ADJUSTMENTS & SET UP
 
1. SELECT THE PULSE SETTING
Match the control's pulse mode to the feeder's
tuning:
A. For 60 pulse output - Set DIP switch (S1) to 60
on the circuit card.
B. For 30 pulse settings, see the "S1 Programming
Chart."
The MAX output trimpot can be adjusted to limit the
maximum vibration level of the vibratory feeder when
the Main Control Dial is fully turned up. When setting
up the MAX output of the feeder control, the output
wiring to feeder must be connected.
Jumper must be connected as shown on the wiring
diagram or on the ON/OFF Control Guide.
A. Power input should be OFF or disconnected.
B. Open cover to allow access to circuit card.
C. Adjust the MAX Output trimpot counter-
clockwise to its minimum setting.
D. Close the cover. Turn power ON (no output
should be present).
E. Rotate the MAIN CONTROL DIAL on front
cover clockwise to its highest setting.
F. Turn power OFF and adjust the MAX Output
trimpot up about 1/8 to a 1/4 turn. Close cover
and reapply power. Repeat step F until the
output to the feeder reaches its desired
maximum level.
OUTPUT LEVEL OF CONTROL
When the vibratory feeder is nearly empty, turn the
MAIN CONTROL DIAL to "1" and adjust the MIN
trimpot to just below the slowest speed that provides
the proper vibration.
be adjusted while the disconnect switch is OFF. The
MIN trimpot also serves as the "low speed" trimpot
for 2-speed operation. See "S1 Programming Chart"
for feature selection details.
The output power is controlled by the MAIN
CONTROL DIAL. It is a logarithmic-tapered power
out curve (non-linear) that spreads the power
broadly across the MAIN CONTROL DIAL The

maximum "Fine Control" over the output speed of
the vibratory feeder. When very precise
adjustment of the MAIN CONTROL DIAL is
needed, increase the MIN trimpot setting and/or
decrease the MAX trimpot setting.
5. SETTING THE SOFT-START
The start-up rate of the control output can be
adjusted to ramp up to the desired output level
instead of starting abruptly. Soft-start keeps parts
from falling off the tooling, reduces spring shock,
and hammering when the control turns ON. Turn
the SOFT Start trimpot clockwise for the gentlest
start (about a 6 sec. ramp up to full output). Turn
the trimpot fully counter-clockwise for no soft
start.
6. REMOTE OFF/ON CONTROL
A Run Jumper has been installed at the factory
as shown on the enclosed wiring diagram.
Remote OFF/ON operation of the control can be
configured to operate in one of the following
ways.
A. A low current switch such as a paddle
switch can replace the factory-installed Run
Jumper "J1." The "Run Contact" connects to
terminals 6 and 7. The contact must be able
to switch 5VDC and 2mA. The control will
run only when the contact is closed. Refer to
Section A of the OFF/ON CONTROL GUIDE.
B . Low Voltage DC can be used to turn the
control ON and OFF. Move jumper "J1" from
terminal 7, to terminal 5, (6 remains the
same). Then connect the positive signal
(+10 to 30VDC @ 10mA) to terminal 12 and
the negative to terminal 11 of TB2.
control will now turn ON when the DC signal
is present at terminals 11 and 12 of TB2.
This input is optically isolated. Refer to
Section B of the OFF/ON CONTROL GUIDE.
7. STATUS LEDs
When any of the inputs are active, the associated
LED will turn ON. When the RUN input conditions
are met, the RUN LED will turn ON. See section
6 and the wiring diagram's ON/OFF Control
Guide for more information on how to satisfy the
RUN conditions.
