Product Guide
Feature Description
AC power cordset connector Cordset plugs into this IEC320 connector to provide feeder with power
from a grounded/fused outlet. Switchable for either 115- or 230-VAC.
Feed/flight trigger connector The remote flight-detect sensor plugs into this 4-pin connector to provide
the “start” signal to begin a feed cycle.

IMPORTANT:
Always make sure power module is replaced exactly as removed. Failure
to follow this caution can result in damaged electrical parts.
Reset button/fault indicator Labeled Reset , the primary purpose of this pushbutton switch/indicator is
to reset the feeder after: 1) a “time-out” occurs or, 2) the discharge safety
shield is opened or, 3) "miss-feed" occurs. Time-outs occur: 1) during a
misfeed or, 2) when the hopper runs out of material; or 3)
flashing during
"miss" condition. Built-in indicator illuminates: 1) steady during a time-out
condition; 2) flashing during an “open” discharge safety shield.
Variable speed control This dial switch (labeled Speed ) allows the feeder speed to be
synchronized with an inserter, or infeed conveyor. Turning counter-
clockwise decreases speed; clockwise increases speed.
Cycle button This pushbutton switch (labeled Cycle ) is primarily used during
preparation and test, this is used to manually start (or run) a feeder cycle.
To “start” a cycle, push
Cycle completely in and then release.
Batch count thumbwheels (optional)
Note: Batch count feeders only. These two wheels allow you to select a
number from 1 to 99 to which the feeder will always count and then stop.
Fault ouput connector (not shown) The fault output I/O cable plugs into this connector to provide the host
system interface.
Fault configuration selector switch This switch allows the operator to select between stopping the feeder
(not shown) or sounding an alarm only when a fault is detected.
