Electronic Small Bagging Scale
6.3.5 Filled Bag Won’t Drop
If the bag does not drop at the end of the fill cycle, check the following:
1. Check the package weight. If the package weight is outside of the acceptable over/under range.
If the weight is outside this range, the operator will have to manually release the package by
pressing the EMERGENCY STOP button.
Note: If packages are consistently finishing outside of the acceptable over/under range, check
the over/under range settings to make sure the settings are not too restrictive. It may be
necessary to adjust them.
6.3.6 Bag Won’t Stop Filling
If the bag does not drop at the end of the fill cycle, check the following:
1. Check the start switch to make sure that it isn’t being held in the on position. At the start of the
fill cycle, the switch must “make” contact to start the cycle, and it must return to the neutral
(open) position before the fill cycle completes. Check the top of the bag to make sure that it is
not holding the start switch in the “make” position.
6.3.7 Air Cylinder Failure
Occasionally a cylinder will fail or will operate intermittently. Check the operation of the suspected
cylinder using the steps below:
1. Remove the air hose from the unpressurized side of the cylinder and see if any air leaks through
from the pressurized side. Reinstall the hose.
2. Reverse the pressure on the cylinder.
3. Remove the other hose. It should now be on the unpressurized side of the cylinder. Check for
any leaks through from the pressurized side. Reinstall the hose.
4. Check for air leaks around the barrel end of the cylinder.
5. If leaks are found in any of the steps, replace the air cylinder.
6.3.8 MAC Valve Failure
Occasionally a MAC valve will fail or will operate intermittently. Check the operation of the suspected
MAC valve using the steps below:
1. With the power off, press the manual override buttons (test buttons) on the cylinder coils to
cause the cylinder spool to function. If the valve does not function in manual mode, replace the
valve.
2. Check the wiring to the cylinder coils from the weigh meter circuit board. Make sure the wiring
energizes the coil as the relays on the meter board change. If the wiring to the coils is energizing
the proper coil at the proper time, but the MAC valve fails to function, replace the MAC valve.
3. If the wiring to the coils is not being energized at the proper time, use a voltmeter to check the
relays on the weigh meter circuit board. There is a normally open and a normally closed contact
on each relay and each should change as the weights reach the dribble and target weight
setpoints. If the relays do not operate correctly, replace the circuit board.
