OPERATING PROCEDURES
Start Up
1) Check to see that electricity and air are connected to the LD16AE.
2) Close safety gates. (Machine will not operate if safety gates are open).
3) Depress “Start” button. Drive motors should run/drive and belts should move.
The machine should now cycle automatically when a box enters it.
Caution: Keep clear of the machine. Do not reach any part of your body into the
machine as you may inadvertently trigger some automatic reaction.
Note: if this machine is equipped with a 3-PH motor, check travel direction of
belts – they should move from the infeed end to the exit end of the
machine. If the direction is reversed, stop the machine. Have a licensed
electrician reverse two wires on the main circuit breaker.
Sequence of Operation:
When a box enters the machine, a sequence of operations is initiated. This
sequence takes the form of discrete steps. Each must be sensed and completed before
the next step can proceed. Below, each step is described in two ways: Paragraph “A”
Describes the action of the operating parts; and paragraph “B” describes the state of
the solenoid valves and limit switches responsible for the action. The heading for each
step identifies the sensor controlling the actions of that step.
