Manual Mode - when the proportioning or flow control
system is controlling the inputs without any input from
an outside control.
Mix - when cross-linking of the resin (A) and catalyst (B)
occurs (in ProMix 2KS applications). In ProControl 1KS
applications, indicates the system is active.
Mix Input Signal- refers to system mode status where
system begins a dose sequence each time the mix sig-
nal is made “High”.
Modbus/TCP - a type of communication protocol used
to communicate Digital I/O signals over an ethernet.
Network Station - a means to identify a particular indi-
vidual proportioning or flow control system.
Overdose Alarm - when either the resin (A) or catalyst
(B) component dispenses too much material and the
system cannot compensate for the additional material.
Potlife Time - the amount of time before a material
becomes unsprayable.
Potlife Volume - the amount of material that is required
to move through the mix manifold, hose and applicator
before the potlife timer is reset.
Purge - when all mixed material is flushed from the sys-
tem.
Purge Time - the amount of time required to flush all
mixed material from the system.
Ratio Tolerance - the settable percent of acceptable
variance that the system will allow before a ratio alarm
occurs.
Sequential Color Change - the process when a color
change is initiated and the system automatically flushes
the old color and loads a new color.
Solvent Fill - the time required to fill the mixed material
line with solvent.
Standby - refers to the status of the system.
Third Purge Valve - refers to the use of three purge
valves used to flush some waterborne materials. The
valves are used to flush with water, air and solvent.
V/P - refers to the voltage to air pressure device in the
flow control module.
