2. PROGRAMMING OF THE POWDER DOSER

Up to 27 pairs of time and speed settings (flow rates) may be programmed in a simple way. The programming mode is accessed by simultaneously pressing the buttons REMOTE and RUN until the indication “PGM” appears on display and the REMOTE and RUN LEDs are switched on.

Pressing Remote and Run buttons simultaneously and the “PGM” indication appears. Continuous pressing of Remote and Run button even after the indication of “PGM” ends up with the “cLE” indication.
Figure 2-1: Pressing Remote and Run buttons simultaneously and the "PGM" indication appears. Figure 2-2: Continuous pressing of Remote and Run button even after the indication of "PGM" ends up with the "cLE" indication.

Remark: If you repeat this simultaneous pressing of the REMOTE and RUN buttons, the memory will be cleared and the indication “cLE” will appear on the display. To enter the programming mode again, press the REMOTE and RUN buttons again until “PGM” appears.

The indication “F01” appears for a short time on the display indicating that the first flow rate (speed setting) value has been selected. Setting the desired flow rate value for the first program step by pressing the buttons ΛΛΛ below the display (from 0 to 999, corresponding to 0 to 100% of the motor rotation speed).
Figure 2-3: Press the ON/OFF button. The indication “F01” will appear for a short time on the display indicating that you can select the first flow rate (speed setting) value. Figure 2-4: Set the desired flow rate value for the first program step by pressing the buttons ΛΛΛ below the display (from 0 to 999, corresponding to 0 to 100% of the motor rotation speed).
The indication “t01” appears for a few seconds on the display indicating that the time period of the first step in 0.1 minute steps is programmed. Selecting the desired time period for the first program step by pressing the buttons ΛΛΛ below the display (from 0 to 999 minutes or 00.0 to 99.9 minutes).
Figure 2-5: Press the ON/OFF button. The indication “t01” will appear for a few seconds on the display indicating that you can program the time period of the first step in minutes 0.1 minute steps. Figure 2-6: Select the desired time period for the first program step by pressing the buttons ΛΛΛ below the display (from 0 to 999 minutes or 00.0 to 99.9 minutes). By pressing the ADRS button, the time resolution can be set in minutes or 0.1 minutes. In the 0.1 minute time resolution a dot is displayed, e.g. “00.1”.
The indication “F02” appears briefly on the display. Selecting the desired flow rate for the second program step
Figure 2-7: Press the ON/OFF button. The indication “F02” will briefly appear on the display. Figure 2-8: You can now enter the desired flow rate for the second program step.
The indication “t02” appears for a few seconds on the display indicating that the time period of the second step in 0.1 minute steps is programmed. By pressing the ADRS button, the time resolution can be set in minutes or 0.1 minutes. In the 0.1 minute time resolution a dot is displayed, e.g. “00.1”.
Figure 2-9: Press the ON/OFF button. The symbol “t02” will briefly appear on the display. Figure 2-10: You can now set the time of the second program step.

In a similar way up to 27 program steps can be entered.

Programming final step by selecting flow rate 000.
Figure 2-11: After having entered the time of the last step, press the ON/OFF button. The flow rate (000) of the next step which will not be programmed appears on the display. For example: “F05” Figure 2-12: Do not change the flow rate (000).

Remark: It is not possible to end the program after programming the time data.

“c01” (Cycle 01) indicates that the program will be executed only once and the powder dosing instrument will stop afterwards. Increasing the cycle number to “c02” by pressing the buttons Λ Λ Λ below the display (from 0 to 99 cycles) repeats the program twice. The program can be repeated up to 99 times, indicated by “c99”. If 0 is entered for the cycle number “c00”, the program will run continuously (infinite loop).
Figure 2-13: Press both REMOTE and RUN buttons simultaneously and you will see the indication “c01” on the display. This indicates that the program will be executed only once and the powder dosing instrument will stop afterwards. Figure 2-14: If you wish to repeat the same program 2 times, increase the cycle number to “c02” by pressing the buttons Λ Λ Λ below the display (from 0 to 99 cycles). The program can be repeated up to 99 times, indicated by “c99”. If 0 is entered for the cycle number “c00”, the program will run continuously (infinite loop).
Pressing the ON/OFF button again until the indication “End” appears on the display to confirm and save the program. Pressing the RUN button to START the program
Figure 2-15: Press the ON/OFF button again until the indication “End” appears on the display to confirm and save the program. Figure 2-16: To START the program, press the RUN button. The RUN and ON/OFF LEDs are on.

To stop the running program definitively, press the RUN button. The RUN and ON/OFF LEDs are off.

It is possible to stop the pump by pressing the ON/OFF button, to change the rotation speed during any running program step. This allows reaction in emergency situations.

Remark: Do not forget to switch the powder DOSER on again (by pressing the ON/OFF button) after you have finished your intervention.
