Mini Resin Meter Operation

Quick Start

1. Turn power to the Mini Resin Meter on

2. To set the Preset (number of counts) press or key once. Use the key to increase
that column to the desired number. Use the key to select the desired column, you must

set each of the columns, one’s, ten’s, hundred’s separately.

3. When finished entering the desired number into the Preset press the key once to store
the number.

Note: Pressing the key will reset the counter to zero.

Calibration & Startup

The Meter will count to18 per strokes (pump movement in one direction). The sensor gives one
count for each of the 18 slots in the comb. There are a couple of methods of calibrating the Preset
for your part.

Set the counter at the maximum setting or very high for the first operation. Once you have filled
your part with the desired amount of material note the number on the display. This number
becomes you Preset. Enter the number into your Preset, when the counts reach that number the
pump will shut off and the display will reset to zero.

Another method to determine your Preset is to

1. Test sample resin by cycling the resin pump 10 full up and down strokes and note the
number that appears on the display.

2. Weigh the resin sample that was discharged from the pump.

3. Divide the desired amount (weight) of resin required to produce the part by the amount
(weight) of the resin sample discharged in the step above (step #2)

A (desired weight)

B (resin sample weight)

4. Multiply the number noted in step #1 by C the number derived in step #3. This becomes
your Preset, enter this number into your Preset, when the counts reach that number the
pump will shut off and the display will reset to zero.

Front Panel Description

The front panel bezel material is flame and scratch resistant, textured plastic with clear viewing
window that meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements, when properly installed. Continuous exposure
to direct sunlight might accelerate the aging process of the plastic material used in the bezel. The
bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap product. Do NOT use solvents.

= C

There are up to seven annunciators available in the lower display that illuminate to inform the
operator of the counter and output status. See Figure 10, Front Panel, for a description of the
annunciators.

Four front panel keys are used to access different modes and parameters. The following is a
description of each key.

Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the keypad of this unit.

Keypad Functions

This key is a user programmable key. When the key is pressed, the unit performs the
appropriate function as programmed. The RST printing on this key is used as a quick reference for
the operator if the function key is selected for a reset function.

This key is used to access programming, enter changes to data values, and scroll through

the available parameters in any mode.

This key selects the next available mode option during programming. When programming a
numerical value in digit entry mode, this key is used to increment the selected digit position. In auto
scrolling entry mode, it increments the value. When in the operating mode, this key is pressed to
allow changing of the data value viewed in the secondary display.

When programming a numerical value in digit en" mode, this key accesses the value and
selects the digit to the right. In auto scrolling entry mode, it decrements the value. When in the
operating mode, this key is pressed to allow changing of the data value viewed in the secondary
display.

Programming Mini Resin Meter

Programming of the C48 Counter is done through the front panel keypad. English language
prompts, flashing parameter values, and the front panel keypad aid the operator during
programming.
Although the unit has been programmed at Magnum Venus Products. There may be an occasion

where the unit has to be reprogrammed. To enter the programming menu, the key pressed and
held for two seconds. Once in the programming menu, the key is used to sequence through the

list of programming parameters. To loop backwards one item in the Programming Menu, press and
hold the key, then quickly press and hold the while releasing the key. Repeatedly
pressing the key with the key held will continue the backwards sequencing.

Programming Option Values

The operator can scroll through the available options for a selected parameter by pressing the
or keys to enter parameter change mode, and then pressing the key repeatedly until the
desired option is viewed. The option is entered by pressing the key, which returns the operator

to the Programming Menu.

Programming Numeric Data Values

The presets, prescaler, and output time values may be accessible when the unit is in the normal
operating mode (not programming mode), providing that the Program Disable input is not activated.

Pressing the key will sequence the secondary display through the available presets, prescaler,
and output time values.

To change a numeric data value it must be visible on the secondary display. Pressing the or
key will allow changing of the value. The two methods for changing numeric data values are "digit
entry" and "auto scrolling".

Digit Entry

If the data entry method has been set to "digit entry", the least significant digit will blink. Pressing
the key multiple times will select other digits. Pressing the will increment the selected digit.
The data value will be entered when the key is pushed, or the old value will be retained if no

key activity is detected for 10 seconds.

Short-Cut - Decrementing Value

To decrement a digit value, press and hold the key and then press the key. This will
decrement the selected digit to zero if held.

Saving Program

All parameter values changed in programming mode are saved when exiting. To exit programming
mode, press and hold the key for two seconds. The display will momentarily display Prog

SAVE while the parameter values are saved in non-volatile memory. The unit then returns to the
indication display that was last viewed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The majority of problems can be traced to improper connections or incorrect set-up parameters. Be sure all connections are clean and tight, that
the correct output board is fitted, and that the set-up parameters are correct. Also, be sure the DIP switch settings and the User Input Plug Jumper
position are correct for the particular application.
