JOB SET FUNCTION
The Job Set Function screen is designed to
break down a set number of pieces into to
smaller batches. For this example: you to
have 200 pieces that need to be broken
down into sets of 5.
1. Set the Batch Size to 5 on the Run
Screen.
2. Press the ‘Total Count’ screen and
set it to 200. Press enter.
3. Press the center on/off button to ‘ON’
4. The circle above the on/off button will illuminate yellow during a job.
5. Cycle the feeder manually or by the trigger sensor.
6. The ‘Count to Total’ screen will count down showing how many pieces are left to
complete the job.
7. The ‘Batch Count’ screen will represent how many sets of 5 have been counted. This is
a mirror image on the ‘Counter Screen’.
8. The ‘Actual Count’ represents how many pieces in each 5 count set have been counted
out. Most likely, the count will happen too quickly to keep up, but in the event of a mis-
feed or miss-count, the ‘Actual Count’ will represent how many pieces in the 5 count set
have been completed. This count is a mirror image of the count on the ‘Run Screen’.
9. The yellow light will have turned blue when the total count is completed.
10. Press and hold the ‘Batch Reset’ to reset the ‘Batch Count’ to ‘0’.
11. Turn the on/off button to ‘OFF’ when not using this function.
At the end of a job, the yellow reset button and red stop button will illuminate and the
yellow light on the screen will turn blue. This means the job is complete. To reset, turn the
Job Set Function to ‘OFF’ then hit the ‘Reset Button’. The red and yellow button will turn off and
the green ready button will illuminate. You can then run in standard mode or start a new job.

MAIN SET-UP SCREEN
MAIN SET-UP SCREEN
1. Slow Down CNT: Slow Down Count is used to automatically slow down on the X to last
piece of the Batch Size, where X is the valued entered. Typically set to “0” or “1”. When
running a 1 count or 2 count, it is recommended to set the value to “0”. If running a
count of 3 or higher it is highly recommended the Slow Down Count value be set to 1. At
the maximum speeds of the XM High Speed feeder, the motor can coast on the last
piece, and for shorter pieces an extra piece can sometimes be dispensed. The Slow
Down Count is used to ensure the correct count is provided, and that the first piece of
the next Batch Size is staged in the correct position within the discharge of the feeder.
Press the value/number button to bring up keypad. Enter required value, press enter to
save and return to Main Set-up Screen.
2. Trigger Delay: The Trigger Delay is the time between receiving the Trigger Signal and
the time the feeder begins to feed. If you want to change where in the pocket the feeder
starts feeding, rather than move feeder or trigger photocell, you can add a Trigger delay
time. Press adjacent time button to bring up keypad. Enter required delay time, press
enter to save and return to Main Set-up Screen.

3. Skip Flight: When running on a lugged/flighted conveyor you can add a Skip Count to
miss desired lug pockets. When set to “0”/zero the system will feed or drop into every
pocket. When set to 1 the system will feed/drop into the first pocket, then skip one
pocket, then feed the next pocket and repeat sequence. If Skip Flight is set to 2, then
system will feed first pocket and skip the next 2, and etc. Press the value/number
button to bring up keypad. Enter required value, press enter to save and return to Main
Set-up Screen.
4. Pause/Resume ON/OFF: Pause/Resume can operate in feeder only or with the
dropper on. When Pause/Resume mode is turned ON, press the cycle button to start the
first batch, then Feeder will automatically “Pause”at the end of the first batch for the
preset amount of Pause Time, then Automatically Resume the next batch. This creates
a gap on the shingling conveyor notifying the operator where the batches begin and end.
Press the ON/OFF button to toggle between ON and OFF. The pause time can be set
by using the pause/resume input ( #5 below ).
5. Pause/Resume Time: When Pause/Resume mode is turned ON, sets amount of
Pause time between end of a batch and the automatic starting of the next batch. Press
adjacent time button to bring up keypad. Enter required Pause time, press enter to save
and return to Main Set-up Screen.
6. Up/Down Screen Arrow Buttons: When pressed moves to the next screen.

DROPPER SCREEN
If You Did Not Purchase an Automatic Dropper,
Keep This Function In The ‘OFF’ Position And Disregard This Screen.
OVERVIEW OF DROPPER OPERATION:
1. Adjust Dropper Side Guide Plates for width of the product. Allow 1/8 to ¼ inch clearance
on each side for best operational results.
2. Adjust Dropper Back Stop Plate to length of product. Back stop plate is factory preset to
vibrate back and forth with each product fed. This helps to absorb energy from the
product and the vibration helps to square up the stack. Ensure back stop plate in the full
back position is inside the side guides of the conveyor below, otherwise product might
land on the side guide when dropped causing a jam. Back stop plate also holds the full
extend sensor. Dropper forks will extend until this sensor is blocked then they will stop.
3. Position dropper over the side guides of the lugged infeed, and verify the fixed, non-
adjustable dropper plate below the feeder discharge is inside of the side guide below,
otherwise product might land on the side guide when dropped causing a jam. Dropper
will need to be adjusted in and out when conveyor side guides are adjusted in and out.

4. Select Small Product or Large Product Deflector plate and install on Feeder Discharge
nose using screws provided. Brass hold down guide fingers should not hang
substantially below the dropper forks.
5. Turn Dropper ON in the Dropper Screen. See Dropper Screen settings below for details.
6. Make sure Dropper Cover is closed. Dropper and Feeder will not operate with cover
open. Dropper will operate in manual mode with the cover open.
7. When Dropper is turned ON, then when a Trigger Signal is received or the Cycle button
is pressed: the dropper forks will retract, then start to extend, then the feeder will start
next Batch Size and continue until Batch Size is complete. Sequence will repeat with
each new Trigger Signal or push of the Cycle button. When Dropper is Turned OFF,
Feeder will run as normal.

1. Dropper Ext Delay: (.01 - .99) Dropper
Extend delay is used when the dropper
forks are full in/back (forks not showing)
and it is the delay between when the forks
are full back and before forks Extend back
out. Normally adjusted for greater delay
time when accumulating large stack
heights to allow time for stack to drop
before extending the dropper forks. Press
adjacent time button to bring up keypad.
Enter required delay time, press enter to save and return to Dropper Screen.
2. Feeder Delay Time: (.01-.99) Feeder
delay time between when the dropper
forks start to extend back out and the time
when the feeder begins to feed the next
batch. Normally adjusted so the first sheet
of the batch arrives in the dropper at the
same time the forks are fully extended.
Press adjacent time button to bring up
keypad. Enter required delay time, press
enter to save and return to Dropper
Screen.
3. Dropper On/Off Button: Press ON/OFF
