GENERAL OPERATING : Start the conveyor by pressing the ‘conveyor on’ .

Check the direction of the conveyor rotation wheather it is correct or not. Inverse the phase if the rotation is wrong.

Start the operation by turning the switch to ‘on’. The green indicator lamp for each module should light up.
