Explanations On The Term Operating Mode; Switching Over To A Different Mains Voltage - Epson RC+ 7.0 Manual

3.2 Explanations on the term OPERATING MODE

Oscillating drives are mechanical spring vibrators, which, according to weight and/or size,
are adjusted to an oscillating frequency near the mains frequency. Two operating modes are
possible:
1. Asymmetrical half-wave operation the oscillating drive operates with mains frequency.
2. Symmetrical full-wave operation - the oscillating drive operates with double mains
From that the following details result for the oscillating frequency:
Operating mode 1
Operating mode 2
At a mains with 50 Hz only oscillating drives with 50 Hz or 100 Hz oscillating frequency
can be operated, at a mains with 60 Hz, however, only oscillating drives with 60 Hz or 120
Hz oscillating frequency. The control unit can operate in both operating modes. It must,
however, be switched into the correct operating mode. The mains frequency is of no
importance for the control unit.

3.3 Switching over to a different mains voltage

The selection of the operating mode takes place by entering a code into the load plug of the
oscillating drive. A jumper in the plug from connection 3 to 4 switches the control unit into
operating mode 2: 100 or 120 Hz. If this connection is missing, the control unit operates in
the operating mode 1: 50 or 60 Hz.
As a standard oscillating transport units are provided with the correct code in the plug. To
assist the user, the threaded cable fitting has distinguishing colors on the connector jack for
better recognition BLACK for operating mode 1, 50 Hz or 60 Hz, GREY for operating mode
2, 100 Hz or 120 Hz.
