 Safety instructions
This description contains the necessary information for the correct application of the product described below. It is intended for use by technically qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are persons who, because of their training, experience and position, as well as their knowledge of appropriate standards, regulations, health and
safety requirements and working conditions, are authorised to be responsible for the safety of the equipment, at all times, whilst carrying out their normal duties and are
therefore aware of, and can report possible hazards (definition of qualified employees according to IEC 364).

WARNING! Declaration of conformity

Hazardous voltage!
We declare that these products conform with the following standards and
Failure to observe can kill, cause serious injury or damage. directives:
Isolate from mains before installation or dismantling work, as well as for fuse changes or EN 50081-2 and EN 50082-2 in accordance with directive 89/336/EEC.
post installation modifications.
REO ELEKTRONIK AG, D-42657 Solingen
Observe the prescribed accident prevention and safety rules for the specific application.
Before putting into operation, check if the rated voltage for the unit conforms with the
local supply voltage.
Emergency stop devices must be provided for all applications. Operation of the
emergency stop must inhibit any further uncontrolled operation.
Electrical connections must be covered. Specified use
The units described herein are electrical controllers for installation in
Earth connections must be checked for correct function, after installation. industrial plants.They are designed for power adjustment on vibratory
feed equipment.

Installation
Do supply voltage, operating voltage of the conveyor and controller input voltage match ?
Is the controller adequately rated for the rated power of the feeder ?
What is the vibrating frequency of the feeder ?
During switch-on, internal capacitors cause a high inrush current. Especially if several controllers are switched on simultaneously, the
external fuse can blow or the circuit breaker can trip. Therefore, we recommend fitting slow-acting fuses or circuit breakers, e.g. with type 'D'
characteristic.

Connect the unit in accordance with the wiring instructions and ensure that earthing is correct !

New units are factory set (see table with settings).

Attention! For units with unknown settings, first recall the factory settings using Menu C 210 'FAC'.

If an external setpoint source is used, select "E.S.P." = I in Menu C003. If a potentiometer is used, select also 'Pot.' = I.
To set the minimum vibration level, select E.S.P. = 0, adjust the vibration level with the cursor keys and then set E.S.P. = I.

The specific settings for a system can be saved by selecting 'US.PA.' in Menu C143 (recall settings via Menu C 210 'US.PA').
Menu access can be hidden by selecting 'Hd.C.' = I in Menu C117.

* An acceleration sensor, type SW-70, has to be fitted to the feeder for constant amplitude control. Care must be taken in the method of mounting to ensure
that the fixtures are solid, provide the correct orientation and do not flex under vibration.

Manual setting of the vibrating frequency:

It is important to have a low set point setting (e.g. 30 %) because upon reaching resonance it is possible that a high amplitude will be induced, even with a low output
voltage, thus increasing the risk of the coil "hammering". To determine the resonant frequency you must connect to the output. Resonant frequency has been reached
when there is maximum amplitude and minimum output current .

Automatic frequency search (regulation mode only).

* Put set point at zero.
* Select regulation mode ( Menu C 008, Parameter ACC = I ).
* The optimum, vibrating frequency of the feeder is determined by initiating the frequency search (Menu C 008, Parameter, select A.F.S. and press any cursor key).
Return the controller back to normal running mode after the resonant frequency has been found.
