SPEED CONTROLS
Speed controls (potentiometer adjustment knobs) are located on the left side of the control door.
All machines have two control knobs for the speed of the glass disc, marked HIGH and LOW.
Those equipped with the optional vibratory feeder have a third control knob, marked FEED.
The glass disc runs at two speeds, changing from high speed to low speed as the target count is
approached.
HIGH – This is the speed of the disc when the Current Count is less than the Slowdown
Count. This should be set up to the highest speed at which a particular pill can be counted
with the required accuracy. While this speed may be good for counting, it may be too fast the
Divider Flag to precisely split the flow when the target count is met. This speed is found by
running test counts.
LOW – This is the speed of the disc when the Current Count is greater than the Slowdown
Count. This should be set to the speed at which the Divider Flag can split the flow precisely.
This speed is also found by running test counts.
FEED – (if equipped, optional) this controls the feed rate of the product from the vibratory
feeder to the glass disc. If the optional Automatic Feed Control is also installed, the feeder
will stop when there is an adequate supply of product on the glass disc. As the supply
diminishes, the feeder will resume feeding.
