Unknown Sprocket Size Calibration Procedure

Note
Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. © Form 40256-0600
Use this procedure to calibrate standard conveyors with a 1.5-inch
pitch, but you don't know the number of teeth on the sprocket
directly contacting the underside of the main production transport
chain. This procedure initially estimates the number of sprocket
teeth, and then allows you to fine tune.
1. Press Key 5 until SYSTEM DISPLAY appears and then press
the Arrow Key to enter the Calibrate Mode. You may be
required to enter a password if your system is password
protected.
2. Press Key 4 until REJECTOR STATUS appears and check to be
sure the rejector is activated. If it is turned off, press the Arrow
Key to turn it on.
3. Open dip switch S1-5.
4. Press Key 5 until REJECTOR TYPE appears and use the Arrow
Key to select the type of rejector installed in your system.
5. Press Key 5 until KNOWN CHAIN PITCH & TEETH appears
and set to PRESENT.
6. Press Key 5 until ENCODER RESOLUTION appears and enter
the encoder resolution. The standard encoder is 500 pulse. The
following table lists the encoders and the supported resolution.
The encoder resolution is set at the factory during assembly,
however if you upgraded the software you should check the
encoder type and set it properly.

beam. This is the containers can width at the trigger point.
