INSTALLATION

• Conveyor Set-Up

1 . Mark a chalk line on floor to locate center of the conveyor (Floor Mounted
Conveyors) .
2 . Place the drive section in position .
3 . Install remaining sections placing end without support on extend support
of previous section (Figure 5C) . Check "Match Mark" Numbers to see that
adjoining sections are in proper sequence
4 . Fasten sections together with splice plates and pivot plates (Figure 5C) .
Hand tighten bolts only .
5 . Check to see that conveyor is level across width and length of unit . Adjust
supports and ceiling hangers as necessary .
6 . Install electrical controls and wire motor .
7 . Install and track belt per instructions on Belt Installation and Belt
Tracking .

• Electrical Equipment

CONTROLS
Electrical Code: All motor controls and wiring shall conform to the National
Electrical Code (Article 670 or other applicable articles) as published by
the National Fire Protection Association and as approved by the American
Standards Institute, Inc .
CONTROL STATIONS
A) Control stations should be so arranged and located that the operation of
the equipment is visible from them, and shall be clearly marked or labeled to
indicate the function controlled .
B) A conveyor which would cause injury when started shall not be started
until employees in the area are alerted by a signal or by a designated person
that the conveyor is about to start .
When a conveyor would cause injury when started and is automatically
controlled or must be controlled from a remote location, an audible device
shall be provided which can be clearly heard at all points along the conveyor
where personnel may be present . The warning device shall be actuated by
the controller device starting the conveyor and shall continue for a required
period of time before the conveyor starts . A flashing light or similar visual
warning may be used in conjunction with or in place of the audible device if
more effective in particular circumstances .
Where system function would be seriously hindered or adversely affected
by the required time delay or where the intent of the warning may be misin-
terpreted (i .e ., a work area with many different conveyors and allied devices),
clear, concise, and legible warning shall be provided . The warning shall
indicate that conveyors and allied equipment may be started at any time, that
danger exists, and that personnel must keep clear . The warnings shall be
provided along the conveyor at areas not guarded by position or location .
C) Remotely and automatically controlled conveyors, and conveyors where
operator stations are not manned or are beyond voice and visual contact from
drive areas, loading areas, transfer points, and other potentially hazardous
locations on the conveyor path not guarded by location, position, or guards,
shall be furnished with emergency stop buttons, pull cords, limit switches, or
similar emergency stop devices .
All such emergency stop devices shall be easily identifiable in the imme-
diate vicinity of such locations unless guarded by location, position, or guards .
Where the design, function, and operation of such conveyor clearly is not
hazardous to personnel, an emergency stop device is not required .
The emergency stop device shall act directly on the control of the con-
veyor concerned and shall not depend on the stopping of any other equip-
ment . The emergency stop devices shall be installed so that they cannot be
overridden from other locations .
D) Inactive and unused actuators, controllers, and wiring should be removed
from control stations and panel boards, together with obsolete diagrams, indi-
cators, control labels, and other material which serve to confuse the operator .

• Trouble Shooting

The following charts list possible problems that may occur in the operation of the TSPR .
TROUBLE
Gate will not move
Linear bearings slide section difficult
to pull out
CAUSE
1) Debris on gate
2) Gate latch locked in place
3) Bearing seized on shaft
1) Debris around rail and/or bearing .
2) Extension misaligned
3) Cam bearing and/or linear bearing failed
SAFETY DEVICES
A) All safety devices, including wiring of electrical safety devices, shall be
arranged to operate in a "Fail-Safe" manner, that is, if power failure or failure
of the device itself would occur, a hazardous condition must not result .
B) Emergency Stops and Restarts. Conveyor controls shall be so arranged
that, in case of emergency stop, manual reset or start at the location where
the emergency stop was initiated, shall be required of the conveyor(s) and
associated equipment to resume operation .
C) Before restarting a conveyor which has been stopped because of an
emergency, an inspection of the conveyor shall be made and the cause of
the stoppage determined . The starting device shall be locked out before any
attempt is made to remove the cause of stoppage, unless operation is neces-
sary to determine the cause or to safely remove the stoppage .
Refer to ANSI Z244 .1-1982, American National Standard for Personnel
Protection – Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources – Minimum Safety
Requirements and OSHA Standard Number 29 CFR 1910 .147 "The Control
of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) ."

MAINTENANCE

• How to Replace Rollers

1 . Locate the roller hex shaft from the bottom side of the center channel .
2 . Using a screwdriver, push the shaft along the axis of the roller toward the
outside of the TSPR .
3 . While pushing the shaft, place vertical pressure on the roller tube .
4 . When the shaft is through the center channel, the roller will be free to move
up and out of the mounting hole .
5 . To reinstall a new roller, place the "Hard" end of the roller shaft in the center
channel .
6 . Place a thin putty knife between the side channel and the opposite end of
the roller shaft .
7 . Pry the putty knife toward the center of the TSPR . This will press the "Soft"
end of the roller shaft into the roller .
8 . Slide the roller down until the shaft is close to the mounting hole .
9 . Slide the putty knife up and out allowing the roller shaft to extend into the
side channel .

• Replacing Linear Bearings

1 . Slide the extension out until it stops, then slide back inside 1 inch .
2 . Using a pair of pliers pull the roller shaft toward the center of the TSPR
section .
3 . While pulling the shaft, place vertical pressure on the roller tube .
4 . Slide the extension out onto the sawhorses exposing the Linear Bearings .
5 . Using 9/16" socket and ratchet, remove the bolts mounting the Linear
Bearing .
6 . Install the new Linear Bearing .
7 . With a person on both sides of the extension, slide the extension back into
the body of the TSPR .
8 . Replace the Stop Angle, remove the sawhorses, and slide the extension all
the way back into the body of the TSPR to realign the extension .
SOLUTION
1) Clear debris
2) Unlock gate shaft when in the up position
3) Grease or replace bearing as needed
1) Clear debris
2) Fully extend, blow/brush rail to clean, retract extension to realign
3) Follow linear bearing replacement instruction, then check if bearings
spin freely
