Installation

MOUNTING

This Hi-Vi model should be mounted on a flat surface,
fastened with bolts or screws of proper size. Use lock
washers under the bolt heads.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

NOTE: The Eriez Vibratory Feeder cannot be operated
from a DC source.

All wiring should conform to all applicable electrical codes.

1. Check the specifications of the power line to be
certain that they are the same as those shown on the
nameplate of the control box.

2. Connect the black and white wires in the Feeder power
cord to the terminals in the control box marked “Output”.

3. Connect the green wire (ground) to the lug provided in
the box.

4. Connect the power line to the terminals in the control
box marked “Line”.

5. Connect the lug in the control box to a good earth
ground (a cold water line is excellent). If a well-grounded
metallic conduit system is used, the latter connection
may be dispensed with.

6. On multiple drive feeders (two or more drives on one
tray) all drives should be wired electrically in phase. The
black wires from each power cord should be connected
together and the white wires connected together. The
black wires should be connected to the positive side
of the single phase input voltage and the white wires
should be connected to the negative side.

Operation &
Maintenance

Do not operate the unit with associated equipment
touching any part of the unit.

To start the feeder after all connections have been
made, apply power to the line connected to the feeder. If
a controller is used, operate the switch on the controller
and adjust the output voltage to maximum by rotating
the control knob to the full clockwise position. Ordinarily
(at ambient room temperatures) the unit will take about
two minutes to reach full steady-state displacement.

After full steady-state displacement has been attained,
use the controller to adjust the unit to the desired feed
rate.

No routine maintenance or lubrication is required,
except that any accumulation of foreign matter should
be periodically removed from between the tray-tiebar
assembly and the body, and from between the body
and the mounting surface, to prevent restriction of
movement of the vibratory elements.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Special Trays and Attachments

Always consult Eriez before designing or constructing
special trays for your feeder drive. Also, contact Eriez
before modifying or attaching to any tray supplied by
Eriez. Changes made without Eriez’ prior approval will
void the warranty.
