PROGRAMMING MANUAL (Imperial units) CB-6000-RGT MAGNUM VENUS PRODUCTS PROGRAMMING MANUAL – CB-6000-RGT
Preface: The MVP CB-6000-RT Resin / Glass Monitor is a four display unit for monitoring the material throughput of a specific MVP GFRP production machine. When properly calibrated, the monitor will give a continuous and accurate display of the resin and glass being consumed to produce a given part. It shows resin and glass consumption per minute to 1/10 of a pound and total amounts of resin and glass that have been consumed to 1/10 of a pound.

Resin Rate Meter programming All programming is accomplished from the front panel of the Resin Rate Meter. There are a series of switches at the rear of the meter that are preset at the factory and should not be changed. The one exception is the switch to the far right, when looking at the rear of the meter. Pushing this switch up to the on position will lock in a program so it cannot be changed until the switch is turned off. The down position is how it comes from the factory.
To determine the calibration number for a specific gravity that does not appear in Chart A simply multiply the specific gravity of the resin by 9.5280 for a VLS-4600 pump and by 24.576 for a HVLS-1000 pump. Example: 9.5280 x 1.08 = 10.290 NOTE: The resin calibration number is based on one count per stroke. With the sensor assembly used there will be more counts per stroke. To adjust the calibration number divide by the number of counts.
The following is a step-by-step procedure to change any of the operating parameters of the meter and an explanation of what the various displays mean. Step 1) Turn the front panel power switch off. Step 2) Connect power (100 to 125 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 6 VA) to the unit and turn the power switch on. The initial rate meter display should look like this: Step 3) Push the RUN/PROGRAM like this: button.
This number is the high limit for an alarm function. When the display reaches this number (or greater) a connection is made inside the unit and a .5 VDC current is available at the output terminals at the rear of the unit. To change this value, push the Right Cursor button and the first digit will be highlighted. By pushing the INCREMENT/ON or the DECREMENT/OFF buttons you can increase or decrease the value of the highlighted digit.
Step 7) Pushing the Down Cursor like this: again will change the display to look This is the calibration number for a MVP HVLS high volume resin pump with a resin specific gravity of 1.08 and is preset at MVP. To change this number use the Right Cursor button and the INCREMENT/ON and the DECREMENT/OFF buttons as described in step 4 above. See Chart A for calibration numbers. NOTE: This is the point at which you would normally leave the program mode and return to the run mode.
Step 9) Pushing the Down Cursor like this: button will change the display to look This step allows you to select the type of output signal you want. Pushing the Right Cursor button allows you to change to a LAtched signal or a FoLLower type signal. The PuLSE is normal. Step 10) Pushing the Down Cursor look like this: button will change the display to This tells you which inputs are active and is adjustable only by connecting more inputs. This display is normal.
This is a test mode for the panel buttons. Push the INCREMENT/ON button and the display will change to this: Push the DECREMENT/OFF Push the RUN/PROGRAM Push the RESET/CLEAR button and the display changes to this: button and the display changes to this: button and the display changes to this: Step 12) Pushing the Down Cursor look like this: button will change the display to This is a standard test pattern that appears.
Step 14) Push the Down Cursor change to this: button again and the display will This is a panel display test to check for any LED elements that may be out and could possibly give you false readings. This is the final function of the program mode and the RUN/PROGRAM button should now be pressed to return you to the run mode of the unit.
Part 2 Resin Total Meter programming: The Resin Total Meter is pre-programmed by MVP at the factory. All values that appear on the display must remain as set by MVP for the unit to function as a totalizer. There are two exceptions, at step 6 where the decimal point is placed and step 7 where the calibration number for resin specific gravity is entered. All programming is accomplished from the front of the Resin Total Meter.
Step 4) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: Step 5) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: Step 6) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: This is the decimal point setting for the display in the RUN mode. It is initially set at the factory to +- 0.10 pounds. If you desire more accuracy, push the RIGHT CURSOR button until you achieve the decimal point location you desire.
NOTE: The calibration number must be multiplied by the corresponding decimal point used in step 6. See example etc. with Chart B. At this point in the programming it is possible to leave the program mode and go back to the RUN/PROGRAM mode. To do so push the RUN/PROGRAM button and all changes will be saved and you will be back in RUN mode ready for operation.
Step 8) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: Step 9) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: Step 10) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: Step 11) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: Step 12) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: 14
Step 13) Push the DOWN CURSOR button and the display will change to this: Push the RUN/PROGRAM button to return to the operating mode. All the remaining steps that can be displayed are for diagnostic tests of the unit and are used by factory personnel for repair etc.
Part 3 Glass Rate Meter programming: All programming is accomplished from the front panel of the Glass Rate Meter. The programming sequence for the Glass Rate Meter is identical to the procedure outlined for the Resin Rate Meter except for the calibration number entered. The Glass Rate Meter has been programmed at the factory for a 205 yield glass pulling 2 strands through the roving cutter, 0.0613 calibration number for an Pro Chopper, VRC-2000-XXX and 4 Strand chopper (70020-X).
To determine the Glass Rate Meter calibration number for any glass yield not given in charts C and D calculate the calibration number as the example below. VRC-2000-XXX, Pro Chopper and 4 Strand Chopper assemblies (70020-X) Example: Yield 205 yds/lbs Rotor circumference: VRC-2000-XXX, Pro Chopper and 4 Strand choppers (70020-X) = 3.7699 in. 6 Strand Chopper Assembly (70010-1) = 5.4035 in. 1. Multiply yield number by 36 (inches in a yard). 205 yds 1 lbs x 36 in 1 yd = 7380 in / lb 2.
Part 4 Glass Total Meter programming: All programming is accomplished from the front panel of the Glass Total Meter. The programming sequence for the Glass Total Meter is identical to the procedure outlined for the Resin Total Meter except the calibration number entered. The Glass Total Meter has been programmed at the factory for a 205 yield glass. The VRC-2000-XXX, Pro Chopper and 4 Strand Roving Cutters (70020-X) has entered a calibration number of 0.0051 for 2 strands.
To determine the Glass Total Meter calibration number for any glass yield not given in charts E and F calculate the calibration number as the example below. VRC-2000-XXX, Pro Chopper and 4 Strand Chopper assemblies (70020-X) Example: Yield 205 yds / lbs Rotor circumference: VRC-2000-XXX, Pro Chopper and 4 Strand choppers (70020-X) = 3.7699 in. 6 Strand Chopper Assembly (70010-1) = 5.4035 in. 1. Multiply yield number by 36 (inches in a yard). 205 yds 1 lbs x 36 in 1 yd = 7380 in / lb 2.
Part 5 Troubleshooting: 1) If nothing happens when the unit is powered up, check the fuse on the back of the unit. If it is good, check to make sure that that power is coming through the supply cord. 2) If the rate reading for the resin pump is consistently fluctuating a few tenths of a pound, loosen the lock nut and screws the ball joint up or down slightly to smooth out the reading. The closer it is to center, the less fluctuation will be noticed.
