INSTALLATION
• Support Installation
1. Determine primary direction of product flow. Figure 4A
indicates the preferred flow as related to the drive.
2. Refer to “Match-Mark” numbers on ends of conveyor
sections. (Figure 4A) Position them in this sequence near
the area of installation.
3. Attach supports to both ends of drive section and to one
end of intermediate or tail sections (Figure 4A and 4C).
Hand tighten bolts only at this time.
4. Adjust elevation to required height.
• Ceiling Hanger Installation
If conveyors are to be used in an overhead application,
ceiling hangers may have been supplied in place of floor
supports.
Figure 4B shows how a ceiling hanger mounts to a conveyor section. Ceiling
hangers should be mounted at section joints. For safety information concerning
conveyors mounted overhead, refer to “Installation Safety Precautions” on Pg 3.
• Conveyor Set-Up
1. Mark a chalk line on the floor to locate the center of the conveyor.
2. Place the infeed section in position.
3. Place the remaining sections on the extended support of the previous section
(figure 4A).
4. Fasten the sections together with splice plates and pivot plates (figure 4C).
Hand tighten the bolts only at this time.
5. Insure that all bed sections are square. Refer to page 5 for instructions on how
to square the beds.
6. Tighten all splice plate and support mounting bolts and lag the conveyor to the
floor.
7. Connect the power wires and the EzLogic® zone controller cordsets (where
applicable) at the sections joints.
8. Mount the power supply (for the motor) and IOP (for the EzLogic® System
- where applicable) to the conveyor, near the center. Connect AC power to
both. Connect E24 wiring harness to the power supply, and from the IOP to the
EzLogic® System (where applicable). See page 6 for more information about
these connections
NOTE: See the EzLogic® GEN3 Component Manual for more information
about the IOP power connections and for more information about EzLogic®
components.
9. Install and wire any auxiliary cables or I/O modules. Refer to pages 6 and 7 for
more information about auxiliary connections.
• Electrical Equipment
CONTROLS
Electrical Code: All motor controls and wiring shall conform to the National
Electrical Code (Article 670 or other applicable articles) as published by the
National Fire Protection Association and as approved by the American Standards
Institute, Inc.
CONTROL STATIONS
A) Control stations should be so arranged and located that the operation of the
equipment is visible from them, and shall be clearly marked or labeled to indicate
the function controlled.
B) A conveyor which would cause injury when started shall not be started until
employees in the area are alerted by a signal or by a designated person that the
conveyor is about to start.
When a conveyor would cause injury when started and is automatically
controlled or must be controlled from a remote location, an audible device shall
be provided which can be clearly heard at all points along the conveyor where
personnel may be present. The warning device shall be actuated by the controller
device starting the conveyor and shall continue for a required period of time
before the conveyor starts. A flashing light or similar visual warning may be used
in conjunction with or in place of the audible device if more effective in particular
circumstances.
Where system function would be seriously hindered or adversely affected by
the required time delay or where the intent of the warning may be misinterpreted
(i.e., a work area with many different conveyors and allied devices), clear, concise,
and legible warning shall be provided. The warning shall indicate that conveyors
and allied equipment may be started at any time, that danger exists, and that
personnel must keep clear. The warnings shall be provided along the conveyor at
areas not guarded by position or location.
C) Remotely and automatically controlled conveyors, and conveyors where
operator stations are not manned or are beyond voice and visual contact from drive
areas, loading areas, transfer points, and other potentially hazardous locations on
the conveyor path not guarded by location, position, or guards, shall be furnished
with emergency stop buttons, pull cords, limit switches, or similar emergency stop
devices.
All such emergency stop devices shall be easily identifiable in the immediate
vicinity of such locations unless guarded by location, position, or guards. Where
the design, function, and operation of such conveyor clearly is not hazardous to
personnel, an emergency stop device is not required.
The emergency stop device shall act directly on the control of the conveyor
concerned and shall not depend on the stopping of any other equipment. The
emergency stop devices shall be installed so that they cannot be overridden from
other locations.
D) Inactive and unused actuators, controllers, and wiring should be removed from
control stations and panel boards, together with obsolete diagrams, indicators,
control labels, and other material which serve to confuse the operator.
NOTE: When installing ceiling hanger rods in an existing building, all methods
of attachment must comply with local building codes.
