▪ Confirmation: tap the confirmation
key to accept the entered values.
Verification of the correctness of the
data entered in case of error signal will
be performed; check that all
parameters entered are congruent.
After confirming, proceed with the "add"

To recall the recipe entered in the
database, use the "Select From List"
command, select the recipe you want and
proceed as shown below.
After selecting the desired recipe, a
summary screen will be displayed showing
all the components and their amount
needed to make the recipe.
Tap the "Ok" key to confirm and proceed
by entering the multiplication factor needed
to determine the total amount of the recipe.
(i.e. if the recipe has been stored to
produce 10g of product and you want to
produce 100g insert a "K" factor of 10). If
the entered value does not allow the dosing
of one of the components because its
quantity exceeds the scale capacity, it will
not be accepted.
If the total weight of the recipe instead
exceeds the scale capacity, but the
individual components are lower, it will be
asked whether to proceed with the
"separate recipe".
▪ Yes: to proceed with the separate
recipe.
▪ No: to change the value of the
multiplier factor "K" and reduce the
quantities.
The recipe screen shows the type of recipe
you are using by displaying two symbols as
described below:
Symbol displayed in case of "unique
recipe".
Symbol displayed in case of "separate
recipe ".

Dosing bar:
The dosing bar works with automatic graduated enlargement. When the dosed quantity
approaches the two levels of tolerance, the center zone is automatically enlarged to allow
dosing with a greater sensitivity.
The bar takes on different colors:
Yellow when the loaded weight is lower than the minimum threshold
Green when the weight is within the set range
Red when the weight is higher than the upper threshold set
75
If during dosing the amount of dosed component exceeds that allowed by the tolerances, it will
be required to perform automatic adjustment of the recipe with a new total quantity and the
quantity update of all the components of the recipe.
Tap the "Yes" button to confirm the adjustment, press the "No" button to return to the dosing
screen. In this case, you can remove excess quantity or cancel the recipe by tapping the "X"
key.
When the correct dosage of all components is completed, the actual dosed amount will be
displayed:
