10.- SETTING THE CUP STOPPING POSITION.
•
Only if the cups fail to stop in the vertical position.
•
Start up the motor, stop it with Stop and check if the cups stop before or after
reaching the vertical position.
•
If they stop before reaching the vertical position, they probably need cleaning
and greasing. This can be checked by following the steps in Point 1.
•
If they stop after the vertical position, this can be corrected in several ways:
o
If the machine registration number is 4376 onwards, it can be corrected
electronically. he process to follow in order to modify the stopping point from
the electronic circuit board is the following:
¾
Switch off the machine using the switch at the rear.
¾
Switch on again while pressing STOP. Four numbers will be displayed
on the screen.
¾
With four numbers on the screen (they only appear for 3 seconds)
press the ON button. A number from 0 to 9 will be displayed on the left-
hand side of the screen. The number displayed corresponds to the
tenths of a second delay in stopping the machine, thus if the machine
needs to be stopped sooner, a number lower than that displayed on the
screen needs to be selected. To change this number, press ON (when
the screen is displaying the number on the left-hand side) and the
number will change. For the electronics to store this number in memory,
wait 5 seconds (the screen will then display a number in the central
position, corresponding to the number of oranges selected).
¾
Check that the stopping point is correct. If this is not the case, repeat
the process with another delay value.
o
If the machine has a registration number earlier than 4376 or if it cannot be
corrected electronically, the position of the micro meter can be altered (Figs.
10a and 10b), and it can be advanced or retarded as necessary.

When the micro meter is refitted, it should be adjusted so that there is contact
for almost the whole time the cam is passing, approximately as shown in
Steps 2 and 3 in the following illustration.
