When installing the feeder, consideration must be given to the area of support that will safely carry the
full
weight of the feeder under loaded conditions. The feeder must be located on the supporting structure
by
1/2-inch (12.5 mm) dia X 3/4-inch (16 mm) locating pins (pins not provided by Syntron Material
Handling).
Thebottom spring cup for the coil spring provides for a 1/2-inch (12.5 mm) dia. x 3/4-inch (16 mm)
locating pin.
Refer to Figure 4 for the outline dimensions of the BF-4-ALF/ASFL Feeder drive. For trough dimensions,
refer to the layout drawings provided with the equipment.

CAUTION: The feeder must not come in contact with any rigid object or adjacent surface that could
hamper its vibrating action. Any connections (such as dust seals) between the trough and adjacent
objects must be flexible, preferably cloth or rubber. A one-inch (25 mm) clearance must be maintained.
INSTALLING THE CONTROL
The separate control assembly should be installed on a wall as close to the feeder as possible, in a clean
dry, vibration-free location. There must be adequate ventilationto ensure prolonged service life of the
control components. The acceptable operating temperature range for this control is 30
F to 150
F (-1
C
to 65
C) If the temperature of the control exceeds the suggested operating temperature, range, contact
Syntron Material Handling.
