Warnings -General Safety
A
WARNING
The safety alert symbol, black triangle with
white exclamation, is used to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards.
DANGER
Climbing, sitting, walking or riding on
conveyor will cause severe injury. KEEP OFF
CONVEYORS.
DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE CONVEYORS IN AN
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT.
WARNING
Gearmotors may be HOT.
DO NOT TOUCH Gearmotors.
WARNING
Exposed moving parts can cause severe
injury. LOCK OUT POWER before removing
guards or performing maintenance.
WARNING
Conveyors are not reversible. Reversing
creates pinch points which can cause severe
injury.
DO NOT REVERSE CONVEYORS.
WARNING
Dorner cannot control the physical
installation and application of conveyors.
Taking protective measures is the
responsibility of the user.
When conveyors are used in conjunction
with other equipment or as part of a multiple
conveyor system, CHECK FOR POTENTIAL
PINCH POINTS and other mechanical
hazards before system start-up.
WARNING
Loosening stand height or angle adjustment
screws may cause conveyor sections to drop
down, causing severe injury.
SUPPORT CONVEYOR SECTIONS PRIOR TO
LOOSENING STAND HEIGHT OR ANGLE

Proper Methods of Attachment to
Side Rails (2300 Series Only)
The 2300 DustPruf side rail is designed for self-drilling
attachment of brackets and accessories. This can be done in
two methods: self-drilling screws or pre-drill for standard
screws.
Self-Drilling Screws
All Dorner accessories are provided with 1/4-20 self-drilling
screws.
1. Locate and hold bracket (Figure 16, item 1) to side rail.
Hole should line up with notch (Figure 16, item 2) in
side rail.
Figure 16
Figure 16
2. With a cordless drill or equivalent install self-drilling
screws (Figure 16, item 3). Use high speed setting to
drill through side wall. Once the tap portion is started
switch drill power to a lower speed. Do not fully tighten
with drill.
3. Hand tighten the screws to secure (Figure 17).
Recommended torque is 150 in.lbs (17 Nm).

The DustPruf side rail will also accept standard screws. M6-
1.0 and 1/4-20 are acceptable. Strength grade 8 is
recommended.
1. Locate and hold bracket (Figure 18, item 1) to side rail.
Hole should line up with notch (Figure 18, item 2) in
side rail. Mark the hole locations with a center punch
(Figure 18, item 3) and remove the bracket.

Cover Mounted Controls with Photo Eye Option
Figure 28
Figure 28
1. Mount photo eye and reflector bracket to side of
conveyor close to zone to be sensed.
2. Connect power supply to AC input power, photo eye
plug, and to conveyor drive cover. Adjust conveyor
running direction switch to off (center) position. Photo
eye should have yellow LED lit.
3. Adjust reflector to align with red beam emitted from
photo eye and be at a 90 degree +/- 15 degree angle to
photo eye face. When reflector is properly aligned,
photo eye will have yellow and red LED lit. Green LED
indicates output relay is energized.
4. Adjust photo eye sensitivity by placing a sample object
in the beam. Unscrew clear cover on photo eye top and
slowly turn the gain adjustment clockwise (see caution
below concerning pot adjustment) until the green
(output) LED activates (assuming the sensor is in the
light operate mode). Note the position and remove the
sample object. Now continue turning the sensitivity
setting clockwise to find the position where the green
LED activates from the background reflection. Reset the
sensitivity midway between the two positions.
5. Photo eye comes preset to Light-On operation which
causes the conveyor to run when the sensed zone is clear
and stop when the sensed zone is blocked. For Dark-On
operation move selector to D.O. position (Figure 28).
6. Select conveyor running direction with directional
switch (Figure 26, item 1). If Dark-On operation is
selected, temporarily block photo eye to energize
conveyor.
7. Select conveyor speed with speed control knob
(Figure 26, item 2).

CAUTION
Adjustment pots are 3/4 turn devices. Any
resistance encountered while adjusting these
pots indicates you have reached the

Removal of Belt Links
1. Choose one link on either end of the conveyor to
remove belt pin. Locate end of rod without retaining
feature (Figure 38, item 1).

WARNING
Exposed moving parts can cause severe
injury. LOCK OUT POWER before removing
guards or performing maintenance.
NOTE
The Modular Belt Conveyor is designed to
operate with minimal belt tension. Conveyor
will come with proper amount of belt sag at
drive end of conveyor belt. See Figure 36. As
belt stretches, it may be necessary to remove
links to avoid too much belt sag. See Figure
37.
WARNING
Operating conveyor with belt sag beyond
maximum shown in Figure 37 will create belt
pinch points which can cause injury.
REMOVE BELT LINKS IF MAXIMUM SAG IS
REACHED
IMPORTANT
You may need to slightly raise the underside
of the conveyor belt to properly drive pin out
of slots.
