CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
MAIN COMPONENTS
Main Vibrator:
Main vibrator is the vibrating source for the top cone, from top
cone; product will be distributed to linear vibrator pan.
Linear Vibrator:
Linear vibrator is the vibrating source for the linear vibrator pan;
product will be distributed to intermediate hopper (feed hopper).
Page 5 of 62
Intermediate (Feed) Hopper:
Intermediate (feed) hopper receives products from linear
vibrator. It will discharge product to weigh hopper which is
below it, when weigh hopper is empty.
Weigh Hopper:
Each weigh bucket is connecting to load cells and it will read
weight of product inside the weigher, and controller will use the
weighted data to make combination. Selected weigh hopper will
discharge products to the collecting hopper or machine.

CHAPTER 3 OPERATION
STARTUP PROCEDURE
During this process all weigh hopper will open and close in
sequence to empty the residual, then the zero function will be
performed. Unless zeroing the whole machine run command
will remain locked.
Page 10 of 62
Once zero function is activated, machine will display all weigh
hopper readings.it should be steady in between -0.2 to +0.2g
after this function.

CHAPTER 4 WEIGHER SETUP
This Chapter Explains all the parameters required to setup
weigher.

SETUP 1
Target Wt.:
This is that desired weight which is achieved by the
combination. Use this parameter to set to change the target
weight for current program. Its unit is in grams.
Over Wt.:
Use this parameter to set up the overweight limit in the
combination. Its unit is in grams.
Under Wt.:
Use this parameter to set up the underweight limit in the
combination. Its unit is in grams.
Correct Wt.:
These function servers as the fast solution to correct the
weight variation. When there is consistent weight variation
caused by improper setting (delay time etc), use correction
Page 30 of 62
weight setting to bring the weight back closet to the target
weight.
I.e. if improper hopper open time causes product leakage, thus
result in consistent weight variation of 3 grams; correction
weight can be set as – 3g.
Zero Interval:
The load cell performs zeroing automatically after set time
of combination. This function aims to remove error to ensure
weighing accuracy. In Zero status, the hopper is cleared
up and will not be consider in combination. Its unit is in
minute.
Page 31 of 62
Required Speed:
Set an expected speed for Multihead weigher. It can be
set according to the working speed of the connected packaging
machine. Its unit is combination/minute.
Vibrator Setting:
Touch display

the vibrator
setting page,
where individually
or all together the
amplitude of
linear vibrator can
be set and main
vibrator amplitude
can be set.
Page 32 of 62
SETUP 2
No Product Pause:
Weigher will pause automatically when the products on
the top cone is under the ‘signal start weight’. When the
products are over the ‘signal start weight’, weigher will restart
automatically.
Page 33 of 62
Force Dump Hopper:
This value is used as judging criteria when no qualified
combination is found. When actual underweight hoppers
exceed this value, re-combination will take place. When actual
underweight hoppers are below this value, weigher will dump
the unqualified weights.
CHP Mode:
1: Single timing hopper door open (the right door).
2: The two doors of timing hopper open at the same time.
3: The two doors of timing hopper open by 2input.
4: The timing hopper, one door discharge to packing
machine, the other discharge to overweight rejecter.
No Comb Repeat:
This function is used when the any weigh hopper is not
selected into combination over preset number of cycles, it will
be forced into combination the next cycle.

FHP Start Delay:
It refers the time delay that feed hopper to dump product
into weigh hopper after the weigh hopper open. Its unit is
millisecond.
Page 37 of 62
SETUP 4
Stable Time:
Use this parameter to set the time after which weight
reading is taken by the system and displayed on the HMI. Its
unit is millisecond.
Combination Mode:
This setting is used to select the combination mode that is
weigh or count. Weigh is standard mode of combination.
Page 38 of 62
AFCT: It adjusts the amplitude according to the
combination hoppers and it will give an auto adjustment to
all linear vibrator amplitudes.
AFCI: It adjusts the amplitude according to the individual
hopper weight and it will give an auto adjustment to the
single linear amplitude, meanwhile, display the single
amplitude.
Comb HPR:
It refers the average weigh hoppers which are used in a
successful combination weighing.

Track Interval AFCT:
After N times successful combination cycles, it will give an
auto adjustment to all linear amplitudes.
