    Adjusting the Checkweigher Important Note: In addition to the usual tools, a 1-meter spirit level is required for adjusting the check- weigher. § Loosen the locknuts on the leveling feet (1). § Extend or retract the leveling feet until the level indicator on the weighing platform of the checkweigher indicates a level position.
  • Page 9: Changing The Conveyor Direction

    Changing the Conveyor Direction You can change the direction of conveyance by turning the entire checkweigher around (i.e., the checkweigher with frame; models WM35, 60 and 120). Only one direction of conveyance is possible for checkweigher model WM6. § Install the checkweigher without its support trestle to have it facing in the desired direc- tion.
  • Page 10: Getting Started

    Getting Started Connecting the Equipment to AC Power Danger! Before connecting the equipment to power, make sure the power cords are not live. The main switch must be in the “OFF” or “0” position. Installation For the electrical connection to the power supply, a feeder with a cross section of 3 + 1.5 mm is required.
  • Page 11 § Connect power supply cables in accordance with industry standards. Connect the black wire (L1; live) to terminal (1) Connect the blue wire (N; neutral) to terminal (2) Connect the green/yellow wire (PE; protective earth; grounding conductor) to the grounding terminal (screw) Refer to the wiring diagram for terminal assignments.
  • Page 12: Serial Data Interface

  • Page 14: Inspection And Adjustment Following Initial Power-Up

    Inspection and Adjustment following Initial Power-up The conveyor belt may have to be adjusted. It is important that this belt remain centered while the equipment is running. A conveyor belt tends to center itself at the point of highest tension. Due to the convexity of the drive roller, this point is the middle of the conveyor unit.
  • Page 15 Determining Weight Values (Inspection and Adjustment) You can check the accuracy of weighing either statically (with the equipment at a stand- still) or dynamically (with the conveyor belt running). In either case, the checkweigher must be zeroed and calibrated/adjusted by pressing the “Zero/tare” key (=) before you begin.
  • Page 16: Determining Weight Values

    Determining Weight Values (The following description refers to the illustrations on the left.) The product approaches the measurement (weighing) section of the conveyor system. The product is detected on the conveyor belt. The weight value increases from “0” to “G” on the checkweigher display. The product now rests entirely on the conveyor belt.
