AccuMeter Controller Chapter 12: Quick Startup and Calibration 85
Step 5a: Enter the Recipe and Start the blender (skip to 5b if you
are running all feeders offline and not running them together as a blender)
• Verify that all materials have been loaded into each hopper
• Touch the blue recipe percent box for each feeder and enter in the desired
percentage. Remember that the total must add to 100%. If the total is not
100% then you will be notified by a Red message.
• The blender knows the minimum and maximum amount that each feeder can
perform. A difficult to understand topic is that it is possible to enter in a recipe
for a given set of feeders that cannot be ran by the blender. The best example
is that if you had 2 feeders, one that can run between 1-100 lbs/hr. and the
other that can run between 200-2000 lbs/hr. and you want to run a 50/50 blend.
You can clearly see that there is not any speed that the controller can choose to
meet this recipe. If you enter a recipe that cannot be ran you will be notified of
this by a Red message as shown below.
