1. General
The EMEC-12 is an egg-counter which makes it
possible, in combination with an egg-counter
computer, to count eggs on a conveyor belt. The
eggs do not need to be singulated or oriented in
any way, the sensor will accurately count side-by-
side eggs.
The EMEC-12 uses infrared light to detect the
eggs on the conveyor. For every detected egg, an
electronic pulse is generated. The EMEC-12 is
also provided with a CAN-bus, through which the
information is sent.
The EMEC-12 works with an accuracy of minimal
99,5%. The accuracy of the EMEC-12 strongly
depends on the mounting.

The eggs do not need to be singulated or oriented in any way, the sensor will accurately count side-by- side eggs.
- Page 2 3. Installation on a conveyor In order to achieve the best accuracy, the egg-counter should be mounted at a place where the eggs are not rolling or shifting on the conveyor. Also, some conveyors move backwards after the drive motor turns off. The egg-counter will count eggs moving in either direction, causing an overcount if the conveyor moves backwards significantly.
- Page 3 (switched off), no eggs are counted (LED is orange). If the standby-input is not being used (not connected), the counter is ready for counting eggs. However, this could affect the accuracy. When using the EMEC-12 in combination with ORION ROW 1 ROW 2...
- Page 4 Sometimes the system on which the egg counters are installed has a different earthing than the panel. As a result the CAN-Bus communication can be disturbed. In the worst case one or more involved circuit boards can be damaged. To prevent this, connect the panel and the system with the egg counters to each other by means of a litzwire.
