Overview
Accu-Change
Flavor Change Over
The accu-change™ fast flavor change-over option can significantly reduce operating cost. This capability
will add more productive uptime to line operation and boost output. It allows line personnel to execute a 5
to 7 minute change-over with ease. This translates to fewer overtime shifts and reduced operating costs.
It also provides greater short-run flexibility, permitting you to run more products over the course of a day.
In operation, the accu-change™ system coordinates the entire change-over process. At end-of-run, all
syrup is transferred to the blender. The amount of product that can be made is calculated and converted
to empty containers required. This information is transmitted to the depalletizer operator who sends the
required sweeps to the line. No product or containers are wasted. The syrup line, blender, and filler are
concurrently rapid-rinsed and dried for the next product.
In operation, the Operator selects desired recipe from touch screen, which loads target brix and CO2
settings. Operator then pushes START button which rinses and dries system. Concurrently, separate
routines rinse and dry syrup line and filler. When both operations are completed, the syrup cut-off tank
fills, and blending begins. Precision flow meters measure actual syrup, water and CO2 flow-rates. PLC
logic compares actual flow rates against target flow rates and adjusts the syrup pump speed and the CO2
control valve to maintain target flow rates. Initial settings are automatically adjusted to compensate for
residual water and provide a no-dump start. At end of run, gas pushes all syrup from syrup line into the
syrup cut-off tank. When syrup level reaches low point in the cut-off tank, water is added to tank to push
in-spec product to carbonator tank. When carbonator empties, the entire system is rinsed and prepared
for next flavor.
Accu-Change
Timeline
In order to provide the fastest flavor change over possible the system is partitioned into modules that
allow concurrent operations. The timeline above illustrates the accu-change flavor change sequences
for each module. Each module is identified on the left, while each machine function timing and length is
shown on grid in increments of 5 seconds. The total Filler down time is shown at the bottom in black.
Reviewing the timeline one can observe the benefit of partitioning the system into modules, while
producing the benefit of concurrent machine functions, that save change over time.
Accu-change
Illustration
The following pages illustrate an accu-change flavor change over each machine function is illustrated and
also described in the upper right hand machine status box.
The change over starts when the syrup in the syrup line is pushed into the Syrup Reservoir with a CO2
gas purge.
After the syrup in the syrup line is purged into the Syrup Reservoir the container stop at the filler is
automatically pulled in to pack the empty side to a known container count. Concurrently the syrup line is
rinsed and drained.
Once the operator confirms that the empty is packed, the container stop is opened allowing containers to
be filled again, and the system calculates the number of sweeps required at the depalletizer to place the
entire volume of product in the system into containers, and notifies the depalletizer operator.
As the system runs out the Syrup Reservoir, the syrup line is prepared for the next production.
The Syrup Reservoir is still running out the syrup, and the syrup line is ready for the next production run.
When the level in the Syrup Reservoir reaches bottom of the vessel, water is used to push the remaining
syrup through the syrup mass flow meter. At the end of the Syrup Run Out water push a Mix Line Run
Out pushes all the product in the Mix Line into the Product Tank with water, and a Syrup Reservoir Rinse
starts.
When the Mix Line Run Out finishes, the Product Tank Run Out will provide the filler with product at
pressure. Concurrently the Syrup Reservoir is drained and the Mix Line is rinsed in preparation of next
production.
The Syrup reservoir is primed concurrently, while the Mix Line is rinsed and drained.
The Mix Line is drained concurrently during a Syrup Reservoir Prime and a Product Tank Run Out.
The Syrup Reservoir has finished priming, the Mix Line drain and Product Tank Run Out continue.
After the Mix Line Drain, a Mix Line Prime is initiated by the system to pack the Mix Line with product for
the next production run. Concurrently the Product Tank Run Out continues with the current production
run.
When the level of product in the Product Tank reaches bottom of the tank, a Filler Run Out is initiated by
the system. At the same time a Product Tank is rinsed and drained. The Filler Run Out uses the
remaining product in the Filler Bowl to fill the remaining containers.
When the entire volume product in the Filler Bowl has been consumed, the operator acknowledges the
end of production, and the system initiates draining of the Filler. Concurrently the Product Tank is
draining. No containers are filled, thus down time starts to be recorded.
