or a zone wake-up signal by simply connecting an auxiliary input cable to the
auxiliary port and then wiring the two wires of the cable to any "dry contact"
type switching device, such as a toggle switch or relay. No other components
are required. The default setting is for a zone stop signal. To use the signal
for slug input or zone wake-up, program the zone controller as detailed in the
"EZLogic Generation 3 Component Manual."
®
Note! Do not apply a voltage to these wires, or wire more than one zone con-
troller to any one contact.
Closing the zone stop contacts will place the EZLogic
late" mode. The next carton to activate the controller will be stopped and held
in the "stop zone" until the contact is opened.
The zone stop feature is used on all conveyors to control the release of product
from the discharge zone. Other zones may be wired for this feature at any
time.
SLUG MODE CONNECTIONS
The EZLogic accumulation system provides two modes of accumula-
®
tion which are user-selectable: Singulation mode and Slug mode. (For
descriptions of the sequence of operation for each mode, refer to the
"Sequence of Operation" section on page 7.) The desired mode of oper-
ation may be programmed into the accumulation modules at installation
(refer to the "EZLogic Generation 3 Component Manual" for details). If
®
the users wishes to be able to alternate between singulation mode and
slug mode "on-the-fly," an optional Auxiliary Input Cable (Hytrol P/N
032.563) may be used. The default mode is singulation mode. If the
user desires to operate the conveyor in slug mode, or if the user wishes
to be able to alternate between the two modes as needed, the following
procedures should be used.
SLUG MODE ONLY
Program the zone controllers to operate in "slug mode only" as detailed
in the "EZLogic Generation 3 Component Manual".
®
SELECTABLE SINGULATION/SLUG
1. Install an Auxiliary Input Cable (Hytrol P/N 032.563) on any zone
controller of the conveyor. The cable attaches to the auxiliary port on
the controller (see Figure 8B).
2. Program the zone controller to accept a slug signal. (Refer to the
EZLogic Generation 3 Component Manual for details.)
3. Connect the two wires of the Auxiliary Input Cable to any "dry contact" type
switching device, such as a toggle switch or relay.
4. With the switch contacts open, the conveyor will be in singulation mode.
When the switch is closed, the conveyor is in slug mode.
Note: Do not apply a voltage to these wires, or wire more than one
module to any one contact.

• Pressure Adjustment

The Model ABEZ is equipped with spring-loaded pressure frames to apply
the driving force between the belt and tread rollers. Although the conveyor
has been adjusted at the factory, it may be necessary to make field adjust-
ments from time to time. If the belt is moving but the tread rollers are not
turning, follow the steps below to adjust each zone.
1. With Zone Driving, make sure pressure frame is set properly (Figure
8C).
2. If not, tighten guide bolt only enough to bring guide stop in contact with
bed spacer (Detail A). Tightening beyond this point will not increase drive.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to adjust conveyor until it has been test run.
See trouble Shooting Guide for definition and solution to problems.

OPERATION

• Conveyor Start-Up

Before conveyor is turned on, check for foreign objects that may have been left
inside conveyor during installation. These objects could cause serious damage
during start-up.
After conveyor has been turned on and is operating, check motors, reduc-
ers, and moving parts to make sure they are working freely.
CAUTION! Because of the many moving parts on the conveyor, all personnel
in the area of the conveyor need to be warned that the conveyor is about to be

MAINTENANCE

• Lubrication

The drive chain is pre-lubricated from the manufacturer by a hot dipping
process that ensures total lubrication of all components. However, con-
tinued proper lubrication will greatly extend the useful life of every drive
chain.
Drive Chain lubrication serves several purposes including:
• Protecting against wear of the pin-bushing joint
• Lubricating chain-sprocket contact surfaces
• Preventing rust or corrosion
For normal operating environments, lubricate every 2080 hours of operation or every
6 months, whichever comes first. Lubricate with a good grade of non-detergent
petroleum or synthetic lubricant (i.e., Mobile 1 Synthetic). For best results, always
use a brush to generously lubricate the chain. The proper viscosity of lubricant greatly
affects its ability to flow into the internal areas of the chain. Refer to the table below
Ambient Temperature

Degrees F

40-100 30
100-120 40
be best, under these conditions, to develop a custom lubrication schedule for your
specific application. A custom lubrication schedule may be developed by inspect-
ing the drive chain on regular time intervals for sufficient lubrication. Once the time
interval is determined at which the chain is not sufficiently lubricated, lubricate it and
schedule the future lubrication intervals accordingly.
