Note the following: WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage, installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any problems.
Introduction Note The Siemens weighfeeder is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual. The manual This instruction manual covers the operation, installation, and maintenance of the Siemens weighfeeder. Specific information for your weighfeeder model is also included with the product such as testing documents.
Safety information Safety and general precautions WARNING ALWAYS STOP the belt, lock-out, and/or place a "Do Not Energize" tag on the main disconnect before working on or around the weighfeeder. WARNING Always follow established safe operating practices when working on or around the weighfeeder, especially in wet environments and when adjacent to conductive steel mounting framework.

Safety information 2.1 Safety and general precautions SITRANS WW200 Operating Instructions, 06/2018, A5E33560654-AC...
Description SITRANS WW200 is a low-to-medium capacity weighfeeder for minor ingredient additives. The unique weigh system applies live load directly to two platform load cells. An adjustable mechanical shear gate profiles the material and fixes the correct material bed depth for a given material application.
When lifting the weighfeeder, connect to the structural frame, and follow local governing code for lifting/hoisting. Perform a thorough and systematic inspection of containers immediately upon receipt of your Siemens weighfeeder. The containers are packed to separate each item and provide protection during shipping. Note Do not remove equipment from shipping crates or boxes until you check for possible shipping damage.

Installing 4.1 Installation steps 1. Construct the necessary support framework to provide a sturdy, rigid base. Vibration isolators are recommended if the location is subject to moderate or heavy vibration. 2. Align the in-feed section of the weighfeeder with the discharge of the feed device. Prevent twisting or misalignment that could induce stress on the weighing section.
Calibrating After the weighfeeder has been properly installed, calibration of the weighing system must be done in conjunction with the integrator. Refer to the integrator instruction manual for programming and calibration. A test sheet has been provided with the weighfeeder detailing the entries used during factory calibration.
Connecting INTEGRATOR INTEGRATOR LOAD CELL LOAD CELL SPEED SENSOR "A" "B" Integrator Wiring Note Note For integrator wiring: Wiring diagram shows connection to BW500 or BW500L. For connection to SIWAREX FTC, WP241 or WT241 loadcell signals need to be wired in parallel: connect TB4.1 to TB2.5 and TB4.2 to TB2.6.

Connecting 6.1 Integrator Wiring Note Note Load cell sense lines When sense lines (SEN + and SEN -) are included with a load cell, they must be terminated with EXC (+ to +, - to -) or cut and covered, but not wrapped together as this will short the cell. Note Standard wiring shown, consult wiring diagrams for optional electrical connections.
Disregard for horseshoe-style infeeds. The shear gate on the inlet of the weighfeeder needs to be set to allow the maximum feed rate capacity required. Consult your Siemens representative if feed rate changes are required. Skirtboards The skirtboards have been factory set to proper specifications. Note that near the inlet, the skirtboards are very close to the belt.
Commissioning 7.3 Changing the conveyor belt Your system has been supplied with soft PVC seal strips. Position the seal strips on the belt as shown. ① ④ Pulley Do not force seal strip against belt ② ⑤ Seal strip Belt ③...
Commissioning 7.5 Belt tracking 4. From the access side of the weighfeeder at the discharge end, grab the edge of the belt and gently pull it over the side rail, making sure that the leading edge of the belt does not catch on any components.
5. Re-tighten the jam nut located on the telescoper to maintain the new telescoper position after completing the tracking procedure. 6. If you are having problems tracking the belt, consult your Siemens representative. Common causes of belt tracking problems are: uneven or improperly distributed product loading, twisted frame, or product buildup on head or tail pulleys.
Commissioning 7.7 Weigh deck alignment ① ③ Side rail Jam nut ② ④ Adjusting screw Driven shaft Weigh deck alignment Precise deck alignment is very important to achieve maximum accuracy of the weighing system. A misaligned deck will result in unwanted forces being applied in the weighing area, causing calibration and measurement errors.
Note Please read and understand all of the instructions before proceeding with the replacement. Contact your Siemens representative for assistance if you have any questions or problems. 7.9.1 Removing old load cell 1.
Commissioning 7.9 Load cell replacement ① ⑤ Weigh deck Load cell ② ⑥ Belt Shipping bolt ③ ⑦ Top load cell mount Overload bolt ④ Bottom load cell mount Note Load cell may appear different than shown. 7.9.2 Installing new load cell 1.
Commissioning 7.9 Load cell replacement 5. Route the load cell cable to the junction box and connect the load cell according to the supplied interwiring diagram. Repeat steps for other load cells if necessary. Note Once the load cell has been replaced, check the weigh deck alignment with the approach and retreat slider bars.
Maintenance WARNING ALWAYS STOP the belt, lock-out, and/or place a "Do Not Energize" tag on the main disconnect before working on or around the weighfeeder. Preventative maintenance The maintenance schedule below is recommended to maintain top performance and accuracy of the system. Weighfeeders mounted in severe weather or dusty conditions may require a more rigorous maintenance schedule.
Maintenance 8.4 Weighfeeder storage recommendations Note ● In extraordinary climatic or environmental conditions, special lubricants may be required. ● In corrosive environments, more frequent lubrication is required to purge contaminants. General maintenance The equipment should be cleaned periodically and any excess accumulation of product should be removed to minimize potential damage to the mechanical components and scale accuracy.
Maintenance 8.4 Weighfeeder storage recommendations In addition, fill the gear reducer with an appropriate gear oil to prevent oxidation. When the equipment is re-installed, completely drain this gear oil and then refill the reducer to the appropriate level. 8.4.3 Electrical To prevent oxidation, place a desiccant or moisture removal material in all electrical junction boxes and component cabinets.
Note If you have difficulty determining the cause of the problem, contact your Siemens representative. Be sure to have the Model Number and Serial Number of your system and all of the calibration and setup parameters available before calling.
Technical data 10.1 Specifications Accuracy ± 0.5% Accuracy subject to: On factory approved installations, the weighfeeder system’s totalized weight will be within the specified accuracy when compared to a known weighed material test sample. The test rate must be within the specified range of the design capacity, and held constant for the duration of the test.
