Note the following: WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage, installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any problems.
SITRANS WW310 comes with an integrated weigh bridge and a speed sensor. An integrator and test weights are required to complete the system. Note The SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder product is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual. Note For industrial use only This product is intended for use in industrial areas.
WARNING Always follow established safe operating practices when working on or around the SITRANS WW310, especially in wet environments and when adjacent to conductive steel mounting framework. Note A weighfeeder can be dangerous. Pinch points exist along the conveyor belt line.

Totally enclosed three phase AC inverter duty rated motor with hollow bore shaft mounted gear reducer Shipping Weight 410 kg (900 lbs) minimum Approvals For use in hazardous rated areas, consult with factory. Note that only electrical components are rated and entire weighfeeder is not. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
Adding the samples provides total throughput weight of product across the scale. With proper scaling and calibration, the total weight can be displayed in kilograms, pounds, short tons, long tons, metric tons, or other appropriate units. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
Mechanical installation Note When lifting the SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder, connect to the lifting points at the legs of the unit, and follow local governing code for lifting/hoisting. Perform a thorough and systematic inspection of containers immediately upon receipt of your Siemens weighfeeder.
Securely fasten the unit to the rigid, level structure constructed in Step 1 (Page 14). Use a level for verification and shim as necessary. Prevent any twisting of the frame that may affect weighfeeder performance. Note The inlet and discharge of the weighfeeder will not support load.

Remove only the tagged shipping bolt that is attached to the load cell. This bolt supports the weighbridge during transport and installation. Note DO NOT loosen or tighten the overload bolt—it has been factory set to minimize the possibility of load cell damage resulting from incidental overload.

Step 9 Before starting the weighfeeder, make a final check to see that the conveyor belt is free of all tools and foreign objects, and that the infeed/skirtboards are not pinching against the belt. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
Material tests are recommended to achieve maximum accuracy. Test load The test load value for your SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder is given on the accompanying test sheet. To calculate the test load or to change it, refer to the integrator instruction manual.
Shear gate The shear gate on the inlet of the weighfeeder needs to be set to allow the maximum feedrate capacity required. Consult your Siemens representative if feed rate changes are required. Skirtboards The skirtboards have been factory set to proper specifications. Note that near the inlet, the skirtboards are very close to the belt.
From the access side of the feeder at the discharge end, grab the edge of the belt and gently pull it over the side rail, making sure that the leading edge of the belt does not catch on any components. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
Specific belt tension cannot be given because the weighfeeder could be mounted in various applications. As a general guideline, the bottom of the belt should droop 1-2 inches over the SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
2. Loosen the jam nut. 3. Turn the adjusting screw in the desired direction. Often, only a small amount of adjustment (1 turn or less) will be required. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...

5. Re-tighten the jam nut located on the telescoper to maintain the new telescoper position after completing the tracking procedure. 6. If you are having problems tracking the belt, consult your Siemens representative. Common causes of belt tracking problems are: uneven or improperly distributed product loading, twisted frame, or product build-up on head or tail pulleys.
If a load cell on SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder has been damaged and is not functioning, or if you are changing the capacity, you will need to replace one or all load cells.

Be careful not to move the idler as it is still attached to the load cell on the other side of the weighfeeder. Step 4 Remove the two bottom load cell mount bolts. Step 5 Remove the load cell off the feeder. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
Route the load cell cable to the junction box, and connect the load cell according to the supplied interwiring diagram. Repeat for other load cells if necessary Step 6 Perform a load cell balancing procedure as described in the integrator instruction manual.

Step 2 (Page 31). Step 5 Confirm calibration with material test as described in the integrator manual, if possible, before placing the feeder back in operation. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
(Page 13). Verify that the belt is tracking and the shear gate (if used) is properly set. 2. Verify that the weighfeeder, integrator/controller, and variable speed drive (AC or DC, if present) are all properly wired. 3. Refer to the supplied integrator/controller information for calibration and configuration information. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
Note If you have difficulty determining the cause of the problem, contact your Siemens representative. Be sure to have the Model Number and Serial Number of your system and all of the calibration and setup parameters available before calling 9.1.1...

Subsequent oil changes should be done every 2500 hours. See the gear reducer manual provided for further details. If there is a gear motor (motor and reducer all in one housing) supplied with your unit, it is permanently lubricated. No lubrication is necessary. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
Reduce belt tension to a minimum to prevent belt damage and re-adjust belt tension at re- installation. Note Do NOT store the weighfeeder in direct sunlight, as this will cause premature breakdown of the belt. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
