RS4203 Manual Chapter 6 - Machine Operation

5. Following a successful start up,

the RUN screen appears on the

CTC touch screen of the user

interface panel (an example of the

RUN screen is shown at left). The

touch screen allows the operator

to select a running mode or to

change operating parameters.

The default mode on startup is the

automatic mode (AUTO mode). If

a single cycle is desired,

MANUAL mode must be selected

on the touch screen. (Refer to

Chapters 7 and 8 for details on

the touchscreen menus and

recipes.)

6. Place an appropriate length of soaked shirred casing onto the horn, and move it into the filling

position. If the casing is not pre-clipped, a clip or knot must be applied to the end of the casing

before filling can begin. If desired, the end-of-casing sensor may be attached to the end of the

casing nearest the horn rotor.

7. Set the operating parameters to the desired values, using the recipe screen. The new parameters

will not take effect until the SEND button on the recipe screen is pressed. Refer to Section 8.3 for

more information on using the recipe screen.

8. Press the CYCLE START (green) button on the user interface panel to begin operation. In the

AUTO mode, the stuffing and clipping cycle will automatically restart at the end of each clip cycle

until all of the casing has been used. In the MANUAL mode, the operating sequence will end with

the completion of each clip cycle, and the filling and clipping cycle must be started at the

beginning of each cycle by pressing CYCLE START. The machine is in the AUTO mode unless

MANUAL mode has been selected on the operator interface.

9. A piece per shirr counter may also be used instead of the end-of-casing sensor. In either case,

when the counter setting is reached or the end-of-casing lever is tripped, the RS4203AB

completes the clipping cycle.

10. The horn can now be reloaded with a new stick of soaked shirred casing. Move the horn into the

filling position, and repeat the sequence of operation.
