SECTION 3
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
3.0 SCOPE
This section contains instructions for performing pre-operational checks, putting
the machine into operation, and making adjustments required for the most efficient
performance of the sorter.
3.1 PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
The following checks should be made before placing the machine into operation,
especially before initial start-up after installation. On later start-ups, some of the
checks will not be necessary if it is certain that all of the switches are in the correct
position. Other checks will be required only on a periodic basis or if a problem is
indicated.
3.1.1 AIR PRESSURE
The ejector air pressure should be checked and the regulator set to 40 psi.
A lower pressure setting may cause the LOW AIR PRESSURE switch to operate. It also
may be too low to effectively remove defective particles.
A higher air pressure setting will cause the ejector valve to wear out sooner, and will
cause removal of more good product when firing at defects.
The wiper air pressure regulator should be set to 50 psi.
3.1.2 SWITCH POSITIONS
The ScanMasterII is capable of operating in several different modes depending on
what position the switches are in on various printed circuit boards.
The switches described below should be checked to ensure that the machine will
operate in the correct mode for a particular product.
3.1.2.1 AMPLIFIER PCB (See Figure 2-20)
Switches S1 and S2 located near the rear of the PCB should normally be in the
PRIMARY (up) position. In this position, the Primary Dark and Light Trip controls on
the MAIN SCREEN determine the sorting sensitivity.
If the machine is configured for a combination of primary and resort, switches S1
and S2 are placed in the RESORT (down) position on the Amplifier PCB(s) which
correspond to the chutes used for resort. With this setting, the resort Amplifier
PCB(s) will be controlled by the Resort Dark and Light Trip controls on the MAIN
SCREEN.
