Multicycle
The monitor display of Labrie’s multiplex system is user-friendly. Say you want to change the
multicycle settings of the packer. All you have to do is select
MENU from the Main Page by pressing
the corresponding button at the bottom left corner of the monitor display. From the displayed menu,
choose the option
SELECT THE NUMBER OF CYCLES. If need be, use the arrow to choose that option
and press “OK”. The multicycle settings can be changed from 2 to 8 cycles. Choose the desired
number of cycles and press “OK”. It could not be easier!

NOTE: The packer multicycle function has been preset at the factory to carry out 3 cycles after every
cart dumped.
When the
MULTICYCLE switch on the control panel is on and the packer is activated, the packer will
move according to the default number of cycles (that is 3) or to the number of cycles you chose (up
to 8 cycles).
