CAUTION: This unit contains Rare Earth Magnets.
Strong magnetic fields are present at assembly.
CAUTION - STRONG MAGNET
This equipment includes one or more extremely
powerful magnetic circuits. The magnetic field may
be much stronger than the Earth’s background
field at a distance several times the largest
dimension of the equipment.
• If you use a heart pacemaker or similar device
you must never approach the equipment
because your device may malfunction in the
magnetic field with consequences up to and
including death.
• To avoid serious pinch‑type injuries caused by
objects attracted to the magnet, keep all steel
and iron objects well away from the equipment.
Do not allow hands, fingers and other body
parts to be caught between the equipment and
nearby steel or iron objects.
• Keep credit cards, computer disks and
other magnetic storage devices away from
the equipment because magnetically stored
information may be corrupted by the
magnetic field.
• Keep electronic devices, such as computers
or monitors, away from the equipment because
exposure to the magnetic field may result
in malfunction or permanent damage to
such devices.
Contact Eriez if you have a question regarding
these precautions.
3. (a) During tuning, if a hammering or striking noise
occurs when the unit is turned off and on quickly,
the displacement is well in excess of normal.
Whether striking or not, if the displacement
exceeds the normal range for that particular size
of tray (see Tuning Guide-General Information),
it must be reduced by substituting a tuning spring
leaf or leaves of less stiffness, or by subtracting
one or more leaves, until approximately normal
full voltage displacement is attained. Then
use the controller for fine or variable control of
displacement and feed rate.
(b) During tuning if the displacement at full
voltage is below the nominal range for that
particular size tray, and greater displacement
is desired, increase the tuning spring stiffness
by substituting leaves of greater stiffness or by
adding more leaves.
TUNING FOR DIFFERENT CONDITIONS
OF TRAY LOADING
Units with Eriez-built trays are factory tuned for normal
displacement with light loading (light head load, light
materials, limited depth of flow of heavier materials).
Normal displacement for HD-46, HD-56 and HD66 is
approximately 3/16" (4.7 mm). Ordinarily this tuning
will not need to be changed. In no case, however,
should the unit be permitted to deflect more than 3/16"
(4.7 mm) without load for HD-46, HD-56 and HD-66.
CAUTION
A small amount of striking during tuning is
permissible, but must not be allowed during
regular operation since damage to the feeder
can result.
NOTE: The front spring stack always remains the
same on the feeder and should not be altered when
retuning the unit. The following applies:
FEEDER DRIVE ONLY (LESS TRAY SUPPLIED)
If a feeder is shipped without a tray, the standard
rear spring combination for the feeder is listed below.
These feeders will need to be tuned to the tray.
Refer to TUNING FOR NON-STANDARD TRAY section.
