1. Attach an ESD Ground wire(Curly Cord) between the workbench and the ground lug, located on the rear of the unit

 

2. A DC Power adaptor (12VDC,500mA) is supplied within supply. This is primarily to charge the 6Volt battery fitted. As the battery fitted has a very large capacity, this should only be necessary when the Battery Low Light is lit on the counter unit (Red LED). To all intents and purposes the unit is battery powered. The power jack is fitted at the rear of the unit

SMD2000 REAR VIEW (ABOVE)

1. Always wear a properly grounded ESD wrist strap.
2. Hold the free end of the tape next to one of the pitch setting guides and observe the spacing interval between the pocket centre holes of the carrier tape.

   The centre of the first pocket should be positioned over the (0) mark. The numbered line appearing in the centre of the second pocket is the PITCH of the carrier tape. (In the figure below, the PITCH of the tape is ‘2’)

   

1. Having determined the number of holes per pocket from the pitch gauge – set the " Division Switch" on the counter unit to the number previously determined from the pitch gauge.

 

2. Check that the "Direction Switch" on the Counter unit is set to accumulate count in the direction of the tape traverse. The Counter can accumulate in either direction

   

1. loosen the Back-Guide adjustment knob and slide the back-guide toward the rear of the unit allowing enough room for the width of the carrier tape
2. Place the empty take-up reel on the left-hand spindle and the reel of taped parts on the right-hand spindle

** NOTE: The reels must be placed on the SMD2000 so that the Tape Sprocket Holes will pass over the sprocket pins of the Sensing Wheel. (The sprocket hole side of the tape should be closest to the front of the SMD2000)

3. Feed the tape underneath the right side of the tape Guide and position the Tape Sprocket Holes so that they pass directly over the sprockets of the Sensing Wheel

    4. Slide the Back-Guide up to the rear edge of the tape. The Back-Guide should be adjusted so that the tape can move freely through the assembly when it is pulled through

COUNTING PARTS 

1. Position the tape with the leading edge of the first component lined up to the Index Mark on the top of the back guide
2. Press the "RESET" button on the Counter module
3. Attach the leading end of the tape to the empty reel
4. Advance the tape until the trailing edge of the last component reaches the Index Mark on the Back-Guide. The number of parts that have passed the Index Mark will show on the Counter Module
5. When finished with parts counting, rewind the tape onto the original reel
