The 

normal operating display

 shows the status of the control with regard to input signals and control settings.  They 

are listed from highest to lowest in priority.  The highest priority message takes precedence over the other messages. 

 

Stop/Run

 -  The 1/0 button has been pushed to disable control operation.  

Override

 -  The 1/0 button has been pushed and held so the control feeds while ignoring the “Sensor” or “Run” inputs. 

Run Input

 -  The run jumper has not been not made.  

Parts Sens

 -  The parts sensor and control logic is telling the control to stay off.   

Empty/jam

 -  Empty bowl timer has timed out because parts did not pass by the parts sensor to reset the timer.  

Analog

 -  An external signal is in control of the speed input.  

Low

 -  Low Speed used when 2 speed has been selected and the sensor is not made. 

Zero Speed

 -  The output is off because the output is set to 0.0%. 

Run 

–  The feeder is running normally.   

Run/CFR

 – Constant Feed Rate sensor is regulating the feed rate (Autotune®).
