Set-up and Adjustment Procedure for the SUPER DANCER Dancer Arm Position Controller [Model #’s: SD-1R & SD-1]

Theory of operation: The Electronic control package consists of 4 main control

components. They are as follows: 1.) Analog Proximity Sensor (3 to 5mm range)

2.) PS-3 ( power supply)

3.) PID-2 (dancer position control module)

4.) LB-2 (dancer arm over travel module)* optional

With the Dancer Arm (Prox. Switch) in the Zero speed position, Super Dancer can be adjusted to 0vdc output. (When connected to a variable speed drive this would normally represent Zero speed.)

With the Dancer Arm (Prox. Switch) in the full speed position, Super Dancer can be adjusted to 10vdc output. ( When connected to a variable speed drive this would normally represent Full speed.)

The change from Zero to Full Dancer Arm position will be a linear 0-10vdc output. The optional LB-2 alarm relay can be adjusted to energize or de-energize at any position in the arc of the dancer arm. (Typically used for emergency or tight loop shut off.)

1.) With Dancer Arm in the desired Off or Zero position, adjust potentiometer P4 on the PID-2 until there is 0vdc on terminals 7(-) & 8(+). [This sets your Zero or Minimum speed position.]

2.) With Dancer Arm in the desired Full speed position, adjust potentiometer P6 on the PID-2 until there is 10vdc on terminals 7(-) & 8(+). [This sets your Full Speed position.]

3. ) Move Dancer Arm to Over Travel position and adjust P1 on LB-2 until LED energizes or de-energizes. [This sets your Emergency Stop position.] # optional

4.) In the event your motor speed is not sufficient and your loop pulls tight and or hits the Over Travel limit (LB-2) frequently during normal operation, a faster RPM per inch of Dancer Arm movement is needed (Example: For very fast line speeds).Turn potentiometer P6 on PID-2, CCW until desired max reel speed is obtained at desired max speed Dancer Arm position. [This sets your RPM per inch of Dancer Arm movement or Maximum speed position.] [CW decreases RPM/inch , CCW increases RPM/inch]

[Note: All potentiometers are 22 turns maximum travel and just slip after 22 turns. For PID adjustments see the PID-2 adjustment sheet!]
