Job Total - a resettable value that shows the amount of
material dispensed through the system for one job. A job
is complete when a color change or complete system
flush occurs.
K-factor - a value that refers to the amount of material
that passes through a meter. The assigned value refers
to an amount of material per pulse.
Ki - refers to the degree fluid flow over shoots its set
point.
Kp - refers to the speed in which the fluid flow reaches
its set point.
Manual Mode - when the proportioning or flow control
system is controlling the inputs without any input from
an outside control.
Minimum Material Fill Volume - system monitors
material fill volume. E-21 Alarm occurs if minimum vol-
ume is not achieved. Minimum material fill volume is
user settable (0-9999 cc).
Mix - when cross-linking of the resin (A) and catalyst (B)
occurs.
Mix Input Signal- refers to system mode status where
system begins a dose sequence each time the mix sig-
nal is made “High”.
Mixed Material Fill Time - the amount of time that is
required to load mixed material from the dose valves to
the applicator/gun.
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.
Purge Volume Alarm - E-11 Alarm occurs if minimum
flush volume is not achieved.
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.
Sequential Dosing - Components A and B dispense
sequentially in the necessary volumes to attain the mix
ratio.
Solvent/3rd Purge Valve Chop Time- duration of each
activation of the solvent or 3rd purge valve during a
chop sequence. User settable from 0.0-99.9 seconds.
Solvent Fill - the time required to fill the mixed material
line with solvent.
Solvent Push - enables the user to save some mixed
material by pushing it out to the gun with solvent.
Requires an accessory solvent meter.
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.
