6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Conveyor belt does not move. | No power, loose connection, motor issue. | Check power adapter connection and outlet. Ensure all cables are securely plugged into the control box. Verify the power switch is ON. |
| Sensor not detecting objects. | Sensor misalignment, dirty sensor lens, incorrect program setting. | Ensure the sensor is properly aligned with the object path. Clean the sensor lens. Check the selected operating program in the control box. |
| Belt speed is inconsistent. | Speed knob setting, excessive load. | Adjust the 'Speed Knob' to the desired setting. Ensure the load does not exceed 11 pounds (5 kg). |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Debris in rollers, loose components. | Inspect the rollers and belt path for any foreign objects. Check all screws and connections for tightness. |
