

3.1.2 Refill

• Refill hopper and confirm proper working flap.

3.1.3 Discharge

• Activate DI -Discharge option to verify vibration unit.
• Check mixer turning direction.

3.1.4 Maximum Output

• Make sure that vibration tray is filled with resin. If not, fill up with Discharge option.
• Determine maximum output with CM - Checking max. output function.

• Dosing unit starts feeding and measures outputs at low and high vibration speed.

3.2 Calibration Parameter

• Confirm Hopper volume (P16).
• Set Maximal refill time (P21) to 15.0, to detect empty hopper faster.

3.3 Product Parameter

• The parameter Decade Switch (P5) is employed for the setting of the performance range of the vibration amplitude controller, whereas 0 means setting of hardware switch (inside ISC-VC) is active. Input 1->10 => Decade 0->9.

3.4 Troubleshooting

3.4.1 Profinet communication

• Identification: The Brabender device number need to match the Profinet Node ID

e.g. btfeederh-0XX (XX = device number @ PROFINET IO system)

• Setting on the scale, which can be done also via the touchpanel CONGRAV OP1T, have to match the HWCFG
