Non-Standard Conveyor Calibration Procedure
Use this procedure for conveyors that do not have a 1.5-inch chain
pitch. You must determine the conveyor’s chain pitch and number
of teeth per chain segment/link to use this procedure.
If you can not determine the chain pitch and number of teeth per
chain segment/link call IDC Customer Support for assistance at:
• 888-434-5832 (North America only)
• 310-325-5633
This procedure estimates the number of encoder pulses per 10
meters of conveyor travel, therefore you must test the accuracy
and make adjustments until the proper calibration is achieved.
1. Press Key 5 until SYSTEM DISPLAY appears and then press
the Arrow Key to enter the Calibrate Mode. You may be
required to enter a password if your system is password
protected.
2. Press Key 4 until REJECTOR STATUS appears and check to be
sure the rejector is activated. If it is turned off, press the Arrow
Key to turn it on.
3. Open dip switch S1-5.
4. Press Key 5 until REJECTOR TYPE appears and use the Arrow
Key to select the type of rejector installed in your system.
5. Press Key 5 until KNOWN CHAIN PITCH & TEETH appears
and set to NOT PRESENT.
6. Press Key 5 until ENCODER RESOLUTION appears and enter
the encoder resolution. The standard encoder is 500 pulse. The
following table lists the encoders and the supported resolution.
Note
The encoder resolution is set at the factory during assembly,
however if you upgraded the software you should check the
encoder type and set it properly.
