Section 2: Quick Start-up

Quick Start is intended to help you in starting up your Digital Dosing feeder quickly and easily. Please refer to the manual to go into greater detail.

Unpacking:

1.Unpack box, making sure all parts indicated on packing list are included.

2.Check all parts and equipment for any damage sustained during shipment.

3.If any damage is noted, contact manufacturer for replacement or service.

4.Make sure the following are present before proceeding:

;Power source 110V/220V

;Proper mounting flange adapter for the feed throat

;Dry (ZERO VOLTAGE) contact that closes during screw recovery of IMM

;Gram scale to measure weight of additive material

Mounting:

2.Mount the complete unit, including dosing hopper full of material, on the feed throat (may need an adapter for feed throat).

3.Identify the motor drive connector (Amp connector-black) and connect to motor.

4.Identify the communication cable (DB9 plug-silver) and connect to DB9 connector under motor drive assembly.

5.Identify power cord (110V) and plug into outlet.

6.INJECTION MOLDING: Identify the cycle/run cable (2-conductor cable-gray) for connection to a dry (ZERO VOLTAGE) contact that closes during screw recovery cycle of IMM.

7.EXTRUSION: Identify the input cable (2-conductor cable-gray) for connection to 0- 10Vdc or 0-20mA signal that indicates rpm of extruder.

Recipe Setup For Injection Molding:

1.

Turn power switch to ON position.

2.

Press Input to

display #1, “Additive %”. Using arrow keys, set additive

 

ratio.
