This easily activated switch bar MUST BE RELEASED when power is turned on, then pressed and held to enable the motion switch functions. Releasing the PTO during normal operation causes the controller to send neutral commands to the receiver or decoder.
Principle of operation:
The target receiver/decoder is controlled by a remote toggle controller. Provided the correct address and frequency is programmed into the controller, the receiver/decoder receives signals from the controller using a UHF radio link. The signal is picked up by the antenna and passed on to the receiver. If the signal is the correct frequency and passes all required data tests, the signal is passed on to the decoder. The decoder compares the address code of the signal to its own address code. If the signal’s address code does not match its address code, it is ignored and a message is displayed on a system status display located in the receiver/decoder unit. If the address code is correct, the decoder processes the message and energizes and de-energizes the appropriate relay mounted on the relay output boards. The relay output boards provides a mounting location for all the relays in the system. The relays control the high current loads required by the controlled machine. Mounted next to each relay is a fuse to provide over current protection. All remote wiring for the output relays takes place at the relay output boards. During operation, the microprocessor on the decoder board resets multiple watchdog timer circuits whenever valid messages are received and decoded. If the microprocessor fails to reset the watchdog timers, the timer circuits shut down and de-activate all relay outputs. The decoder microprocessor requires continuously valid transmitted signals to be received and decoded or all relay outputs functions will be de-activated.
System status display and LED indicators:
A two character LED display is mounted on the decoder circuit board. A clear plastic window in the cover of the gold box provides for viewing of the display without removing the cover.
The red relay status LEDs energize whenever the corresponding relay is energized.
This red LED indicates the presence of DC power on the receiver circuit board.
The green Carrier Detect LED on the receiver circuit board indicates that the receiver is receiving an RF signal.
This yellow LED on the receiver circuit board indicates that the message received contains data.
This orange LED on the receiver circuit board indicates that the receiver has synchronized with the incoming message.
This red LED is located on the receiver circuit board underneath the EMI/RFI shield. This Led lights when the receiver frequency synthesizer is unable to lock onto the required frequency.

IMPORTANT! During normal operation the Carrier Detect, Data, and Q-Sync
LEDs will flash when a signal is received from the controller. The
flashing will match the flashing of the green transmit LED on the controller.

The feeder breaker is normally operated in “AUTO” mode. While in “AUTO” mode, the belt sequence switch is active (the outby belt must be running for the feeder breaker to run).
After reading the previous descriptions and locating each control, the operator is ready to operate the feeder breaker. An experienced operator should monitor a new operator’s indoctrination to the starting procedure.
WARNING! The machine should not be started if it’s core temperature is below 30° F. If the machine is started at extremely low temperatures pump and pump motor failure could occur.
IMPORTANT! Before start-up, check that daily maintenance has been performed on the machine.
1. Operate all primary and secondary valve bank (if equipped) control levers to ensure that they are free and in neutral position.
2. Position the primary valve bank handle neutral start lock guard over the valve handles so that they cannot be operated. Make sure the magnetic contactors are fully seated and are in direct contact.
IMPORTANT! The machine will not start unless all valve control levers on the primary valve bank are in neutral position and the guard is fully closed, engaging the magnetic switch.
3. Check conveyor for any foreign material or objects.
4. Check that all other personnel are clear of the machine.
WARNING! Before start-up, check the conveyor for foreign material or objects and check that all other personnel are clear of the machine.
5. Set the main circuit breaker using the lever located on the door of the starter enclosure by first moving the lever to the “RESET” position and then to the “ON” position.
6. Turn the “MAN/OFF/AUTO” selector switch located on the cover of starter enclosure to the “AUTO” position, Turn the TRAM/OFF/
CONV selector switch to “CONV”, and turn the FWD/OFF/REV selector switch to “FWD”.
7. Push the “ACKNOWLEDGE ALARMS” button once to engage the
MCR. Press the button a second time to clear any faults.
8. Engage the “START BREAKER” pushbutton located on the cover of the starter enclosure. An alarm will sound for a preset amount of time and then the breaker motor will start.
9. The conveyor chain can be started either by the “Conveyor start” push button on the electrical case, or by the photo eye senors. ________________________________________________________________

If the machine needs to be operated while the outby belt is off (belt sequence switch by-passed), start the machine in “MANUAL” mode.
After reading the previous descriptions and locating each control, the operator is ready to operate the feeder breaker. An experienced operator should monitor a new operator’s indoctrination to the starting procedure.
WARNING! The machine should not be started if it’s core temperature is below 30° F. If the machine is started at extremely low temperatures pump and pump motor failure could occur.

6. Turn the “MAN/OFF/AUTO” selector switch located on the cover of starter enclosure to the “MAN” position, Turn the TRAM/OFF/
CONV selector switch to “CONV”, and turn the FWD/OFF/REV selector switch to “FWD”.
7. Push the “ACKNOWLEDGE ALARMS” button once to engage the
MCR. Press the button a second time to clear any faults.
8. Engage the “START BREAKER” pushbutton located on the cover of the starter enclosure. An alarm will sound for a preset amount of time and then the pick break motor will start.
The conveyor will start after a pre-determined time period has elapsed.
