 PACLER ANALOG OUT:


enables/disables the analog management of the packer rotation by means of the DICO 908A card (YES, NO).

 RAPID DISCHARGE ENABLE :


Enable/disable Rapid Discharge Function (OFF, ON)

 RAPID DISCHARGE TYPE :


identifies the type of Rapid Discharge (INSIDE, OUTSIDE, SINGLE CHANNEL, DOUBLE CHANNEL)
INSIDE : The unloading is done by downloading the material directly from the pump housing in a
channel recovery placed inside the packer; the discharge takes place in load unit at a time for
each and lasts for the set time (see ON TIME).

OUTSIDE : The unloading is done with the machine in rotation discharging the material from the
nozzle against the screens; the discharge for each load unit starts when this transits from the encoder
position of "Manual Start" and continues for the set time (see ON TIME) or until the position encoder
"Rapid Discharge" programmed.

SINGLE CHANNEL : The discharge is effected by positioning each load unit in front of a channel
placed outside the Packer ; once you positioned the Packer the channel is closer to the nozzle unit
concerned in order to convey the material discharged from the nozzle to the auger recovery placed
under the Packer. The discharge continues until the load unit does not feel the material passing into
the nozzle. The positioning of the load unit with respect to the raceway occurs automatically. The
cycle ends when all the load units have finished downloading the material.
DOUBLE CHANNEL : The procedure is the same as that in SINGLE CHANNEL, with the difference
that the load units engaged in the discharge are two at a time.

it is the nominal weight of the bag to be weighed (kilogramms).

 LOWER LIMIT 1 :
it is the lower limit in respect to the nominal value (kilogramms).

 LOWER LIMIT 2 :
it is the weight deficiency in respect to the nominal value (kilogramms).

 EMPTY BAG WEIGHT :


it is the weight of the empty bag; the weigher considers the net weight equal to “Detected weight - weight of
the bag”.(gramms).

 BAG WAITING TIME :


it is the time passing from the moment the bag is evacuated from the spout of the packer to the moment the
inlet photocell is engaged (milliseconds).