After the initially draining the Filler, the Filler Bowl is rinsed with it’s own water supply and drained in
preparation of the next production. Concurrently the Product Tank Prime fills the Product Tank with
product for the next production run.
Product is ready in the Product Tank. The Filler is finishing draining itself.
Before bringing product into the Filler, the Filler Bowl must be pressurized. This is done automatically by a
Filler Charge function.
After the Filler Charge pressurizes the Filler Bowl, the system will automatically initiate a Filler Prime,
which will gently bring the product into the filler bowl in order to minimize product disturbance.
After the Filler Prime has brought the product into the Filler Bowl, the container stop is opened and
production starts again.
Screens
Screen Navigation
The machine is equipped with a touch screen as a main operator interface. The only pushbuttons in the
machine operating area are an E-Stop pushbutton and a Reset pushbutton. All adjustments to the system
and screen navigation are made through the touch screen operator interface by using your finger.
On the screens there are different styles of buttons, that are described below. Each has a special
purpose.
Rectangular buttons with text within, and a colored rectangular indicator on top, are
Machine Command Buttons. When these buttons are pressed a Machine Function
is initiated. Care should always be taken when pressing a Machine Command
Button. The colored rectangular bar on the top of the button indicates the state of
the Machine Function.
Red means the machine Function is inactive. Yellow means that the Machine
Function is waiting on some condition to be satisfied before, the function will start.
Green means that the Machine Function is active and running.
A Screen Navigation Button with a graphic of a house within, will always change
the screen to the Home Screen.
Indicators
Colors are used on the screens to indicate the state of valves and pumps, and machine functions. The
table below shows the different colors used on the screens and their meanings.
Color Meaning

On many screens you will see a one or more Module Status Bars. Below is a Module Status Indicator for
the Syrup Reservoir Module. There are Module Status Indicators for the Syrup Room, Syrup Port,
Blender, Mix Line, Product Tank, and Filler. The purpose of the Module Status Indicator is to convey to
the operator what the system is doing, and perhaps what the system is waiting for before it can proceed
to the next step.
Progress Bar
The three elements of a Module Status Indicator are described in the table below.

AUTO When the AUTO function is enabled, the system will automatically sequence
through the change over process without operator intervention.
BLEND The BLEND function, requests syrup from the Active Syrup Port, requests
water from the deaerator, proportions water, syrup and gas, controls the
Product Tank Pressure, and provides product to the filler.
BLEND PAUSE The BLEND PAUSE function halts the BLEND function.
END OF DAY The END OF DAY function provides a means to stop the system at the end
of the production day. It kills every other running function.
FILLER BLOW The FILLER BLOW function removes the residual water from the filler, by
using a gas blow from the bottom of the filler. This automated function opens
drain valves and the filling valves in a sequence.
FILLER CHARGE The FILLER CHARGE function pressurizes the filler bowl in preparation to
receive product. Having the filler bowl pressurized as product first enters the
filler, minimizes the velocity in which the product enters the filler, thus
minimizing the change of carbonation to the product.
FILLER COLD The FILLER COLD RINSE function provides cold water to the filler. Water
RINSE pumped from the deaerator through the Product Chiller and Product Tank,
and then delivered to the filler.
FILLER DRAIN The FILLER DRAIN function removes product from the in preparation for a
FILLER RINSE. The product is removed by opening the filling valves and the
Filler Drain Valve.
FILLER PRIME The FILLER PRIME function provides a means to bring the product into the
filler after a FILLER CHARGE. The function opens the Product Tank Outlet
Valve (Filler Inlet Valve) and monitors the level probes on the filler line. At the
end of the FILLER PRIME the Container Stop is released.
FILLER RINSE The FILLER RINSE function uses treated water to flush the filler, after a
flavor change. The Filler Rinse Valve injects water directly into the filler line,
where it moves through the filler line up into the filler bowl. The filling valves
are automatically opened.
FILLER RUNOUT The FILLER RUNOUT function maintains the filler in a state in which it can
deliver the remaining useable product in the filler bowl to containers. The
FILLER RUNPOUT is initiated after a PRODUCT TANK RUNOUT. The
Product Tank Outlet (Filler Inlet) valve is closed, thus the only product that
remains is in the filler bowl.
