Safety
Warnings:
Only trained operatives should operate this machine.
Only trained engineers should maintain this machine.
Disconnect the machine from its electrical and pneumatic supplies before removing any
component or servicing the machine in any way.
High voltages are present within the machine.
Never remove any guards or covers while the machine is powered up.
The machine contains moving parts. Do not work in the viewing area with the air or power
supplies on.
Ear defenders should be worn whilst working close to the machine.
Some products containing dust should not be processed if there is a risk that, during the
sorting process, the dust could compound to sufficient levels to form an explosive
atmosphere, within or around the machine.
Care should be taken to prevent a build up of dust on surfaces of the machine and around
the machine, which, if left unchecked, could lead to the risk of secondary explosions
initiated from elsewhere.
Do not use this machine’s power or air supplies for any other purpose, other than that
intended.
The relevant manual must be read and understood – including advice on safety labels.
Do not stare at the illumination system for long periods of time as eye injury could result.
Individual lamp units must not be removed from the system as there will be a risk of
exposure to potentially harmful illumination levels. Faulty units should only be replaced by
fully trained Buhler maintenance personnel.
Protection may be impaired if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer.
Important advice
Throughout these manuals, additional advice is given, relevant to the subject being described. In some cases,
a warning label on the relevant part of the machine, draws attention to particular risks. The table on the next
page explains these labels in more detail. In the manuals, these blocks of advice are formatted differently, to
draw attention to their importance:-
A Warning is a command where failure to observe the instruction could result in injury or death to people. On
the machine, a risk of this level is indicated by a Yellow label, normally triangular.
A Caution is an advice which, if disregarded, could result in damage to the equipment, associated equipment
and process. On the machine, a risk of this level is indicated by a red label, normally circular.
A Note is intended as useful advice or a hint – to help the reader understand the subject in question. On the
machine, a blue label in relevant areas advises the operator to refer to the manuals.
Page 5
Hardware
Labels used on the SORTEX S
CAUTION - NO WELDING
Welding should not take place near the machine.
CAUTION - NO DRILLING
The frame should not be drilled.
CAUTION - DO NOT EXCEED…

This label signifies the air pressure limits for the machine.
Warning
This yellow warning label appears at various points on the machine to indicate dangerous
areas.
Warning - ELECTRICITY
This yellow warning label appears on protective guards covering hazardous electrical
equipment..
Warning – MOVING PARTS

This yellow warning label appears on the wiper cover and the receptacle doors as a warning
against moving parts which could trap fingers, etc. The wiper cylinder action is powerful and
could cause serious injury.
Warning – POTENTIAL HIGH NOISE LEVELS

In operation, the sound pressure level has been measured at above 85 DBA.
Hearing Protection must be worn at all times.
READ THE MANUAL

This blue command label mandates that instructions in the manual must be followed.

Safety
Power & Air Safety

Many areas of this machine’s interior carry mains (AC) electricity – at dangerous voltages.
Other areas carry lower voltages, less dangerous to humans – but wrong treatment of live components
can damage them irreparably.
Many of the machine’s operations rely on compressed air. Care should be taken to avoid the
unexpected release of compressed air, which could cause serious injury.
There are maintenance operations which would become dangerous if the machine were to become
active, while someone was working on them.
Power
When undertaking any maintenance work, in or near the machine, switch off the electrical power at the power
isolator. And, to guard against someone switching it on again, unaware of the danger, lock the isolator in the
off position.
Power Power Off and locked

Caution: Allow a minute or so for capacitors to discharge, before working on any PCBs or
power supplies.
There are some maintenance operations – mostly tests and diagnoses of problems – in which
power is required. Take great care during such operations. For further details, see the Essential
Information booklet.
Heated Chute Machines

A machine with heated chutes has an extra isolator fitted. The isolator controlling them will
be at the top/rear of the machine.
In such machines, take care to switch off both isolators during maintenance work, and to
take the same precautions against accidental switch-on.
Air
When undertaking any maintenance work in the optical area (where the wipers operate), or in the ejector
enclosure, switch the air supply off.
The air supply is controlled by a black lockable ball valve – at the left/rear of the machine (as you face the
Control Screen). When the T-handle points in the direction of the airflow (parallel with the back of the
machine) – the air supply is on. When the T-handle points across the direction of the airflow – the air supply is
off.
Locking ring – into valve – like this
Air supply on Air supply locked off

There is a locking ring, chained to the assembly, which sits in the centre of the valve, and prevents it from
being turned to the On position. If a padlock is then inserted into the hole in the ring and valve, the air cannot
be turned on accidentally.
Page 7
Hardware
Good Habits
Throughout these manuals, there will be regular reminders to switch off air and
power, before undertaking particular maintenance tasks – using the images on the
right.
However, it should become a matter of habit to ensure that air and power are
switched off, every time maintenance work is contemplated, and that any
exception to this rule should be very carefully thought through.
Page 8

Page 9
Hardware
Warning: Switch off the power before proceeding. Lock both switches, in
case they are switched on while you work.
The Control Cabinet

The Control Cabinet is at the back of the machine. Its door is locked at nine
points, which can only be opened with the square key, supplied with the
machine.
Lift up the door and secure it with the catch – on the right-hand end (see
right).
Note: Due to its location, much of your work in the Control
Cabinet will have to be in a prone position. You may require
something to lie on.
Make sure that other people (and vehicles) can see you.
Caution: Do not attempt to diagnose faults or carry out repairs
to Printed Circuits Boards.
Semiconductor devices are prone to damage by electrostatic discharge. To
avoid such damage, use an anti-static wrist-strap and coiled lead (supplied
with the machine), ensuring that the lead is in constant contact with bare metal on an earthed (grounded) part
of the machine or working area.
In addition, observe the following precautions:-
Store, handle and repair Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) containing Electrostatic Sensitive
Devices (ESDs) in a special working area, free of electrostatic charge.
Ensure that the workbench, surrounding equipment and personnel handling PCBs are
earthed.
If such an area is not available, take the following actions:-
Take care never to touch the terminals of ESDs (this includes the reverse side of the PCB,
where such terminals are soldered).
Store ESDs and PCBs containing ESDs in anti-static bags or in wrapping specially designed
for the purpose.
When removing or fitting PCBs, ensure that the machine is isolated from the electric Mains
supply.
Removing PCBs
To enable correct replacement on the new board, make a note of all connections to that board, and where
they go.
Unplug each of the cables attached to the board you wish to remove.
Each PCB is affixed to a metal plate. Remove all the retaining screws securing the plate and, where required,
unclip the plate and remove it from the machine. The PCB can then be removed from the plate by unscrewing
the retaining screws.
Replacing PCBs
Replacement is the reverse of the above procedure. Make sure that the right cables are plugged into the right
sockets. Never try to force a plug into a socket - always ease the plug in with a firm, gentle pressure.
Always ensure that all the guards are replaced.
Caution: When work in the Control Cabinet is complete, lock the door with all nine locks
– to ensure an air-tight seal against the intrusion of dust – which can damage components.

Caution: The cameras are not serviceable in
the field. The lens, sensor, and the electronics
board cannot be disassembled.
Connections

Signal
For camera signal purposes, the
cameras are grouped into fours,
with P3 on the first camera
connecting to the Sort Processor.
Thereafter, P3 connects to P2 on
the previous board.
On the last camera of the four, P2
is unconnected.
Power
The drawing below shows
the Rear Optical Box of an S4. A similar arrangement operates
in the Front Optical Box.

In an S6, there will be more cameras.
Power
Power is delivered to P1 on all
cameras. However, each plug
contains links, designating
which camera is being
connected.
The table on the right shows
the relevant links, and the
positions they designate. The
cable WA25-0066/01 connects
cameras 1-8 in the Front
Optical Box. The cable WA25-
0066/02 connects cameras 1-8
in the Rear Optical Box.
The cable WA25-0067/01 connects cameras 9-12 in the Front Optical Box. The cable WA25-0067/02
connects cameras 9-12 in the Rear Optical Box. (There will be no WA25-0067 cables in an S4 – with no more
than 8 cameras in each optical box.)
Note: In an S3 or S5 – where there are no cameras in the ‘last’ module, the last camera in the
sequence (in module 3 in an S3, for instance), is fitted with a terminator.

BSSY-11230-001 Ejector Drive Board
Ejector socket #1
Ejector socket #10
The ejector drive boards are mounted on five uprights (in S4) or seven uprights (in S6).
Each drive board has a letter – A,B,C etc., starting with the rightmost upright. The drawing below shows how
they are arranged in an S6 machine (an S4 has fewer uprights and fewer boards). This drawing shows the
boards as they would be seen, looking into the Control Cabinet. The photo above shows board B. Board A
faces Board B. Board C is on the reverse face of the upright holding Board B.
This lettering corresponds to labels above the ejector blocks, showing which ejector board serves which
ejector block. Each ejector socket on the board is numbered (1 to 10). This number corresponds to the
Page 15
Hardware
number on the ejector label and to an ejector block. These numbers are clearly marked on the board – see
next photo. Each block has four valves, so each ejector board is capable of driving up to 40 valves.
Not all ejector boards will be fully populated. If you need to disconnect a plug, you must return it to the
letter/number indicated on the label above that ejector – you cannot just use the ‘next’ socket.
Caution: When working with the Ejector Drive Board, or with the ejectors themselves, take
great care not to interfere with other boards and connections, on the floor of the
Control Cabinet.
Note: On the photo below, the blue arrows and labels apply to a right-hand-mounted board
(e.g., Board B). The red arrows and labels apply to a left-hand-mounted board (e.g.,
Board C). The pink boxes outline groups of LEDs which are explained on p. 17.
+ve +ve
-ve -ve
OUT IN
P7 P6
P8 P5
IN OUT
P4 P3
The left and right ejector boards are identical. Only the mounting plates are different. The one shown above is
a right-hand mounting plate (i.e., mounted on the right-hand face of an upright).
The ejector command sockets (P5-8) – labeled ‘IN’ & ‘OUT’ – are daisy-chained, from one board to the next,
using ribbon cables. The sockets closest to the ejectors are used. The ones at the other end of the board are
not used. You can see this arrangement in the photo and drawings.
The upper sockets of back-to-back boards are connected. The lower sockets of facing boards are connected.
At the start of the chain, on the rightmost board in the Control Cabinet (always board A), the IN socket is
connected to the Sort Processor. On the last board in the chain the OUT socket is empty.
The 24V power input goes to the screw terminals at the top corner of the board. For these, the outer pair (+ve
& -ve) are used. The inner pair are unused. 24V power comes from PSU 34582. See p. 17.
The 12V power input goes to the white socket (P3 or P4) at the bottom corner. The outer socket is used. The
inner one is unused. 12V power comes from the 12V distribution system. See p. 41.
Board Position Links
The white plug which fits into P3 or P4 also contains white wire links. These define the board’s position in the
chain. On all boards, pin 1 is +12V and pin 2 is 0V – the board’s power supply. Pin 3 is also 0V – and the
pattern of pins (4-7) linked to this define that board’s position in the chain, as shown in the table below.

Ejector Configurations
The SORTEX S offers a wide range of ejector configurations. A full listing is given in the Appendix on p. 70.
Replacing Ejectors
Warning: Switch off power and air before proceeding. Lock both
switches, in case they are switched on while you work.
The following procedure applies to standard and high-resolution ejectors alike.
Part # BSSY-10661-001 Standard S Ejector block
Part # BSSY-10694-001 S Ejector block (high resolution)
Caution: Take care not to damage or disturb the electronics on the boards on the floor of
the Control Cabinet, or on the Ejector boards, fixed to the uprights.
Ejector Test
There are a range of ejector tests available on the User Interface, accessible via Diagnostics,
Ejector Tests. If you suspect a faulty ejector, you can narrow down the problem by narrowing the
range of the test. To confirm, you can run a test on a single ejector.
When you have identified the faulty unit, the screen will
tell you which ejector it is (it reports which ejector is
currently being tested).
The example on the right shows Ejector #26. It also
shows that this is controlled by Ejector Board B, and
socket 7 on that board.
It also shows the Position of the ejector within the block,
but that is not relevant here, since you will be changing
the whole block.
When you have identified the block needing replacing,
make a note of the Board letter, the socket number and
the ejector block(s).
1. The Ejector Test will tell you which ejector board this ejector
uses. The boards are clearly labeled – see right.
On each board, there are ten sockets, also clearly labeled –
see below. (For more on the Ejector Boards, see p. 15.)
2. Remove the plug from the appropriately-numbered socket, on the appropriately-lettered ejector board.
Page 18
Hardware
3. This letter/number also refers to a particular location, which

is clearly marked on the ejector manifold – see right.
Immediately below this number on the label is the ejector
block in question.
Note: In a space where no ejector is fitted,

the label uses XX to indicate this.
4. Pinch together the two prongs and pull down.

The seal is quite tight, so this may require some effort.
5. Lift the front hooks off the white lip (arrowed in the
photo) and remove the whole ejector block from the
machine.
6. Replacement is the reverse of this procedure. Place the

front hooks over the lip. There are dividers in the lip to
guide the ejectors towards the nozzle tubes.
Page 19
Hardware
7. Pinch together the two prongs and push the seal into the
aperture in the manifold.
Take care not to force it somewhere it shouldn’t go. It will
require reasonable force to make the seal, but avoid
excessive force. With experience, you will know when
you have it right.
8. Plug the yellow/black lead into the correct socket on the

ejector board.
9. Close the Control Cabinet door, switch on the power &
air to the machine, and test the ejectors again.
Reset Ejector life
The machine keeps a record of the activity each ejector
goes through. It also has an estimate of the expected
lifetime of each ejector. When you replace an ejector
block, or a range of blocks, open Machine Info, Parts
Life, Ejectors.
Identify the replaced blocks and Reset their usage to
zero. Now you can keep track of their future progress
and will be ready to replace them, before they again
near the end of their expected life.
Note: The Reset command will require an

Administrator password.
While you are in these screens, check on the remaining life of adjacent ejectors. If they are getting close to
their expected lifetime, you should consider changing all of them, to avoid failure during sorting.
It would also be advisable to visit these screens during regular maintenance sessions. Much better to replace
ejectors before they fail.

– to the LEDs themselves.
LED Lighting units

Safety Information
TM
The illumination system on the SORTEX S UltraVision incorporates high-power LEDs. The illumination
system has been assessed against BS EN 62471:2008, Photobiological Safety of lamps and lamp systems,
and classified as being in excess of the Exempt Risk Group and to be within Risk Group 1 for an optical
radiation hazard of retinal blue light, 400nm -780nm.
The lamp units, as assembled and fitted in the machine, do not represent a hazard to the user for short
-2 -1
term exposure. The system is calculated to have an Exposure Hazard Value (EHV) of 100Wm sr at
2400mm.
This information is presented in the manual to advise that normal precautions are observed of not staring at
high intensity light sources.
Warning The LEDs contained within a lamp unit, when viewed directly, fall within Risk
Category 2 - possibly hazardous optical radiation is emitted. If viewed directly eye injury
can result. Suitable measures must be taken during servicing and test to ensure that direct
viewing of the LEDs is avoided.
The LED lighting is controlled by the LED Control Board (BSSY-11225-001). See p. 21.
The LEDs themselves are contained in sealed units, which are linked together, to form machine-wide strips of
illumination. They are housed in the Optical boxes – one Front, one Rear.
Note: Throughout this section, we are looking at the back of the LED units, which is what the
engineer will see when working on them.
For foreground illumination, there are four main units for each chute (Upper & Lower, Front & Rear) - BSSY-
10618-001. One of these is shown above left. In addition, each row has an ‘Infill’ unit at each end (see above
right) – BSSY-10619-001. So, an S4 (shown in top photo) would have 16 main units, plus 8 infill units
(including front&rear). An S6 would have 24 main units and 8 infill units. The first photo shows the upper, front,
foreground strip. There is another in the same box (and two more in the rear).
Note: In an S3 or S5, the infill unit at the ‘empty’ end is omitted.
Page 22
Hardware
In the event of failure, it is these units which are replaced. They are
held in place with four screws, and can be pulled out from the fixed
extrusion (see right). The sealed units are not serviceable in the field.
Note: Take care when screwing into

these aluminium units. Ensure that the
screws are not cross-threaded or
overtightened.
Between the two strips of foreground

LEDS, is a strip of background LEDs. A
view of one end of this strip is shown on
the right, looking along the front optical Background
box.
An S6 has seven of these units (BSSY-
10620-001in the Front box, and seven
more in the rear.
An S5 has six in each box – and so on. Upper

Access to LED units
Front optical box, Upper Foreground
The retaining screws for these units should be relatively easy to access, in their standard position.
Front optical box, Background
To access these screws, it will be necessary to rotate the lamp pack. C D
Pull out the catch labelled B in the photo. Turn it to lock it (if it does
not lock, you may need a second pair of hands to do this job). Repeat
at the other end.
Rotate the lamp pack in the direction of the red arrow, locating the
catch in the recess marked C. This gives access to the Background
units.
There is a handle at one end of the lamp pack, to make this rotation
easier. B
Front optical box, Lower Foreground

First, pull out the catch labelled A, in the second photo, allowing the
upper foreground unit to drop. This allows the next step to happen.
Pull out the catch labelled B in the first photo. Turn it to lock it.
Repeat at the other end.
Rotate the whole lamppack to Position D, which gives access to the A
Lower Foreground units.
There is a handle at one end of the
lamp pack, to make this rotation
easier. The photo below shows the
lamppack, fully rotated.

Rear optical box

The lamppack in the rear behaves in a similar way to the front – with the exception that it is not necessary to
drop the upper section to enable the whole lamppack to rotate.
Reset Lighting life
The machine keeps a record of the activity each lighting
unit. It also has an estimate of the expected lifetime of
each of them. When you replace a lighting unit, you
should Reset their expected life, so that you can keep
track of their progress and be ready to replace them,
when they eventually fail.
Note: The Reset command will require an

Administrator password.
While you are in these screens, check on the remaining

expected life of the other units. If they are getting close
to their expected lifetime, you should consider changing them, to avoid failure during sorting.
It would also be advisable to visit these screens during regular maintenance sessions. Much better to replace
them before they fail.
By pressing on the relevant parts of the first screen, you
can focus on particular lighting units. Then you can
identify the unit you changed, and Reset its value.

BSSY-11224-001 Sort Processor
The Sort Processor is located on the floor of the Electronics Cabinet, in the compartment between ejector
boards C & D.
It can take signals from up to 24
cameras, so the connections to it will
depend on how many cameras are
being used. Each socket, J1 to J6,
can receive signals from four
cameras (see p. 13). For an S4,
therefore, no connection need be
made to J1 or J4.
J1,2,3 each handle a group of four
cameras in the Front Optical Box.
J4,5,6 each handle a group of four
cameras in the Rear Optical Box.
Note that J1-J6 (at the far end of
the board, when in position) are
not in numerical order. They run

External Connections
If you intend to use interlocks and/or a GSM modem with the SORTEX S,
the cables connecting them to the System Services Board in the Control
Cabinet, must be routed through the Side Access Plate, on the right-hand
side of the machine. The photo on the right shows the exterior of this plate -
with a GSM aerial connected through it.
In a production machine, there will be two such glands – with two spare
ones in the Spares kit, should more cables be needed.
Select the appropriate aperture for your cable, remove that blanking plug.
Feed the cable through the aperture, and seal its point of entry with the
gland.
Plant Connectivity
TM
The following signals are available to interface the SORTEX S UltraVision with other plant equipment. The
software switch to activate these signals can be found in the Settings menu (Advanced user only).
INPUTS
Release While this input is active, the machine is permitted to run.
♦ Other factors such as faults and operator action are still capable of stopping the machine.
♦ Deactivating or removing this input will stop the feed on the entire machine until the input is re-
activated or disabled.
Note: The machine is configured at installation to accept / ignore this input.
OUTPUTS
Running This output indicates whether or not product is capable of being processed by the machine.
Interruptions to feed caused by routine calibrations and wipes do not affect this output.
♦ This output is active if any part of every division is feeding.
♦ This output is inactive if any entire division has stopped feeding due to a fault, the operator
disabling the feed or the deactivation of the Release input.
Fault This output is active for any fault condition.
These IO signals are available at the P1 / P2 connectors of the System Services Board (SSB – see below).
Cables must be routed via a gland on the machine interface plate to
prevent dust ingress to the control box. The interface plate is located on
the side of the control box. Cables should be routed to the rear of the
control box, where the air supply pipes are positioned.

Modem/Router
Internet connection is via a wireless modem/router (3G or 4G) This are intended to dial up an Internet Service
Provider (ISP), make an Internet connection through it, and connect to the SORTEX server – to enable remote
detection and diagnosis of problems with your machine.
S3/S4
In an S3/S4, the router BSXX-11084-001 (labelled 36173) is
located in the (narrow) compartment next to the customer
access plate, on the upright facing it (see right).
The connections are shown below.
BSSY-10708-001 (labelled A04-5810) connects, through

the customer access plate, to an external aerial. This has a
magnetic mount, allowing it to be positioned on the
machine, or nearby metalwork – wherever offers a good
signal, without impeding the safe operation of the sorter.
The 30358/05 cable connects the machine to customer
network(or to an engineer’s laptop). If the router is not fitted,
cable 30358/12 (from the System Controller (see p. 28))
can be routed to the customer access plate instead.
Page 42
Hardware
S5/S6
In an S5/S6, the router BSXX-11084-001 (labelled 36173) is
located two compartments to the right of the customer access
plate, on the control cabinet floor (see right).
The connections are shown below.
BSSY-10708-001 (labelled A04-5810) connects,

through the customer access plate, to an external
aerial. This has a magnetic mount, allowing it to
be positioned on the machine, or nearby

without impeding the safe operation of the sorter.
The 30358/05 cable connects the machine to customer network (or to an engineer’s laptop). If the router is not
fitted, cable 30358/12 (from the System Controller (see p. 28)) can be routed to the customer access plate
instead.
SIM card
To activate the modem, it will be necessary to insert an appropriate SIM card – configured for internet access
in that locality.
The SIM card slot is inaccessible in this position,
so it will be necessary to remove it from the
machine. To do this, unscrew the four nuts holding
the base-plate to the floor, and bring the whole
assembly out. You will need to disconnect the
aerial cable (black & white – on the right of the
photo above) and the RJ45 plug to the System
Controller (grey, on the left, in the photo). You
may also need to unplug the green power plug –
on the right side of the modem. Do not disconnect
the earthing cables.
The photo on the right shows the assembly, out of
the machine.
Unscrew the three screws, fixing the modem to
the plate (keeping them safe for re-assembly).
The SIM card compartment is clearly marked.
Unscrew the single screw and open the
compartment. The SIM card goes in the socket
nearest to you. It will only fit one way.
Note: The modem has an option for a

second SIM card. This is unlikely to be
needed but, if it is, the procedure for setting
it up would be the same.
The SD card slot is unpopulated, and would
bring no benefits if it were present.
Close up the SIM card compartment, refit the
modem to the plate (with the three screws &
washers) and slide the plate back into position.
Refit the power plug, the aerial plug and the RJ45.
Note: You may wish to leave the base-plate unsecured for the moment, until you have checked
the SIM card. If so, do not forget to screw it back down, before closing up the Control cabinet.

GSM Aerial
The GSM aerial has a magnetic base, so it can be located on any ferrous metal
surface. In the example on the right, it is located on the side of the machine itself,
just above the access plate. Select a position that will give adequate signal, avoid
any trip hazard and avoid any impediment to work on the sorter.

Examine the filter (and the filter holder) for excessive moisture, oil or dirt. There is a
drain at the bottom of the filter holder, which should remove excess moisture, but
this can become clogged.
If the filter is wet, then the air supply to the machine needs to be treated with a
dryer, before it reaches this point.
Ensure that the screw threads on the filter bowl and mating body are
well greased, before replacing.
Replace the filter holder by screwing it in to the airset, in the reverse direction.

Diagnostics
Diagnostics
TM
There is a suite of tools in the SORTEX S UltraVision user interface to test wiper action and ejectors. These
are detailed in the Diagnostics section of the Operator’s manual. Perhaps the most useful facility is
Diagnostic Trace, which captures all the relevant settings and reports from the machine, into files which can
be sent to Bühler Sortex engineers, who can then examine them to detect underlying issues, and suggest
remedies.
This can be found in the Diagnostics menu, via the button along the bottom of the screen.
Diagnostic Trace
Insert a fresh USB memory stick into the socket underneath

the screen.
Select Diagnostic Trace from the Diagnostics screen,

the screen will first invite you to insert a USB into the
socket (if you have not already done so).
A folder will be created on the USB, called
/SORTEXDIAGNOSTICS (if it doesn’t already exist).
Select the data you wish to copy to the USB – Diagnostic

Info, Machine Configuration and/or Debug Log. It is
likely that an engineer will want all three.
A new file will be created for each, each with a unique
filename – containing the current date.
Note: The filenames may seem strange –

“tar.gz” – but any unzip program will be able to open
them. For example, “7zip” is a free unzipper, easily
findable on the internet, which will open these files.
Of course, in most cases, it will be Bühler Sortex Remove USB
engineers who ask for these files, and, without their
expertise, it is unlikely that the meaning of the Trace
files would be decipherable.
When you are finished, press the button on the right of this popup, to close the USB, ready to remove it.
Remove the USB. Either give the USB to your regional representative, or copy the files to a computer, and
email them to Bühler Sortex. They should be accompanied by an explanation of the problem, and an outline of
what product you are sorting.
Page 49
Hardware
Software Versions
A Bühler Sortex engineer may also want you to check Software Versions, in the Settings menu. This
opens a screen which lists the software on the various PCBs throughout the machine. It may be that a
proposed remedy requires a particular version of software to be installed. It helps the engineer to know what is
already there.
This information is already contained in the diagnostic information, downloaded to a USB in Diagnostic Trace
(see above).
Touchscreen Calibration
This is in the Calibration menu. It is designed to re-calibrate a screen, if the relationship between a
fingertouch and the button underneath has drifted apart.
This is not a trivial procedure, so it should only be undertaken if the screen has become very difficult to use.
Opening screen
The opening screen offers a number of options. For this
calibration, press Start.
Self Test
This screen carries out an internal test,
requiring no input from the user.
Press Next to continue.
Page 50
Diagnostics
Edge Test
Run your finger down the edge of the
screen, starting with the left edge.
On-screen, this edge is represented by a
string of red cells. The objective is to turn
them all green. You will not be able to
continue until that is done.
When the left edge is complete, the arrows
will then indicate the bottom edge, then the
right, then the top.
When all four edges have been completed,
press Next to continue.
49 Points
A cross will appear at the intersection of the
grid lines. Press here. The cross will then
move to the next intersection. Continue until
all 49 intersections have been identified.
Note: The screen is calibrating

according to your presses, so try to be
as accurate as possible.
Grid
This screen invites you to run your finger
down the lines in the grid. Each of them will
flash until you have completed it, and then
move to the next one – horizontally, then
vertically.
Note: The box at lower left should

say ‘Clear’. Press this to start this
screen again.
The box at lower right should say
‘Back’. Press this to return to the main
screen.
The screen is using this information to

assess the accuracy of the screen’s
calibration. It will show the results of this
test at the end (see right) along with
indications of where on the screen there
may be problems – although most of the
‘problems’ will be due to a wandering finger.
Page 51
Hardware
Other screens
Returning to the Main screen, there are more options
offered – though they are unlikely to be needed.
Get Information opens a screen with information about
the Graphics system. It is possible an engineer may
need this information, to resolve a problem.
ITO Test is the Self Test, described above.
Linearity Test is the Gris test, described above.
Debug give some very detailed information, which may,
possibly, be required by an engineer.

Spares List
Page 53
Spares
This book lists only the parts which you may have to replace, so it is not a comprehensive list of all machine
parts.
Many of these items can be found in the supply of spares which accompanied the new machine. If you use
items from this supply, you are advised to order replacements, as soon as possible. You may, of course, order
individual items, as and when required.
Some parts are listed here, but are not in the standard spares kits. These include items which are less likely to
wear out – but might be needed if damaged.
Some parts may only be appropriate for particular variants of the machine. In particular, note that some parts
are different for an S4 or an S6. To identify the number of the part originally supplied with the machine refer to
the `Sales Order Bill of Material Report', delivered with the machine.

Appendix – Ejector Configurations

The following tables include all the ejector configurations possible on the SORTEX S. Please note that the
configuration of a particular machine is set on manufacture, based on the customer’s order. It cannot be
changed in the field.
Explanation
Configuration This is the string, printed on a label in the Electronics cabinet and available on the UI
screen, which defines the setup of this particular machine.
SR This is the number of The order in which HR & SR appear in the string indicates the
Standard Resolution half- order in which they appear in the machine (left-to-right, facing
modules* in the machine the front of the machine). Note that the order is reversed,
HR when looking into the Electronics cabinet.
This is the number of High
Resolution half-modules* *Each chute is split into two.
in the machine
Valves This is the total number of ejector valves in the machine.
PCBs This is the number of Ejector Drive boards (BSSY-11230-001) used to drive these ejectors.
First This is the letter of the first (right-most) ejector drive board and the number of the first
ejector socket connected.
Last This is the letter of the last (left-most) ejector drive board and number of the last ejector
socket connected.
X Where an X is included in the configuration, this denotes a blank module. Its position in the
string denotes which module (left or right) is blanked. This will only apply to S3 or S5
machines.
←”S3-EJ X 06SR 00HR” “S3-EJ 00SR 06HR X”→
(01)(02) When a machine with a blank module is produced (i.e., S3 or S5), Bühler Sortex needs to
know what the likely upgrade requirements are, should the customer decide to add the
extra module, at a later date.
For example, “S3-EJ X 00(02)SR 06(06)HR” means that an S3-EJ X 00SR 06HR machine
has been delivered, but with the potential to become an S4-EJ 02SR 06HR. That means –
only a full module of SR ejectors can be added.
As with the actual configuration, this ‘virtual’ configuration cannot be changed in the field.
