Model Information for each unit:  The Autotune Series of Variable Frequency Feeder Cubes® generates an output frequency 
for feeding that is independent from the power line frequency.  An optional vibration sensor, P/N 123-215, can be used to 
maintain the vibratory feeder at a constant feed rate.  The start/stop operation of the output can be controlled with an optional 
parts sensor.  For more information on this control, refer to the enclosed Adjustments and Set Up pages.  Unit A is interlocked 
(subordinate) to the operation of Unit B so that Unit A operates only when Unit B is feeding parts.  The interlock can be 
reconfigured.  The Unit C operation is independent of the other units.