MIX LINE PRIME The MIX LINE PRIME function packs the Mix Line with product. This is done
in preparation to then move product into the product tank. During a MIX LINE
PRIME, a drain at the top end of the Mix Line is opened, product is then
proportioned for a volume that equals the volume of the Mix Line.
MIX LINE RINSE The MIX LINE RINSE function flushes the Mix Line with water from the
Deaerator, the water is pushed out a drain at the top end of the Mix line.
MIX LINE RUNOUT The MIX LINE RUNOUT function pushes the contents of the Mix Line into the
Product Tank. A volume of water from the Deaerator, equal to the volume of
the Mix Line, is used to push the remaining product in the Mix Line into the
Product Tank.
PRODUCT TANK The PRODUCT TANK DRAIN function removes the left over rinse water from
DRAIN the Product Tank during a flavor change over. Pressure is maintained on the
Product Tank while drain valves are opened at the bottom. The Product Tank
Empty probe is used to determine that the Product Tank is empty.
PRODUCT TANK The PRODUCT TANK PRESSURE function maintains pressure in the
PRESSURE Product Tank at the Product Tank Pressure Target. While monitoring the gas
pressure via the Product Tank Pressure Transducer, the Product Tank Gas
Supply Control Valve is used to supply gas to the Product Tank and the
Product Tank Pressure Relief Valve is used to exhaust the gas from the
Product Tank. The two valves work in opposition to maintain the pressure
target setpoint.
PRODUCT TANK The PRODUCT TANK PRIME function is used to bring product into the
PRIME product tank for the first time after a flavor change over. The function controls
the target pressure for the product tank as the Product Tank is filled with
product. The function runs for a finite volume of product. During the
execution of the function the Target Product Tank Pressure is first set to
Initial Product Tank Pressure Recipe Item value and then ramped up to the
Product Tank Pressure Recipe Item value as the volume of product enters
the product tank. The function is completed once the finite volume of product
enters the Product Tank.
PRODUCT TANK The PRODUCT TANK RINSE function flushes the Product Tank with water
RINSE from the Dearator. Pressure is maintained to the Product Tank and when the
Product Tank Empty probe indicates the presence of water. The Product
Tank Drain opens, thus draining the water to the floor. This function runs for
a finite volume of water. The function terminates upon meeting the water
volume requirements for the rinse.
PRODUCT TANK The PRODUCT TANK RUNOUT function is used to provide the filler with the
RUNOUT remaining product in the product tank during a flavor change over. The
PRODUCT TANK RUNOUT is initiated after a MIX LINE RUNOUT. During a
PRODUCT TANK RUNOUT, pressure is maintained on the Product Tank
and the Product Outlet Valve is left open until the Product Tank Empty Probe
indicates the absence of product, which then the function is terminated.
RUN OUT START The RUNOUT START function initiates a flavor change over. The function
checks the system to confirm that a flavor change is possible and then
initiates a SYRUP RUNOUT.
STARTUP The STARTUP function initiates a sequence of functions which prepare the
system for production. When the STARTUP function begins, it confirms that
the Product Tank and the Syrup Reservoir are empty. If the tanks are not
empty the STARTUP function stops, and the operator must first drain the
tanks before attempting the STARTUP again. When the confirmation
indicates that the tanks are empty, then the function initiates a SYRUP
RESERVOIR RINSE, MIX LINE RINSE, PRODUCT TANK RINSE and a
FILLER RINSE.
SYRUP RESV The SYRUP RESERVOIR DRAIN function empties the contents of the Syrup
DRAIN Reservoir to the floor.
SYRUP RESV The SYRUP RESERVOIR PRIME function is used to fill the Syrup Reservoir
PRIME with syrup and recirculate the syrup through the mass flow meter in
preparation for blending. The function opens the Active Syrup Port to deliver
the syrup to the Syrup Reservoir, fills the Syrup Reservoir until the level
reaches above the recirculation pipe inlet, and then uses the syrup to push
the contents (usually water) of the Syrup Mass Meter to drain. When the
Syrup Meter contents is purged the drain is closed and the recirculation valve
opens in order to recirculate the syrup through the Syrup Reservoir and the
Syrup Mass Meter.
SYRUP RESV The SYRUP RESERVOIR RINSE function flushes water from the Deaerator
RINSE through the Syrup Reservoir, in order to remove the residual previous flavor
syrup and/ or CIP solution.
