1. Introduction
Thank you for your selection of our Piezo Feeder Controller, a digital controller for piezo feeder
(“Controller”).
The piezo feeder is a high-efficiency, energy-saving parts feeder driven by piezoelectric elements.
In combination with the dedicated digital controller, the Controller can be operated easily and
efficiently without requiring any difficult adjustment. Before connecting the piezo feeder and
performing subsequent adjustment, read the Manual carefully to ensure proper use of the excellent
functions of the piezoelectric parts feeder.
2. Before Using
Before unpacking, be careful not to have an impact or vibration on the packing.
Unpack, and check the following:
(1) Isn’t there any damage caused during transport?
(2) Are the rating, capacity and model on the nameplate exactly what you have ordered?
If there is any problem, contact the dealer.
3. Precautions for Safety
Be sure to read the Manual carefully before the installation, operation, maintenance, checkup, etc.
of the Controller to ensure your familiarity with the Controller, safety information and precautions.
In the Manual, the safety precautions are divided into “DANGER” and “CAUTION” according to
their severities.
DANGER
If the Controller is handled improperly, a dangerous situation could be
caused, and the possibility of death or injury is assumed.
CAUTION
If the Controller is handled improperly, a dangerous situation could be
caused, and the possibility of medium or minor injury or partial damage is
assumed.

3/36
DANGER
・Do not service the Controller in the Power-ON status. To avoid an electric shock, be sure to turn
OFF the power supply before starting the service.
・Do not disassemble, remodel or repair the Controller, or an electric shock, a fire or injury could be
caused. For repair, ask the dealer.
・Do not remove the front cover while the Controller is in the Power-ON status, or an electric
shock could be caused.
・Do not put or insert anything in or into the Controller, or an electric shock or a fire could be
caused.
・Do not use the Controller near explosive or flammable gas, or a fire could be caused.
・Do not splash water or liquid, or an electric shock or a fire could be caused.
・If smoke, odor or abnormal noise is emitted or other abnormality is detected, shut down the
Controller immediately. If the Controller is used in the abnormal status, a fire could be caused.
Contact the dealer.
・If the Controller is not operated for a long time, shut down the Controller. If the Controller is left
live as it is, a fire could be caused.
・Connect the power cable and the output cable as instructed in the Manual to avoid an electric
shock and a fire.
・Do not forcedly bend, pull or pinch the power cable or the output cable, or an electric shock or a
fire could be caused.
・Ground the earth terminal and the ground prescribed portions without fail, or an electric shock
could be caused. When working on grounding to a high position or a shaky stand, because fall or
tumble could be caused conditionally, take measures to prevent fall or tumble.
・Do not conduct megger testing for any terminals other than the input terminal.
CAUTION
・Do not use the Controller for an electromagnetic parts feeder or the like.
・Do not turn ON/OFF the power supply frequently, or failure could be caused.
・Do not start/stop the vibrator with an electromagnetic contactor or the like on the output side,
or failure could be caused.
・Do not perform welding work on the feeder side in the Power-ON status.
・Do not perform welding work on the feeder side when the feeder and the Controller are in the
connected status.
・Do not remove the nameplate, the seal, or the like.
・When installing the Controller, hold and fix it firmly and properly.
・Do not transport or carry the Controller in the piled-up status, even in the packed status, or they
could fall, causing injury.
・Do not place the Controller outdoors, in a humid place or in a place with excessive temperature
change.
・Do not pile up the Controller two-tired or more, even in the packed status.
・When disposing of the Controller, dispose it properly as general industrial waste.

6. Input/Output Connections
1) Vibratory feeder drive connection
Confirm that the power supply is in the OFF status. Then, connect the output cable of the
controller to the feeder cable of the piezo feeder.
The connector wire colors should be identified as follows:
※1: Do not connect any feeder other than
the piezo feeder made by Sanki.
※2: Do not operate with no load.
※3: Be sure to ground the feeder.
2) Power source connection
Connect the power cable to the single-phase power source.
Do not turn ON the power supply until the whole wiring work is completed.
※1: Be sure to connect to the utility power source.
※2: Be sure to ground the controller.
※3: Do not perform the ON/OFF control on the input power supply side.
3) Vibration sensor connection
Connect the vibration sensor to perform constant amplitude control.
(1) Mounting of vibration sensor
Fix the vibration sensor (sold separately) onto the top of the vibrating body of the feeder or
the horizontal surface of the vibration part of the bowl chute or the like (in such a way that
the arrow printed on the sensor looks horizontal) with M4 bolt. In mounting the vibration
sensor, be careful not to allow the vibration sensor body and the feeder cable to interfere
with other parts. In determining the mounting direction of the vibration sensor, it should be
noted that the lead wire side of the vibration sensor corresponds to the parts transfer
direction.

(2) Connection of the vibration sensor
Firmly connect one end of the input cable (P4 cord, accessory) of the vibration sensor to the
connector on the board and connect the other end of the same to the vibration sensor
(KS-3).
※1. To connect the vibration sensor input cable, the operation panel has to be detached.
Confirm the power-OFF status, and then detach the operation panel.
Note that the operation panel is connected to the controller main body with a
connecting wire. When attaching/detaching the operation panel, carefully watch out for
the connecting wire to avoid disconnection or pinching.
※2. Limit the total length of the cable between the controller and the feeder (vibration
sensor) to 4m.
To extend the cable, be sure to use the dedicated cable of our make.
In wiring each cable, detach the wiring from the power cable.
4) Overflow sensor connection
Connect the overflow sensor to the terminal of the overflow sensor input cable (P3 cord).
The connection enabled sensor can use the NPN open collector output or the PNP open
collector output.
Before connecting the sensor, change the jumper pin settings.
