Installation
Before beginning the installation process ensure that you
have fully read the following information and that you are
comfortable in your abilities to complete the various tasks.
Ensure that you have read all the relevant safety
information in the preceding pages in order to protect
both yourself and co-workers from injury and to protect
the equipment from damage.
Depending upon the type and configuration, some
conveyors are supplied fully assembled and only require
installing while others are supplied partially assembled
and need to be completed on site. Please follow the
relevant instructions below for your specific conveyor(s).
Assembled Conveyors
1.
Unpack the conveyor and check for damage.
2.
Ensure the installation area is flat and free of
debris.
3.
Position conveyor in desired location and ensure
that it is level in both directions.
4.
Conveyors are supplied with one of three leg
options:
a)
Fixed
I.
For fixed legs, drill through the
holes in the feet and use
suitable anchors to fasten the
conveyor to the floor.
b)
Adjustable
I.
For adjustable legs, slacken the
clamping bolts on the legs and
adjust the leg length. Re-
tighten the clamping bolts and
check the conveyor for level.
Drill through the holes in the
feet and use suitable anchors to
fasten the conveyor to the
floor.
c)
Castors
I.
For castors, lock the wheels
with the wheel locks (if fitted).
5.
Check the oil level in the gear reducer.
6.
If your conveyor is supplied with its own control box
this now needs to be wired into a suitable electrical
supply. If your conveyor is supplied without a
control box then it will need to be wired into the
control system of your machine.
Note:
All electrical wiring must be completed by a
qualified electrician according to local codes
.
Operating the Conveyor
The procedures for routine operation of the conveyor will
vary depending on whether the conveyor has its own control
system or if it is tied into your machine control system.
For stand-alone conveyors press the <Start> button to run
the conveyor and the <Stop> button to stop the conveyor.
The <Reverse> button (if fitted) will ‘jog’ the belt in the
reverse direction.
For conveyors which are tied into another machine control
system, the start and stop commands will have to be issued
from that system. In either case it is important that the
conveyor is started before any parts can accumulate on the
belt and that it is stopped after being allowed to run off any
parts it is currently carrying.
Failure to observe these conditions could lead to overloading
of the system at start-up causing premature wear on the belt
and in the drive. Always start the conveyor before applying
its load and stop the conveyor after it has been allowed to
clear the belt.
WARNING
NEVER
attempt any maintenance unless authorized to do
so.
Always
disconnect power supply and lock out before
removing guarding for correcting problems or for
maintenance.
Always
re-install guards before starting machine.
