Safety notes

WARNING

Risk of hearing impairment due to high noise level!

Depending on the used samples (material and weight), potentially hazardous noise levels may occur when samples fall down on the outlet chute. A noise level above 80db(A) may result in serious damage to hearing.

1 If you feed parts where you expect the noise level to be above 80 db(A), perform a

noise measurement. Take the examples below as references.

2 Wear ear protection if the noise level exceeds 80 db(A).

The following list provides approximate values of noise emissions (discharge mode, 20 cm):

NOTICE

Danger of damage due to inappropriate use!

Inappropriate use of the instrument may lead to significant material damage. 1 Install and operate the instrument only in dry interior rooms. 2 Always operate and use the device only in accordance with the instructions

contained in this manual. 3 Do not open the device. 4 Never make any modifications to the device. 5 Use only instrument accessories and peripheral devices from METTLER TOLEDO;

they are optimally adapted to your instrument.

Safety Information 5Automatic Feeder

2 Design and Function

The LV12 is an automatic feeder for capsules, tablets or small electronic and mechanical components. Large weighing series are radically simplified. The LV12 is therefore especially suitable for statistical quality control (SQC). Usually the LV12 is remotely controlled by commands over a serial interface (RS232 or USB), but the system can also be controlled manually using push buttons.

The LV12 delivers a single part to the balance and then stops automatically. After receiving the appropriate command from the weighing instrument, the device delivers the next part. This process can be stopped at any time by a command. At the end of a sample, the feeder plate can be emptied or the feeder waits for the command for a further sample.

1 Remove the four transportation locks (1) (one in each

corner).

2 Put the feeder plate (2) on the device and fix it by turning it

clockwise along the slotted holes.

Installation and Putting into Operation 11Automatic Feeder

3 Put the cover (3) on the device. Take the marks on the top

of cover as reference for the correct orientation (the marks have to point to the front as indicated in the image). Push the cover down until it snaps into place.

4 Fit the chute (4) to the two clamping blots at the lateral

opening and push it in as far as it will go.

5 Connect the device to the balance using the delivered

cables (either by USB or RS232 according to the used balance).

6 Set up the device as described in [Connecting the

device}Page12].

3.5 Connecting the device

WARNING

Risk of electric shock

1 To connect the device, only use the supplied three-core power cable with equipment

grounding conductor. 2 Only connect the device to a three-pin power socket with earthing contact. 3 Only standardized extension cable with equipment grounding conductor must be

used for operation of the device. 4 Intentional disconnection of the equipment grounding conductor is forbidden.

Installation and Putting into Operation12 Automatic Feeder

NOTICE

Property damage due to short circuit!

Damage to the insulation on the AC/DC adapter or the cable can result in a short-circuit and damage the device.

1 Only use the original AC/DC adapter which was supplied with your device.

Otherwise, the device may get damaged.

2 If the AC/DC adapter or the cable is damaged, pull out the power plug and have the

AC/DC adapter replaced. 3 Route the cable so that it cannot be damaged by external influences. 4 The power plug must always be accessible. 5 Keep moisture away from live parts. Moisture can result in short-circuit.

Note

When the device is connected to the mains, it starts automatically. To switch off the device and to disconnect it from the power supply, the mains plug has to be plugged out.

The device is supplied with an AC/DC adapter and a country-specific power cable. The AC/DC adapter is suitable for use with the following voltage range:

100 – 240 VAC, 50/60Hz. Proceed as follows to connect and set up the device: 1 Position the device on a firm surface. Pay attention to the required ambient conditions, see

[Selecting the location}Page10]. 2 Check the AC/DC adapter and the cable for damage. 3 Check whether your local power supply falls within the range of the delivered AC/DC adapter. If

this is not the case, under no circumstances connect the AC/DC adapter to the power supply, but

contact a METTLER TOLEDO representative.

Installation and Putting into Operation 13Automatic Feeder

4 Connect the AC/DC adapter to the connection socket at the rear of the device.

5 Connect the AC/DC adapter to a grounded electrical outlet. ð When the LV12 is connected to the mains supply, an initialization (reset) runs for approx. 2

seconds. During this time, all LEDs light up. The instrument is then in the normal mode with preselected intensity level2.

Note

• The basic setting of the vibration is selected so that most parts can be delivered without any

problems. For very small or large parts, this setting can be adjusted, see [Configure feeding rate sets}Page17].

Installation and Putting into Operation14 Automatic Feeder

3.6 Transporting the device

NOTICE

Risk of property damage due to improper transport!

In the event of improper transport, the device may fall. This can cause major property damage.

1 Only transport the device when it is disconnected from the mains supply. 2 If you would like to transport or ship your device over long distances, use the

complete original packaging.

3 Always transport packages upright and never throw them.

Remove the power cable and any interface cable from the device. Refer to the notes in section [Selecting the location}Page10] regarding the choice of an optimal location.

Installation and Putting into Operation 15Automatic Feeder

4 Operation

4.1 Starting/stopping feeding

Usually the LV12 is remotely controlled by commands over a serial interface (RS232 or USB), but the device can also be controlled manually. To start or stop the feeding action manually, proceed as follows:

The device is in state "ready" (LED Ready is lit up).

1 Press once the button Start/Stop/Discharge.

ð Feeding action starts. The orange LED Feed lights up.

2 Press the button Start/Stop/Discharge anew to stop

feeding action. If feeding is not stopped manually, the system feeds until an object interrupts the light barrier and then stops automatically.

4.2 Adjusting feeding rate

The feeding rate can be adjusted before starting or during the feeding process. Changing the feeding rate during the feeding process takes effect immediately. Proceed as follows to change the feeding rate:

The device is in state "ready" (LED Ready is lit up).

− By briefly pressing the button Feed Rate/Test, you can

adjust the feeding rate so that only one part at a time falls onto the balance.

4.3 Discharging device

Discharge is used to empty the system of all objects. The system feeds at the configured discharge feed rate and stops 90 seconds after the last object has passed the light barrier. Proceed as follows to activate discharge:

The device is in state "ready" (LED Ready is lit up).

1 Press and hold the button Start/Stop/Discharge for at least

2 seconds. ð Discharge action starts. The orange LED Feed lights up

and all four level indicating LEDs flash.

2 To stop discharging manually, press once the button Start/

Stop/Discharge. Otherwise, discharging will stop automatically.

Operation16 Automatic Feeder

4.4 Find optimal feeding rate

The test mode allows you to find the optimal feeding rate and therefore to ensure, that only one part at a time is fed to the balance. Proceed as follows to adjust the feeding rate using the test mode:

The device is in state "ready" (LED Ready is lit up).

1 To enter the test mode, press and hold the button Feed

Rate/Test for at least 5 seconds.

ð The LV12 starts delivery until a part passes through the

light barrier. It then stops for 2.5 seconds and then continues delivery until the next passage through the light barrier.

2 By briefly pressing the button Feed Rate/Test, you can now

select the rate so that only one part at a time falls onto the

balance.

3 To quit the test mode, press the button Start/Stop/

Discharge.

4.5 Configure feeding rate sets

During the configuration, the intensity level is indicated by the four green LEDs as follows:

General (for most parts, factory settings)

Midsize parts Large parts

To configure the feeding rate set, proceed as follows:

The device is in state "ready" (LED Ready is lit up).

1 Press and hold the two buttons for at least 5 seconds.

ð The LED Ready goes out.

Small parts

2 Change the feeding rate set by toggling using the button

Feed Rate/Test.

3 To quit the setting mode, press anew the two buttons.

ð The LED Ready is lit up.
