Ecal Factor; Numeric Data; Belt Length; Pulses/Belt Rev 1 - MERRICK Genetix Safety, Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Once the test is complete, and accepted, a change is made to the Test Chain value; it
does not change the calibration of the feeder. Once the new Test Chain value is
stored it is used for all future Chain Procedures.

ECal Factor

(Main Menu > Calibration > ECal Factor)
This procedure will calculate and store a new ECal Value (see Main Menu >
Calibration > Numeric Data > ECal Value) and should only be performed after an
accurate Material Test (see Main Menu > Calibration > Material Test) or Chain
Procedure (see Main Menu > Calibration > Chain Procedure). Once the test is
complete, and accepted, a change is made to the ECal Value; it does not change the
calibration of the feeder.
It is performed exactly like an ECal Procedure. The feeder does not need to be
running.

Numeric Data

(Main Menu > Calibration > Numeric Data)
In this menu you will find the following parameters that relate to the Calibration
procedures. Most of these parameters must be correctly set before any Calibration
procedures are performed.

Belt Length

(Main Menu > Calibration > Numeric Data)
Before the Calibration procedures can be performed correctly, the feeder belt must
be measured accurately and the length entered here. This length should be
measured to the nearest 1/8 inch (3mm), and entered in the units of length.

Pulses/Belt Rev 1

(Main Menu > Calibration > Numeric Data)
This is the number of pulses emitted by Tacho 1 for one revolution of the feeder
belt. It can be estimated depending on the length of the belt, type of tacho,
diameter of the pulley, etc. However, it will be accurately determined by the
Genetix controller during a Speed Span procedure (see Calibration > Speed
Span). You do not have to make an accurate calculation of this parameter and
enter it, but you may refer to it here.
Pulses/Belt Rev 2
(Main Menu > Calibration > Numeric Data)
Note: This parameter will only appear in this menu if Tacho 2 is enabled (see
Advanced Set-up > Configuration)
This is the number of pulses emitted by Tacho 2 for one revolution of the feeder
belt. It can be estimated depending on the length of the belt, type of tacho,