SYRUP RESV The SYRUP RESERVOIR RUNOUT function is used to delivery terminate
RUNOUT the delivery of syrup to the Syrup Reservoir and blend the remaining syrup
into the Product Tank. When the Syrup Reservoir syrup level reaches the
bottom of the Syrup Reservoir, the remaining syrup is pushed through the
Syrrup Mass Flow Meter with water from the Syrup Reservoir CIP Spray
Valve.
The Machine Screen provides the operator the ability to initiate the machine functions.

SYRUP LINE The DIRECT LINE PRIME function is used to prepare the Syrup Line for
PRIME production by packing the Syrup Line with syrup. The function opens a path
through the Syrup Line to drain, in order provide a pressure relief for the
syrup brought into the Syrup Line in the syrup room. This function is timed,
and will stop after running approximately 5 seconds.
SYRUP LINE The DIRECT LINE READY function toggles the “READY” state of the Direct
READY Syrup Port
SYRUP LINE The DIRECT LINE RINSE function flushes the Direct syrup line with water, in
RINSE order to remove syrup and CIP residue. The source of the water is
automated by a valve behind the syrup room divert panel.
SYRUP LINE The SYRUP LINE PURGE function is used to push the syrup out of the
PURGE active Syrup Line. When this function is running the Syrup reservoir Level

Drain When green, this indicates that the Syrup Port is being drained.
Prime When green, this indicates that the Syrup Port is being primed.
The Syrup Port states “CONNECTED” and “READY” are set by the operator, as confirmation to the
Blender, as to the status of the Syrup Port. This redundancy is used to minimize the possibility of opening
the wrong Syrup Port through operator error. The following also applies.
• In order for the Syrup Inlet valve for the Syrup Port to open the Syrup Port must be
“CONNECTED” and be “READY”. The blender will wait until the Syrup Port is “CONNECTED”
and “READY” before it will start a Syrup Reservoir Prime, Mix Line Prime or Blending.
• The Syrup Port can only be Primed if the Syrup Port is “CONNECTED” and is “READY”.
• The Syrup Port cannot be Rinsed, Drained, or CIPed if the Syrup Port is “READY”. The logic in
the system software will inhibit this.
• The Syrup Port “CONNECTED” state is set to false during a Run Out. Therefore the Syrup Port
will require the “CONNECTED” state to be set to true again, when the Syrup Port is needed in the
future.

Parameter Description
Syrup Reservoir Volume at 100% This parameter is used to scale the Syrup Reservoir
Capacitance Probe analog input to the conversion to
volume (in liters). The value entered here should be the
volume of the Syrup reservoir when the reservoir is at
100%.
Syrup Reservoir Volume at 0% This parameter is used to scale the Syrup Reservoir
Capacitance Probe analog input to the conversion to
volume (in liters). The value entered here should be the
volume of the Syrup Reservoir when the reservoir is at 0%.
Analog In High Alarm This parameter is used as an upper threshold for a valid
analog input current reading in milliamps. If an analog input
rises above this valve, a Transducer Failure Alarm is
generated.
Analog In Low Alarm This parameter is used as an lower threshold for a valid
analog input current reading in milliamps. If an analog input
falls below this valve, a Transducer Failure Alarm is
generated.
Water Brix This parameter is used in the internal calculations the
system performs toward the determination of percent syrup
of a Non-Diet product dependent upon Recipe values of
Syrup Brix and Product Brix. This value should be the
apparent brix of the water used by the blending system.
Water TA/% This parameter is used in the internal calculations the
system performs toward the determination of percent syrup
on a Diet product dependent upon Recipe values of Syrup
Brix and Product Brix. This value should be the apparent TA
of the water used by the blending system.
Residual Water Mass This value is used in calculating the initial blend during the
initial blend of a product. Blending at a lower ratio during the
initial blend of a product corrects for the residual water left
after a rinse and drain of the system. The unit of this
parameter is in kilograms.
Blend Sweet Mass This value is used to determine the amount of mass of
product is blended at a lower blend ratio during the initial
blend of a product. Blending at a lower ratio corrects for the
residual water left after a rinse and drain of the system. The
unit of this parameter is in kilograms.
Metric Mass Display This parameter determines if the units of the mass display
values (flow rates and totals) are displayed in metric
(kilograms and gallons) or Imperial Units (pounds/min and
liters).
