4.1 Programmable Control Keypad
See Figure 4.0 for a diagram of the AutoSiever control panel.
RUN/STOP
The Run/Stop button starts and stops the sieving action. The
“Run” LED light is on when the AutoSiever is running. If this
button is pressed during a sequence, the AutoSiever will abort
the test. If pressed again, another sequence will be initiated
from the beginning.
MAN/AUTO
This function selects manual or automatic modes of operation
for the AutoSiever. The Manual mode is generally used when
determining proper time and amplitude settings for particular
samples. The Auto mode is used when inputting data in pro-
grams or selecting programs from memory.
PAUSE/RES
The Pause/Resume function interrupts the progress of a sieving
sequence. The “Pause” LED light is lit when this function is
activated. When paused, remaining time and sequence position
will be indicated on the display and program LED’s. Press the
Pause/Resume button a second time to resume operation.
PGM
The Program function is used to enter amplitude and phase
times. The button is pressed to accept the displayed value and
advance to the next entry. This function is also used to review
saved values in an existing program.
REC/
AND SAVE/
4.0 CONTROL & DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
Fuse & Voltage Selector Block
The Recall and Save functions are used to store or recall programs
from any of the ten memory locations coded 0 through 9. The
buttons are enabled when programming in the “Auto” mode.
The up and down arrow functions are used for setting time
and amplitude values and are enabled in the “Manual” mode.
4.2 Tapping Action Control Buttons
Horizontal and vertical tapping assists in particle separation
and freeing lodged, near-size particles from blinded openings:
Off
This disables all tapping. Pressing this will make Sieving action
of the unit solely dependent on sonic energy.
This button activates vertical tapping. The platform of the
Sieving Chamber is struck from underneath, elevating and
reorienting particles to the sieve cloth during the sieving
sequence.
/
This button engages both horizontal and vertical tapping.
The two horizontal tappers can be seen in the rear of the
sieving chamber on the left-hand side. Use of both Vertical
and horizontal tapping assures maximum movement of hard
to separate material.
