Before starting the machine, make a final check to see that the conveyor belt is free of all tools and foreign objects. Page 8 SITRANS WW300 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7ML19985MQ01...
The calibration is initially done using the supplied test load. Material tests are recommended to achieve maximum accuracy. Test Load The test load value for your SITRANS WW300 is given on the accompanying factory test sheet, in kilograms per meter or pounds per foot. Zero Perform the zero calibration as described in the Calibration section of the integrator manual.
The shear gate on the inlet of the weighfeeder needs to be set to allow the maximum feedrate capacity for the application, hieght is provided in the outline drawings included. Consult your Siemens representative if feed rate changes are required. Skirtboards The skirtboards have been factory set.
(for self steering units the belt will track itself) Before attempting to track the belt, be sure: • belt scraper is in place • belt tension is near guidelines suggested on page 12 • feeder is level and true Page 12 SITRANS WW300 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7ML19985MQ01...
Re-tighten the jam nut located on the telescoper to maintain the new telescoper position after completing the tracking procedure. 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 build-up on head or tail pulleys.
Not Energize" tag on the main disconnect before working on or around the weighfeeder. If a load cell on SITRANS WW300 has been damaged, is not functioning, or if you are changing the capacity, you will need to replace one or all load cells.
±1/32" (0.8 mm). Belt Direction Use spirit level to level load cell, on each side. Secure bolts with idlers aligned and load cells level. Align both sides and secure load cells in unison. Page 16 SITRANS WW300 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7ML19985MQ01...
Verify that the data on the design data sheet included with this manual is correct and modify if required. Refer to the supplied integrator/controller information for calibration and configuration information. 7ML19985MQ01 SITRANS WW300 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 17...
Then review and check the common problems listed below. Contact your Siemens representative for assistance determining the cause of Note: the problem. Be sure to have the Model Number and Serial Number of your system and all of the calibration and setup parameters available before calling.
Abrasions, cuts, or ragged edges on the belt will create performance problems. Replace the belt if it becomes ragged or torn. 7ML19985MQ01 SITRANS WW300 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 19...
Reduce belt tension to a minimum to prevent belt damage and re-adjust belt tension at re-installation. Do NOT store the weighfeeder in direct sunlight, as this will cause premature Note: breakdown of the belt. Page 20 SITRANS WW300 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7ML19985MQ01...
