FEEDER CONTROL FUNCTIONS
INTERLOCK CONTROL (Feeder Interface)
NOTE: Machines with serial numbers 2275 and higher come standard with a normally
open interlock. The feeder will run when the host machine closes the two interlock
leads. Switching this feature to a normally closed circuit is possible but must be
performed by a qualified technician.
This EasyFeed unit is equipped with a dry contact Interlock connection; allowing for
connectivity with other equipment (inkjets, tabbers etc.), so that the feeder can run when the
host machine signals it to do so. The connector is an AMP 4 pin connector, using pins 1 and 4.
This machine is also equipped with a two position slide switch, located on the bottom of
the unit.*
*Applicable only for machines with serial numbers lower than 2275
When this switch is in the N.O. (normally open) position, the feeder will run only when the host
machine closes the leads attached to the AMP connector (jumps pins 1 & 4). When the slide
switch is in the N.O. position, the red rocker switch (Stand Alone Switch) on the back plate can
be turned on to “override” the interlock signal so the feeder can run when not interfaced with
the host machine, or when the host machine is not signaling the feeder to run. ***TURN OFF
FEEDER BEFORE MOVING THE SLIDE SWITCH***
When the slide switch is in the N.C. position, the feeder will run when the host machine is NOT closing
the leads attached to the AMP connector, OR when the interlock cable is removed from the feeder.
With the switch in this (N.C.) position, the feeder will stop running when the host machine closes the
leads attached to pins 1 & 4 on the AMP connector.
NOTE: The red rocker switch (Stand Alone Switch) should be in the OFF position only when the slide
switch is on N.C.!
Note: The green JOG button will run the feeder at a preset jogging speed regardless of the position of
the red rocker switch (Stand Alone Switch).
