Two Operation Modes are available:

1. Operator Menu-Driven Mode:

The operator keys the requested chemical or recipe and the destination. When the start key is pressed, a dispense cycle starts. When completed, the controller will prompt the operator to key in the next dispense.

2. Supervisory PC Computer Integrated Mode:

The dispenser is part of the integrated dye house control. Based on the preparation step in the currently processed batch, the central computer sends the required chemicals and quantities to the dispenser controller. The central computer maintains a queue of the dispenses required by the machines at any given time. When the dispenser controller confirms that dispense to a specific machine is completed, the next required dispense will be sent from the central computer.
