ADJUST AND SET UP ADJUSTMENTS AND
FOR UNIT B SET UP
1. SELECTING 60 OR 120 PULSE
OPERATION
A. For 60 pulse output - Set switch (S1) to 60 on the
P.C. card (No. 24-476).
B. For 120 pulse output - Set switch (S1) to 120 on the
P.C. card.
Note: Readjust MAX pot after changing pulse
switch setting.
2. INSTALLING THE PART SENSOR
(Photo-sensor or Proximity Switch)
A. Connect a three wire, current-sinking (NPN) or
current-sourcing (PNP) sensor as shown on the
enclosed wiring diagram. The sensor must be
able to operate on 12VDC and be capable of
switching at least 3.0 mA.
B. Set switch (S2) for the proper logic. When the
switch is in the "NORM" position, the control will
run only when the sensor signal is present. The
"NORM" position is used with Light-Operate
Photoeyes (through beam). When switch (S2) is
in the "INV" position, the control runs only when
the sensor signal is not present. The "INV" switch
position is used with Dark-Operate (reflective)
Photoeyes and with Proximity Sensors.
Troubleshooting Tip: On new sensor installations if the
sensor LED turns ON and OFF, but the control's output
does not turn ON and OFF, turn the time delays all the
way down, counter-clockwise. If this problem persists,
the sensor may have an internal pull-up or pull-down
resistor that is incompatible with the universal sensor
input on the control. Dedicate the control's part sensor
input to match the sensor's output type. Remove the
resistor labeled "R4" and "NPN" when using a NPN
sensor. For a PNP sensor remove the resistor labeled
"R3" and "PNP." The resistors are located near TB2-4.
Use needle-nose pliers to twist and snap the resistor
off. Removing the resistor does not void the warranty.
3. LIMITING THE MAXIMUM
OUTPUT OF CONTROL
The MAX Output trimpot can be adjusted to keep
the vibratory feeder from hammering when the
control is turned up to full power.
When setting up the MAX output of the feeder
control, the output to feeder must be connected
and the control set for the proper output frequency
(60 or 120 pulse) setting. The Run Contact input
must be closed, and the Part Sensor must be
calling for parts.
A. Power input should be OFF or disconnected.
B. Open cover to allow access to printed circuit
card.
C. Adjust the MAX Output trimpot counter-
clockwise to its minimum setting.
D. Using CAUTION, turn power ON (no output
should be present).
E. Rotate the MAIN CONTROL DIAL on front
cover to its highest setting.
F. Adjust the MAX Output trimpot so that the
output to the feeder reaches its desired
maximum level when the MAIN CONTROL
DIAL is turned fully clockwise. Turning the
MAX Output trimpot clockwise increases the
maximum output level.
4. MAIN CONTROL DIAL
The output power is controlled by the MAIN
CONTROL DIAL. A special logarithmic-tapered
power out curve (non-linear) spreads the power
broadly across the MAIN CONTROL DIAL to help
give maximum "Fine Control" over the output
speed of the vibratory feeder.
5. RUN JUMPER INPUT
The Run Jumper comes installed across TB2-7&8.
The Run input may also be controlled by a relay
contact, switch, or an NPN type of PLC output.
Replace the factory-installed jumper with the "Run
Signal" at terminals 7(-) and 8(+) of TB2 (small
terminal strip). A contact must be able to switch
12VDC at 3.0 mA. The control will then run only
when the contact is closed and the part sensor is
calling for parts. The PLC's PNP output may be
used if it is isolated from the internal power supply.
To isolate it remove R24&25 located on the bottom
side of the circuit board near TB2-5. Isolation for
an NPN PLC output is optional.
