MANUAL MJDT/MDT 560 English 1
Manual for MJTD, MDT 560 Ensure that tests and installation are carried out in a safe way! Adjustment guide Your BEOMAT launcher has undergone a complete pre-delivery inspection and should not require any adjustment at the time of installation. Should your launcher not be performing correctly, before any adjustments are made, please check the following: 1. Confirm that the launching arm is straight.
WARNING! Ensure that the power is turned off and the launcher is in a disarmed position when adjusting or maintaining the launcher! All work on electrical appliances should for safety reasons be performed by a qualified electrician. Installing the machine Depending upon the size of the opening in your trap house, you may need to remove the magazine.
Both the machine and the wire remote, are equipped with flashing red LED´s to alert you that the machine is ”still on” even though it may be in a sleep mode. The machine is very simple to operate, change from single to double, or vice versa, is done in one minute. The following instructions is furnished for informational use only, and is subject to change without notice.. Operating Instructions for Beomat 500 series launcher There should be no need to adjust any mechanism on the launcher itself.
Centering the machine on the field Start by turning the machine fully to the left, (make sure that the field is clear and that targets can be thrown safely) release one or more targets while observering the target path. Then move the machine fully to the right side and repeat the process. The objective here is to determine that the machine is dispersing the targets equally from side to side, if not, proceed with the following.
Changing the base setup for singles or doubles Setting up your Beomat for doubles as follows; The launcher is equipped with a lift leg where two bolts are located on the inside of the assembly, providing two settings, one for doubles which need to be the lowest setting, and has a separate adjusting bolt, the rear most. The other position is upwards for throwing single targets and has an adjusting bolt the front most, to work together with a movable steel block.
down, a distinct ”snap action” is to be noticed. Changing the magazine feed to doubles Before proceeding with this change, please see the note above. Changing the magazine drive to feed two targets is done by removing the target stack as shown, insert the forked tool (with its single support ”leg” downwards onto the magazine plate) in under the magazine drive member using the tool as pry-bar, pushing down on the handle firmly, thus moving the drive member to its upward position.
Electrical controls The launcher is equipped with a wire remote control in addition to its panel mounted controls. The remote control box will enable you to turn the launcher off and on, as well as a safe release feature, without stepping into the trap house. It also has a flashing led to indicate that the machine is on, (or in a sleep mode). Remote control box Remote control box with its flashing LED, to indicate that the launcher is on. Toggle switch ”on” position.
the machine is used for shooting of straight ahead targets, at which time it should be turned off. Vertical oscillation switch. The machines are prewired for a vertical oscillation drive, regardless if so equipped. Electric motor over load protection All electric motors used on the Beomat machines are equipped with a simple overload protection. The circuit breakers will vary in amperage from one type of motor to another, and are typically ranging from 4 amps to 12 amps.
It is recommended to reach in to the turnbuckle from the side of the machine, thus not being in front of the unit while making the adjustment. On the MTD500, the vertical motor is used to adjust the height of trajectory. Stop the vertical oscillation at an approximate level, then you may ”fine tune” the height by turning the knurled bolt head at the back of the motor.
Launching arm Timing adjustment The launching arm should be positioned as shown in this picture. A so called ”Top dead Center” has been established, and the most favorable setting for the launching arm is 3-4 degrees before top dead center, BTDC. The very back side of the launching arm is to be regarded as the reference line, when this back side at the very end (tip) of the arm is lining up with the leftmost timing mark, it is then said to be 3° before TDC.
Troubleshooting Problem The trap does not start Cause No power Targets are not released Two targets delivered at the same time Broken targets Faulty relay Solution Check the power supply. Check the overload breaker situated on the side of the motor connector box. All electronic work should be carried out by a qualified electrician. Replace the relay in the connector box. Target retainer wheel O- Replace the O-rings in the target elevator.
