NEW FUNCTION

ST6/17- ST8/17 circuit is an evolution of ST6F-ST8F, circuit, specifically designed for those who use any PLC-controlled configuration (eg Static relay for ON/OFF inputs and 0/10V signals for remote control) without risk of signals interference .
The technical solutions implemented therefore make the applications safer and more protected.

A Status Relay has also been implemented, it indicates the status of the vibrator with contact in change and red LED.

General instructions

Before connect the equipment to the mains socket, make sure that the nameplate data match those of the mains power supply.

Only use this equipment in accordance with the porpouse for which it is designed; i.e. for regolation of the amplitude of an electromagnetic vibrator feeder. Any other use is to considered improper, therefore hazardous.

The Manufacturer cannot be held liable for any improper, incorrect or unreasonable use of the equipment, switch it off and do not tamper with it. If repair is needed, please contact the Manufacturer’s Technical.

Service Centre only, as they use original spare parts. Failure to observe the above the recommendations could impair the safety of the equipment.

All operations regarding adjustement, measurement and testing when required, must only be carried out by authorized and qualified personnel.

The Manufacturer shall accept no liability for damage to persons, animals or objects caused by work on the equipment carried out by unauthorized and unqualifield personnel.

Before switching on the equipment, connect the mains voltage, conforming to the current regulation, and the vibratory feeder.

Verifying that the installation has an appropriate ground wiring system.

TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE OPENING.

NOTE : Don’t use the apparatus in proximity of subject zones to vibrations, or in acid and humid working environment

If vibratory feeder works bad or doesn’t work:

• Check electric wires, to check regolation MIN/MAX.
• Swicht OFF voltage and to check the fuses and, this case, to check current MAX (ampere) in the vibrator.
• Check MANUAL/AUTOMATIC position on DP4.
• Check DP3 (Normally ON)

Instructions

Before give voltage to the controller connect the supply voltage (clamps 2-3 CONN1), verifying that the installation has an appropriate ground wiring system and the vibrator (clamps VIBRATOR – CONN 2) of the connector (1-4 ground).

According European Norms EMC the controller have a line-filter with leakage current to ground less 1 mA.
To adjust intensity of vibration of the vibratory feeder, turn the adjustment knob (potentiometer 100K) on the box.

Regulation MIN/MAX

To adjust the Min./Max voltage of the vibratory feeder, proceed as follows :
MIN REG.: Turn the potentiometer to minimum, then set the minimum vibration by means of relative trimmer TR1.
MAX REG. : Turn the potentiometer to maximum, then set the maximum vibration by means of relative trimmer TR2.
N.B. : Use a small bladed screw driver in order not to damage the trimmer. Turn it in vertical direction respect to the PC board.

Automatic Input

The vibratory feeder can be regulated with an external signal (0-10V o 0-20mA o 4-20mA). To do so, proceed as follows:
– Shift DP4 on AUTOMATIC.
– Supply an input signal, 0-10V (CONN4 1 (+) – 2 (-) or 0-20mA(4-20mA) (CONN4 2-3 ) to regulate the vibratory feeder.

The trimmers MIN (TR7) – MAX (TR6) for the automatic regulation could be used for regulate the minimum and / or the maximum voltage.

ON/OFF

It is possible to switch off the feeder using ON / OFF input.

Free-voltage switch contacts:
Input 1 on CONN6-1 and input 2 CONN5-2 needs to connect shorting
Input 2 on CONN6-2 and input 1 CONN5-1 you can use the signal without voltage

0-24v signal:
Use input 1-2 CONN5 with a 0-24 Vdc signal.
With the DP3 it is possible to turn the ON / OFF logic through the 0-24 V signal or free contact voltage.

Start Ramp

Is possible to change the time of the start ramp (slow 1 sec or fast 0,1 sec) by DP2.

3000/6000 V/m

Is possible to change the frequency of vibration 3000V/m-50Hz (3600V/m-60Hz) or 6000V/m- 100Hz (7200V/m-120Hz) by DP1; before switch off the voltage.

Double Speed-Status Relay:

It is possible, on request, to have double speed (High and Low speed) with 2 potentiometers ( see technical drawing on DTCV2V brochure), a status relay changeover contact is available on CONN7.

Note
If you use only the electronic circuit (IP00) insert and cable it in a box that could guarantee an excellent safety degree respecting the European regulation in force and isolate the terminals of the potentiometer with the rubbers provided.
