vated to initiate a fill cycle. Press RECYCLE CONTROL to select as On or Off. Indicator
appears Green when On or Red when Off.
3. If using recycling (an On) setting, press the adjacent time selection to determine time period
between fills.

Setting Up Fill Type nd Auger Revolutions/Fill Time
The odel B-350Touch can control filling by either direct counting and control of auger revolu-
tions, via signals from the shaft-mounted optical encoder, or by control of filling duration, via an
internal clock. Filling by revolutions is the primary (and most accurate) method of controlling fill-
ing. The Fill By Time selection is available as a backup mode to allow production to continue in
case of encoder failure, problems, replacement, etc. Use the following procedure to specify these
settings at the B-350Touch controller
1. From any other screen, press BACK and MAIN to display the ain screen. Press the Auger
