1.2.2 Baggage that can be processed by the system but requires special handling
For longer baggage, a modified program is required to push the bag in the center.
The following baggage can be processed, but must be in a tub before processing.
T 2 Baggage requiring special handling
1.2.3 Fragile baggage
The Viper pusher cannot process fragile items.
1.2.4 Odd-Size Baggage
The Viper pusher cannot process odd-size baggage.
1.3 SYSTEM OPERATION
The pusher transfer baggage from one conveyor to another. These conveyors can be parallel or perpendicular
See chapter 1 System overview. The pusher is provided clockwise or counterclockwise, according to the
conveyor direction. To be able to automatically sort baggage, the pusher is connected to the BHS.
The pusher is mounted next to the feeding conveyor. This conveyor has a narrow width to ensure the sorting of
different baggage sizes. The reach over the belt is 35.84" (910mm). The speed of the conveyor is related to
the capacity of the pusher.
The pusher has a high capacity which means that it moves at great speeds. The force used for pushing is
considerable which means that all personnel in the pusher operation area must use great caution. The pusher
stops in the home position to avoid interference with passing baggage.
1.4 THEORY OF OPERATION
The Viper pusher functions in two operation modes, the Run mode and the Jog mode. In the Run mode divert
operations are controlled by a trigger signal from the host Baggage Handling System (BHS) in which the pusher
is integrated or the cycle button located on the control panel. In the Jog mode, the arm's motion is controlled by
operators located on the pusher's control panel.
G0045-072-00001-EN-A.11 10 of 87
O&M Manual
Viper Pusher O&M Manual
1.4.1 Run Mode
In the Run mode the host controller in the BHS sends a trigger signal to the pusher. A trigger signal is released
by the BHS host controller after the decision is made to divert a bag. The pusher's arm cycles out to push the
bag onto the takeaway conveyor, then returns to the home position to allow non-diverting bags to pass.
1.4.2 Jog Mode
In the Jog mode of operation the pusher does not respond to trigger signals received from the host controller.
Instead, the pusher can be operated manually by the jog switch located on the pusher's control panel. The
release of the jog selector switch will stop the motion of the arm.
This mode is intended for troubleshooting and testing during general operations, and after performing
maintenance work.
1.5 VFD CONTROL PANEL
The control panel for the pusher connects the pusher unit to the BHS. The front panel, (see Figure F 5),
comprise of the following:
F 5 Viper Pusher VFD Control Panel
Disconnect: Switches on the main power for the pusher for normal operations.
Cycle Pushbutton: Completes 1 full cycle of the pusher when pressed.
Run/Jog Switch: Selects the mode of operation for the pusher. For normal operation of the pusher
within the BHS the Run/Jog switch should be in the Run position. The Cycle pushbutton will only function
in Run Mode. To allow manual control of the movement of the pusher's arm via the FWD Jog/ REV Jog
switch, place the Run/Jog Switch in the Jog position.
Rev/Fwd Jog Switch: 3 position momentary selector switch used to control the movement of the pusher
arm. This switch will only function when the Run/Jog Switch is in the Jog position. Place the switch in the
Rev position to run the arm in a counterclockwise direction. Place the switch in the Fwd position to run
the arm in a clockwise direction.

G0045-072-00001-EN-A.11 12 of 87
O&M Manual
1. Be sure that the MCP Controller main power
disconnect is OFF and locked out and the
PUSHER disconnect switch is OFF before
opening the protective cover or making
adjustments.
2. Be careful handling electric equipment.
3. Be sure that all guards are in place before
resuming operation.
4. Keep hands and loose clothing away from moving
parts.
5. Be careful when touching a bearing. A faulty
bearing may be hot enough to cause burns.
6. Keep all conveyor belts and beds clear of
obstructions and debris.
7. Do not use any conveyor as a rest, work platform,
or conveyance for tools, parts, or personnel.
8. Observe all company directives and policies, the
caution and warning signs posted on conveyors
and instructions in this and other manuals.
9. When cleaning dust with compressed air, use eye
protection and avoid breathing the dust.

O&M Manual
1. Stop the feeding conveyor line.
2. On the Pusher control panel:
− Switch the Disconnect OFF.
− Leave the Run/Jog switch in the Run position.
3. Manually move the pusher’s paddle arm in order
to clear the jam.
4. Reposition any bag(s) onto an open area of the
conveyor belt outside the path of the pusher’s
operation.
5. On the Pusher control panel:
− Switch the Disconnect ON.
− Press the Cycle Button.
The arm should cycle back to the home position.
6. Restart the conveyor line and resume normal
operation.

2.2 DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM EQUIPMENT
The pusher consists of two paddles that rotate. A short arm and a long arm create the movement. The use of
these two arms results in a triangular movement, which uses less space next to the conveyor, and creates a
velocity in the direction of the conveyor belt.
The paddles are mounted symmetrically at the long arm. The round paddle pusher does not have a timing belt
drive in the long arm.
The long arm rotates at its center, which is mounted at the short arm. The short arm is mounted at the reducer
axle. The reducer is driven by a v-belt drive, which is powered by a motor.
Power Requirements: 3 x 480V, 3.4A (Canada: 3 x 575V, 2.5A)
Overall Dimensions (L x W x H): 81.13" x 29.25" x 37.83" (2060.7mm x 743mm x 961mm)
Weight: approximately 1150lb (522kg)

2.3 ELECTRICAL CONTROL SEQUNCE OF OPERATION
A photo-eye is placed 30" to 60" upstream. If the pusher is used in a particular divert onto a chute, then a
second photo-eye can be installed to detect an obstruction on the chute.
F 8 Photo-eye Location
The home proximity switch is used to detect the home position.
F 9 Home Proximity Switch
The deceleration proximity switch is used to engage the brake to stop the arm's motion.
