Page 22: General Loader Operation
Loading is accomplished by inserting the feed tube(s) into the ENERAL material supply, turning on the control, allowing material to flow into the loader and adjusting the virgin (and/or regrind) OADER load time as described below. PERATION Start of the loading function is triggered by the demand switch, integrated into the gravity discharge valve on the bot- tom of the loader (or provided as a separate switch or sensor). -
Page 23: Single Material, Hopper Loading
In this configuration, the only control settings required by the INGLE user are the input of “VIR SECS” plus feed tube settings (known as “air-to-material” settings). Feed tube setting are ATERAL covered separately under “Setting Feed Tubes”, located in the loader manual. -
Page 24: Single Material, Direct Feed Loading
Direct Feed loaders operate exactly the same as Hopper INGLE Loading versions, but may include a sensor on the sight glass base. Follow all of the guidelines listed under “Single ATERIAL Material, Hopper Loading”, section 5 and then refer to the “Sensor Adjustments”, section 6 to properly adjust the IRECT demand sensor located on the direct feed sight glass. -
Page 25: Two Material Loading
Follow all guidelines listed under “Single Material Loading”, ATERIAL section 5. The operational parameters are exactly the same, except that the operator will now be loading two materials OADING during the vacuum-on cycle through the use of the ‘ratio’ function and a ratio valve mounted on the inlet of the loader. Two control settings govern the operation of the ratio valve: The “regrind seconds”... - Page 26 ATERIAL IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that the ratio function be employed only for applications that allow OADING the full use of all generated regrind as it is generated. CONTINUED In this case, the ratio function provides a valuable asset to users, by efficiently loading an approximate proportion of regrind along with virgin materials.
- Page 27 Loaders equipped with positive discharge valves operate OPPER exactly the same as other functions but instead of simple gravity discharging their load of material at the conclusion of OADER loading, the discharge valve is ‘driven’ open by an air cylinder linked to the flapper.

Conair. In some cases, it may be desirable to utilize the remote demand sensor option alternately with the integrated demand switch or other sensing method. -
Page 29: Purge
Receivers utilizing the purge option provide a signal for an URGE optional Purge Valve and a lengthening of the vacuum sequenc- ing valve’s open time for that loader, designed to evacuate the PERATION conveying line of material. This feature is controlled by settings accessible through Security Level C called “PURG SECS”. - Page 30 The material valve used for purging is very similar in construc- URGE tion to the ratio valves used for loading regrind along with vir- gin material, but it is equipped with an air inlet filter on the PERATION valve’s left inlet. The right inlet is plumbed to the material CONTINUED source and the singular outlet is plumbed to the loader.

Page 32: General Sensor Sensitivity Adjustments
Capacitive Level Sensors use their own on-board electronics ENERAL to sense the presence or absence of material located in front of the flat face of their cylindrical bodies and trigger loader con- ENSOR trol functions as a result.

Page 33: Demand Sensors
Demand sensors are utilized in two different ways: In direct EMAND contact with material or through a sight glass. ENSORS When coming in direct contact with material, it is recom- mended that the sensor be initially adjusted for sensitivity and then re-adjusted, once the sensor becomes coated with typical material fines, common to plastics conveying. -
Page 34: Fill Sensors
Fill sensors are installed right in the loader body and come in ENSORS direct contact with material, as it is being loaded. If set cor- rectly, the time the material contacts the sensor is brief, since loading is terminated by the sensor and unloading usually occurs immediately afterwards. -

Page 46: Use Of Standard Input Devices
Your Selectronic 6 control box operates by receiving input sig- UMPER nals from switches, buttons and sensors, then responds with timed outputs to valves, etc. In order to operate correctly, the ETTINGS control must be set up to properly interpret the input signals of specific input sensors and switches, considering source/sink operation, normally open/normally closed, etc. -
Page 47: Use Of Non-Standard Input Devices
If input devices, other than those described above as "Standard SE OF Input Devices" are intended to be used with your Conair DustBeater, changes are required in the control to allow the TANDARD control to 'read' these devices and respond appropriately. -
Page 48: Changing Input Device Jumpers
To change the jumpers, first disconnect power to the control HANGING by disconnecting the line cord from the power outlet. The control’s backlit window should be dark, regardless of NPUT EVICE the position of the on/off/reset switch. The control does not need to be removed from its installed position, unless there UMPERS is an obstruction directly above its enclosure. -
Page 49: Universal Terminal Box (Utb)
Your Selectronic 6 is provided with a junction box that pro- NIVERSAL vides receptacles for all input and output devices and provides a connection point for the umbilical cable that connects the ERMINAL control to the loader. This box will accommodate all current (UTB) and future options for your Selectronic 6 and is commonly referred to as a Universal Terminal Box or “UTB”. - Page 50 3. Remove the front cover of the UTB by turning the screw NIVERSAL head in the middle/bottom of the front cover counter-clock- wise to unlock the cover, then use the small indentation ERMINAL below the screw to reach below the cover and work it away (UTB) from the UTB.
