-For the Filling Start Weight, use a low filling start weight level as shown on the filling start weight on the
previous page, a high fill start weight level will increase the amount of filling cycles.
-Use a fill time long enough so that the material at least covers the sight glass in the back of the hopper.
Overfilling the hopper should be avoided.
Recommended settings for MV hopper loader
-For the Filling Start Weight use a low filling start weight level as shown on the filling start weight on the
previous page, a high fill start weight level will increase the amount of filling cycles.
-Use a fill time so that the vacuum chamber of the MV-Loader is almost completely filled.
Overfilling of the vacuum chamber should be avoided.
-The empty time is critical. Set the empty time for approximately two (2) seconds longer than the actual
(observed) empty time. An empty time setting that is too short can cause a decrease in the capacity of the MV-
hopper loader.
-For the amount of filling cycles, use an amount so that the material at least covers the sight glass in the back
of the hopper. Overfilling the hopper should be avoided.
Recommended settings for EX hopper loader (support frame):
-The volume of a standard hopper is 0.2ft
3
{6 L}. To set the EX-H level (stop filling), Conair recommends using
a safety margin to prevent the hopper from overfilling.
- EX-H (g) = 5 (liter) x bulk density (g/L)
For example: If the bulk density = 700 g/L, the EX-H should be set to 700 x 5 = 3500 g (7.7 lb).
The EX-HH (g) should be set higher, recommended 700 x 6 = 4200 g (9.3 lb).
Overfilling of the hopper should be avoided because it will effect the measurement.
7.11 Consumption
The Consumption menu will be visible when an automatic filling system is selected and enabled in the
HOPPER LOADER menu. Without use of a filling system, accurate working of the consumption registration is
not supported.
With the Consumption function, it is possible to view the total quantity of material dispensed by the TrueFeed.
The consumption is saved in the control’s memory and remains in the memory even when the unit is shut off or
unplugged.
To reset the consumption record, navigate to Reset and select “YES” and then press “Enter”.
 The consumption record is updated every 10 seconds.