Metric Non-Mass Display This parameter determines if the units of the non-mass
display values (temperature and pressures ) are displayed
in metric (kilograms) or Imperial Units (pounds/min).
Auto Start Auto Brix This parameter determines if the Accu-Brix control algorithm
is started automatically when a new product starts up.
CIP Pressure This parameter provides the Setpoint for the Product Tank
Pressure during a CIP. Typical value is 0, for an
atmospheric tank CIP.
Accu-Temp Offset The parameter provides the value of the split across the
Product Chiller in degrees C. Typical for PHE is 1.0C and
for Carbo-Cooler is 3.0 C.
Vacuum Low This parameter determines the low threshold for the
Vacuum Pressure Low Warning
Vacuum Too Low This parameter determines the low threshold for the
Vacuum Pressure Low Alarm. Blending cannot continue
below this level.
The Maintenance Change Over Screen gives the operator the ability to adjust parameters pertaining to
the volumes metered during certain functions.
Step Action
1. Access the Maintenance Change Over Setup Screen by following the links below from the

Parameter Description
Syrup Line Volume This parameter provides the system information regarding
the amount of syrup volume is held in a packed sysrup line.
This value is used to determine the amount of syrup
available in the system.
Syrup Reservoir Push Volume This parameter provides the system with information
regarding the volume of syrup held in the syrup metering
line from the bottom of the Syrup Reservoir all the way up to
the Mix Line. The value is used during a Syrup Reservoir
Runout. When the level of the syrup reaches the bottom of
the Syrup Reservoir, the Syrup is metered until the volume
metered reaches this value.
Mix Line Prime Volume This parameter provides the system with information
regarding the volume of the Mix Line Prime. During a Mix
Line Prime, the amount of liquid (rinse water) is metered to
drain, exceeds this value; the product is then diverted into
the Product Tank afterwards.
Mix Line Runout Push Volume This parameter provides the system with information
regarding the volume of the Mix Line for the Mix Line
Runout. During a Mix Line Runout, the amount of product
that is pushed with water into the Product Tank is metered.
When the amount of metered water exceeds this value, the
Mix Line Runout is terminated.
Product Tank Volume This parameter provides the system with the volume of the
Product Tank in liters when the Product Tank capacitance
probe reads 100%.
Filler and Line Volume This parameter provides the system with information
regarding the volume of the Filler and Filler Line, during
normal product operation. This value is used in determining
the container cutoff value.
Syrup Reservoir Rinse Volume This parameter is used by the system to determine the
amount rinse water volume should be metered during a
Syrup Reservoir Rinse.
Syrup Reservoir Prime Drain This parameter provides the system with information
pertaining to the amount of rinse water to meter to drain,
before a recirculation is initiated during a Syrup Reservoir
Prime. This value should be the volume of the syrup meter
line from the bottom of the Syrup Reservoir to the Syrup
Meter Drain.

Recipes
A Recipe is a list of variables used by the blender to formulate the ingredients for the correct end product.
The system allows up to 100 different recipes to be developed. A Typical recipe displayed by the Recipe
Viewer is shown below.
Recipe Items
Each Recipe Item has it’s own description with an associated value, The definition of each Recipe Items
is described below.
Product Temperature This is the Target Product Temperature for delivery to the filler,.
This number is used as a Setpoint to control the Product
Temperature with the Accu-Temp option, otherwise it is used only
for reference.
Product Temperature Maximum This value determines the Product Temperature threshold for
alarming, that the Product Temperature is high, which therefore
indicates to the operator to review the temperature control
hardware for problems.
Product Flow Rate (cpm) This is the Target Product Flow rate in containers per minute. The
blender will proportion product at this rate.
Pungifity
Tank Pressure This is the target operating pressure for this flavor.
Initial Tank Pressure This is the intial pressure, when the Product Tank is first being
filled with product, during a Product Tank Prime. This value is
typically less than the Tank Pressure value in order to minimize
any saturated gas pickup while filling the Product Tank for the
first time. As product continues entering the Product Tank during
a Product Tank Prime the Target Product Tank Pressure Setpoint
is ramped from the Initial Tank Pressure value to the Tank
Pressure value. Typically the Intial tank Pressure value is 10 to
15 psi less than the Tank Pressure value.
