LOADING AND DOWNLOADING PRODUCTS
1 Loading
The feeder may be loaded with products in two different
ways. The firs one is loading the feeder through flaps,
the second one is loading with a scheme, and in this
case a product is matched with a certain level of the
feeder.
In order to have access to the loading function,
in the user's account you must set his type to
either LOADER or SERVICEMAN.
Available ways of loading the feeder are in the menu of
loading showed below:
1.1 Loading through flaps
In the mode of loading thorough flaps, it is not
necessary to open the machine. Products are loaded
through sliding flaps unlocked automatically for empty
product cells. To start loading through the flaps, choose
this mode in the menu of loading.
Before starting to load, make sure that the door of the
machine and the sliding flaps are closed, otherwise there
will appear appropriate information on the screen.
On the screen there will appear the menu showed in the
further part of this chapter. At the top you can see
information about the product which is currently being
loaded. To change the loaded product, press the button,
either the left or the right one which is at the height of
the data about the product, and select the one which is to
be loaded. The device automatically unlocks these
sliding flaps, for which the product cells are empty. The
LED diode, which is on the left, informs about the state
of the flap lock. The red color means the flap is locked,
and the green color means the flap is unlocked and
ready for loading, the orange color means the flap is
unlocked, open but treated as loaded.
The user may open unlocked flaps and load the cells
with a chosen product. If all empty cells are loaded or
there are no more empty cells of the needed dimensions,
the user may turn the feeder selecting he button NEXT
FREE COLUMN in the menu. The device will prepare
the first available column in which there is at least one
empty cell.
If the function DELETEOPENINGS is used, but you do
not want to delete all the openings, leave such flaps
open in the moment of pressing DELETE OPENINGS.
If the user opens the flap, but does not have a product
which could be put in the empty cell, it is possible to
delete the information about the flap opening and
product loading. In this case, select the button DELETE
OPENINGS, the closed flaps, which were opened
before, will be treated s unloaded and the orange diode
will become green.
The user can change the loading product any time. In
case of loading a few kinds of products, the sequence of
loading described above should be carried out for each
product separately.
1.2 Loading according to the loading scheme
Loading according to the loading scheme means loading
the drum with products matched with certain levels
through the open door. To do it, open the machine in
order to have a direct access to the feeder.
To have an access to the whole loading space in the
feeder, you must turn it manually or in the semi-
automatic mode. The manual turning of the feeder is
possible after unlocking the drum brake as it is
described in the chapter: First start-up. Semi-automatic
turning of the drum is carried out with the use of the
switch left-right which is inside the device in its lower
part. To activate this function, pull the moveable
element of the door sensor.
Products should be loaded according to the loading
scheme, whose setting is described in the chapter:
Configuration of the feeder in the user's panel/
matching the product. Products are to be loaded from
the position 1 upwards. If a certain level is not fully
loaded, leave empty space in the last partitions of the
level. It is not necessary to load all the levels available
If ,for any reason, we do not add products on a certain
level, do not replace them so that the empty space is at
the end of the loading space of the level.
in the loading scheme.
After product loading to the feeder is finished, enter the
current number of products on every completed level.
To do it, use the screen accessible after selecting the
option ENTER THE LOADED NUMBER in the menu
of loading. On this screen there will appear all levels
with the set loading scheme as it is shown below:
