1 Introduction

1.1 Using this manual

These instructions form part of the Grader User's Manual. All comments, warnings and
safety instructions in the Grader User's Manual therefore also apply to this option. Before
you start operating the machine and before you perform any maintenance work at a later
stage, read through the Grader User's Manual and these instructions carefully.

Warning:
It is important that everyone working on the machine is thoroughly acquainted
with the contents of this manual and particularly with the safety regulations in
the next chapter.

1.2 Other documentation

A user’s manual is provided with every machine. The user’s manual is located under a
separate tab in this manual.

1.2.2 Instructions
Instructions are provided with all extra devices. The Instructions are located under a
separate tab in this manual.

1.2.3 Parts catalogue

The drawings of the components of the options supplied can be found in the Grader

1.3 Safety
The general safety instructions given in the manual for your grader apply to thisunit.

Warning:
Read your Grader User’s manual before you start operating the machine, in particular
the section on Safety.

1.3.1 Position main switch and emergency stops

Check the positions of the main switch and the emergency stops in the Grader User's
Manual.

1.4 Technology

1.4.1 Names of major parts

Fig. 1 Positioning of the CSUs

1 Crack sensors 2 Crack Sensor Units (CSU)
The Rollover Crack Detector has been developed for the SanovoGraders.
It contains sets of Crack Sensor Units. Each CSU contains a number of sensors, each
fitted with an ultra-sensitive piezo element. For the positioning of the CSUs in the grader,
see Fig. 1.
The eggs are rolled over the sensors by the transport bars. Invisible fresh cracks and
visible old cracks are detected by the piezo elements by means of irregular vibrations.
Communication wit the CSUs takes place by means of the SanovoEtherCAT network.
Various settings can selected by using the touch-screen on the grader's operating panel
and in the EggSort software.
Note:
The situation described above applies to a 6-row system. For a 12-row system and an
18-row system the Crack Detector consists of two or three 6-row Crack Detector
systems.

1.5 Settings
The software provides two settings for the crack detector:
• General sensitivity
• Grade limit settings

1.5.1 General sensitivity

1) Press here and the “Maintenance Menu” appears

2) Press here and the “Service Menu” appears
3) Press here and the “Service Menu 2” appears
4) Press here and the “Service Menu 3” appears

Fig. 2 Grading programme

Press the “CRACK DETECTOR”

button

Fig. 3 Service Menu 3 screen

 User’s Instruction Roll over Crackdetector

This is used to turn the Crack

Detector “ON/OFF”.
If “OFF” is pressed, a number
pad is displayed for adjusting the
sensitivity.
The current sensitivity setting.

Fig. 4 Crack detector settings display

Use the number pad to adjust the

sensitivity of the Crack Detector.
The sensitivity has its own
maximum and minimum settings,
shown on the number pad.
Press the "ENT" button to accept
the new value.

Fig. 5 Crack detector settings numpad display

In this screen the sensor sensitivity can be set between 140 (very sensitive) and 255
(very insensitive). This is done with one sensitivity setting. The individual sensors are
normalised over 100 egg readings during the entire time. This means that each sensor
will be equally sensitive.

Note:
If a sensor detects a crack 10 consecutive times, or does not contact an egg 10
consecutive times, it is automatically disabled. The disabled sensor can only be
reactivated if there have been 10 good egg consecutive contacts.

1.5.2 Grade limit setting

Start the EggSort software

1) Select “Grading program” and press Enter

2) Select “Edit” and press Enter
3) Now press “F4”

Fig. 6 Eggsort screens

Fig. 7 Grade limit setting

In this screen the crack quantity can be adjusted. This refers to how many sensors see
an egg as a crack. There are 30 sensors in total, but anything above 15 is rounded down
to 15.

8
 User’s Instruction Roll over Crackdetector

The settings can be adjusted per sorting grade.

• Green: crack is seen as a good egg
• Yellow: crack eggs that can be used for Excrack
Red: is always marked as crack

Note:
Excrack eggs are eggs that are initially marked as crack. The Excrack eggs can be
marked as a normal egg in its weight grade. To do this by using the arrow keys to the
appropriate field. With the "+/-" buttons can increase these values and be reduced.

Fig. 8 Grade limit setting

At the bottom of the screen behind the term 'Crack' there is another limit. With this it is
possible to remove very large crack eggs through the hatches (if available). The hatches
must be activated with the HMI on the grader.
Any eggs with a crack figure 11 and above will then go through the hatches.

1.5.3 Activating the hatches

Go to the “Maintenance Menu”
screen

Buttons light up green when

pressed. Eggs marked as Crack,
Dirt or Leaker are removed
through the drop gates.

available.
Counters for relevant “Drop
Gate” are reset.

1.6 Maintenance

1.6.1 Cleaning

Fig. 12 Crack Sensor Units (CSU)

Clean the CSUs regularly with an air pistol. Stubborn dirt in the CSUs may also be
carefully removed with water

Warning:
Do not blow directly onto the sensors at close range with a high air pressure. There is a
risk that the dirt may then be blown past the sensors and into the CSU.

1.6.2 Changing the CSUs

Fig. 13 Crack Sensor Units (CSU)

1 Rails lock bolt 5 CSU connect
2 Crack rail unit left (1x) 6 Crack rail unit middle (17x)
3 CSU fixing bolt 7 Crack rail unit right (1x)
4 Crack Sensor Units (CSU) 36x 8 Shaft crack mounting (2x)
1 Switch off the power supply and make sure that no-one can switch it on again.
2 Remove the connector (5) from the CSU.
3 Loosen the two fixing bolts (3) on the CSU.
4 The CSU can now be removed downwards.
5 Position the new CSU.
6 Retighten the two fixing bolts (3).
7 Attach the connector (5).

1.6.1 Changing the rail units

Fig. 14 Crack Sensor Units (CSU)

1 Rails lock bolt 5 CSU connect
2 Crack rail unit left (1x) 6 Crack rail unit middle (17x)
3 CSU fixing bolt 7 Crack rail unit right (1x)
4 Crack Sensor Units (CSU) 36x 8 Shaft crack mounting (2x)
The rail units can also be changed. There are three versions of these rail unit. On each
side the left and right version on which one CSU is mounted. Two CSUs are always
positioned on the rail units positioned between them. The number of rail units will depend
on the type of machine, 6-row, 12-row or 18-row.
1 Switch off the power supply and make sure that no-one can switch it on again.
2 Remove the connector(s) (5) from the CSU.
3 Press the chain out of the guide strips on both sides of the transporter. This
procedure requires two people.
4 Bend the chain to the outside and remove a number of transport bars.
5 Loosen the two fixing bolts (1) from the rail units.
6 The rail unit can now be removed upwards.
7 Position the new rail unit in the shaft crack mounting recess (8).
8 Retighten the fixing bolts (1).
9 Reposition the transport bars. Take care to place the pressure pins on the transport
bars in the correct direction.