Gas Injector This is the Target Gas Volumes for the Gas Injector.
Initial Gas Injector This is the Target Gas Volumes for the Gas Injector during a
Product Tank Prime. This value is typically less than the Gas
Injector value in order to minimize any saturated gas pickup while
filling the Product Tank for the first time.
Injector Factor This number determines the Gas Injection efficiency for this flavor
based on 1.95g/ liter / volume. This number is typically in the
range of 1.0 to 1.1 for DIET beverages and 0.85 to 1.0 for Non
DIET beverages.
Saturator Factor This number specifies the efficiency of the Product Tank as a
Saturator, and determines the amount of gas volume pickup
during normal operating conditions. Typical values for a
Satuarator only system is 0.6. Typical values for a Gas Injector
only system is 0.03.
Diet Beverage A value of YES means this beverage is a DIET beverage. A value
of NO means this is not a DIET beverage (it is a sweet drink).
Refrigeration Required A value of YES, specifies that refrigeration is required during
production of this beverage, and that refrigeration will be
requested from the plant’s refrigeration system. A value of NO,
specifies that no refrigeration is required, and that refrigeration
will not be requested from the plant’s refrigeration system.
Nitrogen Required A value of YES, indicates that a Nitrogen is used as the gas
source, for Injection and Pressurizing the Product Tank. In this
Recipes are developed and modified using the Recipe Manager as described in this manual. Once the
recipe is satisfactorily developed, it can be selected for use. The current recipe that the system is using to
formulate the beverage is called the Active Recipe. The Active Recipe is essentially a copy of one of the
recipes developed by the Recipe Manager. Once a specific recipe has been selected and copied into the
Active Recipe, the values of the Recipe Items are used for blending.
Like the Active Recipe, the Next Recipe is a copy of one of the recipes developed by the Recipe
Manager, but to be used for the next flavor’s production run after a flavor change over. During an
automatic flavor change over, the Next Recipe is moved into the Active Recipe, and the Next Recipe then
is Empty. This feature allows the operator to pre-select the next flavor to be run, along with syrup port
selection, in order that no operator intervention is required during the actual change over.

Syrup Port
In many situations, syrup used for blending may come from multiple sources. The sources may have
automated valving, which controls the delivery of syrup into the blender. In order to minimize the possible
error of delivering the wrong syrup, the system provides a level of redundancy to prevent this.
There are two variables that determine which syrup port is to be used. One is the Syrup Port selection
called “Only Use Syrup Port” in the recipe itself, the other is an operator confirmed selection called Syrup
Port made when setting up the Next Recipe.
These are pointed out below, and must match. If these two values do not match an alarm fault will occur,
and no syrup will be delivered. One exception is, when the “Only Use Syrup Port” value is “Use Any Port”,
this allows any syrup port to be selected.

When changing the package, it becomes necessary to provide carbonated water to the filler. The table
below outlines the steps and screen links required to provide carbonated water to the filler. First a Filler
Cold Rinse is initiated to produce carbonated water in the to the filler. Once the Product Tank has
adequate level of water, the Filler Cold Rinse can be terminated, and a Product Tank Run Out can be
initiated to maintain Product Tank Pressure to push the carbonated water to the Filler. A Beverage
Request must come from the Filler in order for the Product Tank Run Out to open the Product Outlet
Valve.
Step Action
1. Take the system out of Auto.

Response
When too much water is present in the syrup, the density drops below the value of Syrup Density Low
parameter in the Recipe, and the “Low Syrup Density Alarm Fault” occurs.
1) The first decision that needs to be made is whether the syrup is good enough to blend, and
that it is not tainted in any way. A Qualified Operator should take a Syrup Brix measurement
of the current syrup in the Syrup Reservoir.
2) If the Syrup is OK to blend, then a Qualified Operator must edit the Syrup Density Low
parameter in the Active Recipe. The value should be changed to less than the currently
displayed Syrup Density on the Blender Graphic Screen.
3) Also, adjust the Syrup Brix parameter in the Active Recipe to match the value of the Syrup
Brix measurement taken in step 1.
4) Reset the alarm, and monitor the blending operation.
Response
You cannot blend foam. The meters will not measure it properly
1) Determine if your Syrup Reservoir indeed is full of foam.
