Adjustment procedures ___________________________________________ Underspeed sensor calibration To calibrate the underspeed sensor (Fig. 53): 1. Start the feeder breaker (see Startup procedure in this chapter). 2. Start the conveyor belt and run at the slowest normal operating speed expected. IMPORTANT! Calibration should be performed with the conveyor belt running the slowest normal operating speed expected to avoid nuisance shutdowns. 3. Turn Speed 1 control switch left (ccw) until it stops (approximately 7 o’ clock). 4. Hold test/set switch (SW1) in the set position to engage relay (RY1). 5. Turn Speed 1 control switch right (cw) slowly until critical speed LED (LED 3) stays lit continuously. IMPORTANT! For all speed adjustments, the critical speed LED (LED 3) must stay on continuously. 6. Continue turning Speed 1 control right (cw) until margin LED (LED 4) begins to blink. a. The control relay will drop out with the above at a 15% slow down. b. For a 20% margin, adjust the Speed 1 control so that the margin light (LED 4) is continuously on. c.
For a 10% margin, turn the Speed 1 control left (ccw) until the margin light (LED 4) turns off.
7. After the relay status LED is illuminated, return the test/set switch to the run position. 8. A momentary test position is provided to simulate the loss of sensor signal, which releases the relay. 9. Clean any accumulated dirt and grease from around the sensor (Fig. 54) to avoid sensor interference.
