  1. Handle cargo carefully during loading and unloading operations. Avoid collisions when moving equipment. Never throw goods directly onto the conveyor.

    3. Handle cargo gently, avoid collisions
    3. Handle cargo gently, avoid collisions
  1. When loading and unloading cargo, avoid pulling on the side of the belt, as this can cause belt misalignment and damage.

    4. Do not tug belt sides during loading

  1. Do not alter the frequency converter parameters, as this may render the equipment inoperable.

    7. Avoid pressing frequency converter buttons
    7. Avoid pressing frequency converter buttons
  1. For external power connections, use 2.5 square lines with proper grounding; insufficient voltage can impact the frequency converter.

    8. Use 2.5 sq mm floor power lines

Electrical Systems and Control Box Operation

I: Power Requirements

  1. Install a voltage stabilizer in areas with unstable power supply
  2. For single-phase 220V systems, do not use 380V wiring; proper grounding must be established before operation
  3. Power cords must conform to appropriate standards and be of adequate gauge

II: Basic Operating Procedures and Wiring Diagram

  1. Before starting the machine, verify the following:Confirm power supply is properly connected
    1. (Electronic control boxes marked for single-phase require 220V, three-phase systems require 380V)
    2. Ensure proper grounding connection is established
  2. Startup procedure:Verify the emergency stop button is in the OFF position
    1. Select the appropriate operation direction using the forward/reverse switch

III: Troubleshooting Guide

  1. Power indicator light does not illuminate after connecting power:
    1. Check: Verify the power switch is turned on and power supply is correctly connected
  2. Indicator light is on but frequency panel remains off:
    1. Check: Ensure frequency converter input power and data lines are secure
    2. Diagnosis: When the frequency converter is powered on, listen for the internal cooling fan operation to confirm power supply
  3. Frequency converter runs normally but motor doesn’t turn:
    1. Investigation: Examine the transformer output lines (U, V, W) and fast connector cables
    2. Diagnosis: Look for disconnected wiring between components and the device
  4. Frequency converter displays fault code:
    1. Check: Inspect the transformer output starting lines (U, V, W)
    2. Diagnosis: Possible disconnected wires, wire collisions, or frequency converter failure
    3. Solution:Disconnect the control box from the equipment
      1. Power on the control box to verify independent functionality
      2. If issues persist, disconnect the three sets of lines from the frequency converter (U, V, W) and test again
  • If problems continue, the frequency converter may need replacement
  1. If the frequency converter functions properly, investigate the wiring connections
  1. Motor makes sound but doesn’t turn:
    1. Diagnosis: A motor may have disconnected or broken wires
    2. Solution: Remove the motor wire box cover and inspect all connections
  2. Equipment has static or electrical leakage:
    1. Check: Verify external plugs have proper ground connections
    2. Check: Inspect all power lines for damage or leakage that could create electrical hazards
