2 –Pump 18-Station Controllers Chapter 4: Operation 27 of 44
Starting and Stopping the System
WARNING! In an emergency, you can use the power switch on the front of the controller cabinet if
a password is required to stop the system and you do not know the password.
Note: Normally, all the stations and pumps you want to use should be enabled before you
start the system. When the system is stopped, icons for enabled stations and pumps
have the word READY at the top of their icons. Enabling stations and pumps is
described on p. 26.
A button to start and stop the system is located in the lower right of the “Station Status” and
“Pump Status” screens. When the system is off, the button reads START SYSTEM. When
the system is on, the button reads STOP SYSTEM. Depending on the setup at your facility,
the system may prompt you for a password when you touch this button.
Note: If conveying does not begin when you start the system, check to make sure that all
needed pumps are enabled. If they are, check that all needed stations are enabled.
Reviewing and Adjusting Basic Station Settings
The 2-pump, 18-station controller has a “Station Operator” screen for each station, as shown
below. This screen enables you to review and adjust all basic settings for the station.
To reach the “Station Operator” screen, complete the following steps:
1. Go to the “Station Status” screen. To reach this screen, touch the STATION
STATUS button in the Main Menu.
2. Touch and hold the icon for the station, until the controller either prompts for the
password or displays the “Station Operator” screen. Once you have entered the
password (if needed), the “Station Operator” screen appears.
Figure 16: “Station Operator” Screen
Buttons in white in the lower half of the screen are settings that you can adjust. Boxes in
black are for display only. If a pump assignment or purge time can be changed from the
operator screen, this must be done at the “Station Setup” screen. From this screen, you can
also adjust the settings for the other stations by touching the PREV or NEXT buttons.
