3–Pump 33-Station Controllers Chapter 4: Operation 35 of 51
Activating and Stopping Priority Convey for a Station
Note: Before activating priority convey, make sure that all other stations using the same
pump have adequate material in reserve to continue operation. No material will be
conveyed to these stations during priority convey.
If you want the controller to fill a specific station with material immediately, you can activate
“priority convey” for that station. When you do so, the controller temporarily dedicates the
station’s pump to it, ignoring demands from other stations assigned to that pump. Once the
chosen station is full, normal operation resumes.
You can also use this feature to give one station a “head start” by conveying a few loads to it
and then stopping the priority convey.
No more than one station for a given pump can be in “priority convey” at once. To activate
priority convey, complete the following steps:
1. Go to the “Station Operator” by touching and holding a station icon, or go to the
“Station Setup” screen.
2. Touch Priority Convey Activate. The button changes to Priority Convey Active
and blinks until the station’s demand has been satisfied (or you stop the priority
convey). The controller begins filling the chosen station only (after finishing any
conveying already in progress).
3. To stop a priority convey before the station is completely full, touch the blinking
Priority Convey Active button. The button changes to Priority Convey Activate
and stops blinking. The controller finishes the current convey, if any, and resumes
normal operation.