2) If it is full of foam. You can terminate the Syrup Reservoir Runout and continue to the next
change over step, by going to the Runout Command Screen and press Syrup Reseroir
Runout Kill.
3) This will step the system to the next steps (Syrup Reservoir Rinse and Mix Line Runout)
Response
The Syrup Reservoir generates a High Syrup Reservoir Level Alarm Fault, when the High Point
probe on the Syrup Reservoir detects a liquid.
1) Before resetting the alarm, inquire why the alarm was generated and repair.
2) Reasons for failure
a. During a Syrup Line Runout someone did not disconnect the syrup source.
b. The High Point Probe was splashed with syrup during a blow from the syrup room
c. The Syrup Reservoir Level Capacitance probe failed.
3) You can resume blending by resetting the alarm fault and pressing the BLEND PAUSE
button on the Blender Graphic Screen to un-pause the blender.
4) If for some reason the level is too high, and you want the blender to run continuously without
it faulting, you can press and hold either the BLEND or BLEND PAUSE buttons on the
Blender Graphic Screen.

Appendix
INTRODUCTION
The FEC 12 electronic insert is a transmitter for capacitive level measurement. It converts
changes in capacitance resulting from changes in level into a capacitance-proportional impressed
current. In vessels with a uniform cross section, the level or quantity (volume) can be thus
displayed as a percentage of full level.
OPERATING ELEMENTS
A cover protects the operating elements of the FEC 12. Inserting a small screwdriver into a slit at
the edge can raise this. The inside of the cover has symbols printed on it that serves as a quick
operating manual.
SWITCHES
The left hand switch selects whether
the linearization is to be carried out
remotely with the hand held terminal
or locally with the FEC 12 operating
elements. If linearization at the FEC
12 is required, then one of two
linearization modes in the electronic
insert is activated (vertical vessel with
linear characteristics) at the right hand
switch.
PUSHBUTTONS
Calibration, locking and reset to
factory-set values are carried out at
the FEC 12 by using the four
pushbuttons.
BASIC OPERATION:
The pushbuttons marked with plus (+) increase current and those marked minus (-) decrease
current. Punching the pushbuttons produces a step-wise change. The smallest resolution
possible is 0.014mA. If the pushbutton is depressed continuously, then the current also changes
continuously until the pushbutton is released. The change begins slowly and gradually increases
in speed and so quickly passes through a wide range. Just before reaching the value required,
the pushbutton should be released and the procedure completed by punching the pushbutton for
fine resolution. If the value desired is overrun then correct for it by punching the pushbutton for
the other direction.
CALIBRATION
Use the left hand switch to select whether linearization is to be carried out at the electronic insert
or by the handheld terminal. If the left hand switch is moved to the right, then linearization is
carried out at the electronic insert. If the left hand switch is moved to the left, then linearization
must be carried out with the hand held terminal and the switch on the right remains inactive.
• Move the left hand switch to the right.
Select the type of linearization for local calibration using the right hand switch. When it is moved
to the left, then the level (output current) is proportional to volume, i.e., the cross-section of the
vessel should be constant over its entire length. When it is moved to the right, then linearization
is set for a horizontal cylinder, and the measured value supplied corresponds directly to a percent
of full volume.
• Move the right hand switch to the left.
With the vessel completely empty (0%), both pushbuttons on the left minus (-) and plus (+) are
depressed simultaneously in order to set the signal current to the 4mA lower value. The green
LED lights up to acknowledge that the setting has been accepted. Only when the green LED
goes out is the correct value of 4mA shown on the ammeter.
With the vessel full (just touching the high level probe), both pushbuttons on the right minus (-)
and plus (+) are depressed simultaneously in order to set the signal current to the 20mA higher
value. The green LED lights up to acknowledge that the setting has been accepted. Only when
the green LED goes out is the correct value of 20mA shown on the ammeter.
STEP by STEP
RTD Calibration
The RTD should be checked quarterly to maintain accuracy, using the verification procedure
below:
Step Action
7. Using a thermometer from the QC lab, measure the product temperature in degrees F.
8. Insert the temperature into the following equation to calculate the mA signal (mA = (16 *
deg.F / 250) + 4).
9. If the value calculated and the reading recorded from the ammeter are within +/- 0.128
mA, then the RTD is good.
RTD Calibration
Modem Set Up
1. Using the serial port on a computer, establish a connection with the modem.
