Recipes and Pens
8 Recipes and Pens
The 1040 can be programmed with 100 batching recipes. It can also track the
unloading of a batched load into 100 pens. Recipes and pens can be custom named
for ease of record keeping. This section covers the things you need to know about
recipes and using the pen features.
8.1 Recipe Features
Each recipe can draw from a list of 100 ingredients. All ingredients and recipes can be
labeled with up to six (6) alphanumeric character.
Recipes have the following features:
1. All recipes are based on weight (net or percentage) or head counts. See the
next section for details.
2. All recipes use the programmable pre-alarm warning light. This is configured in
the configuration menu. 50 lb/kg is the default value.
3. All recipes can use auto-hold capabilities if enabled in the configuration menu.
4. One recipe can use a maximum of 32 ingredients.
5. Ingredients can be programmed to be hand-adds. This means they are small
preweighed items that once loaded into the mixer are recorded as the
programmed amounts in the recipe.
6. Recipes can use the auto-mix timer count down feature after the last
ingredient has been loaded. This must be enabled in the configuration menu.
8.2 Choose a Recipe Entry Mode
You need to choose the recipe entry mode in the User Menu. Choose Weight (normal
or auto-adjust) or Head Count. See the User Menu section for information on these
choices.
When a recipe is programmed, the indicator remembers which recipe entry mode
the indicator was in at the time of recipe creation. This means you can have some
recipes based on head counts and some based on weight, if desired.
