Auto Purge
You can set up the system to automatically purge after it has been idle for a specied period of time. When the
system purges, the tip moves to the park position and purges material according to the parameters set for Auto
Purge. This command is useful for two-part materials that have a very short pot life.
The Auto Purge function is set for the current program. Auto Purge is turned off by default (Wait Time and Purge
Time are both set to 0). Enter non-zero values to enable this feature. Auto Purge is in effect when the system is in the
Run Mode.
