Section 6 - GENERAL INFORMATION

6.1 - Standard Features And Capabilities
The Model TC3 Pill Counter is an electronic counter/filler. The TC3 will count most solid
oral dose products, including clear, translucent or center-hole. It is designed to be easy to
operate and maintain, and is ruggedly built to stand up to hard use and last for decades.
The electronics system includes two computers - one in the programmable logic controller
(PLC) and one in the Counting Sensor -, which are specially programmed for this application
to provide the most advanced features and performance.
The TC3 is designed for automatic production filling, but it can be used for manual filling
(one bottle at a time) and count verification (total counting).
Automatic Production Filler continuously fill one bottle after another with a
preset quantity, as a conveyor automatically supplies empty bottles and takes
away filled ones.
Manual Production Filler with each push of a button, fill one bottle with a preset quantity. Bottles may be supplied by conveyor or by hand.
Check Counter count the total contents of a pre-filled bottle.
The TC3 is a roll up design, so that is can be easily positioned over a conveyor that brings
bottles to and from the machine. The integral lift platform may be varied in height (manually
via hand crank or electrically, using the optional motor). The machine includes two bottleindexing air cylinders and three bottle sensors (supply, start and backup), with brackets for
mounting on industry standard conveyor rails. The TC3 is compatible with our Pharmafill
conveyors and most others that are less than 6 in width. .
The large supply hopper at the top of the machine is filled with a bulk quantity of pills.
Under the hopper is the variable speed vibratory feeder chute, which regulates the flow of
pills onto the rotating glass disc. The pills are rotated around the disc, where a single file row
of pills is directed from the edge of the disc to flow into the exit chute. As the flow leaves the
exit chute, it enters the counting head.
The first section of the counting head is the photoelectric counting window, where the pills
are counted. Below the window is the divider flag, which alternately diverts the flow of pills
to the left or right side chamber, as the target count is achieved. Below that is the trap flag,
which controls the flow of counted pills exiting the side chambers of the head, according to
the status of the bottle on the conveyor below.
Deitz Company Inc.
TC3 User Manual

Rev 2009-11-17
6.1 - Standard Features And Capabilities (Contd)

When filling a bottle, pills flow through one side chamber and exit through the bottom. The
exit of the opposite side chamber is blocked by the trap flag, creating a closed trap. When
the target count is reached, the divider flag splits the flow of pills and diverts it into the
closed trap. Counting continues as the filled bottle is removed. When a new bottle is in place,
the trap flag switches sides, allowing the pills in the trap to exit and counting continues..
In this manner, pills are continuously counted even as the bottles are moving in and out of
the filling station. If a fault occurs with bottles on the conveyor, counting will stop
automatically until the fault is cleared.

TARGET COUNT This is the total number of
pills to be counted into each bottle. When the
desired value is displayed, press ENTER.
SLOWDOWN COUNT When the Current
Count exceeds the Slowdown Count, the feeder
and disc speed will slow down (see Sec. 7G) until
the target count is reached, then normal speed will
resume. This produces greater accuracy at the
moment the target count is reached, when the
divider flag flips to start a new count. The value is
usually 10 to 20 less than the Target Count

7.5 - Menu 1. Adjust Settings (contd)

TRAP MAX COUNT As a filled bottle is
being replaced, the product flows into the closed
trap. If the Current Count exceeds the Trap Max
count before the bottle is detected, filling will stop
to prevent over-filling of the closed trap. This
value should be set so that the trap does not fill
with more product than can be dropped at
once without blocking the funnel.
FLAG DELAY When the Counting Sensor
detects the pill that matches the target count, there
must be a brief delay to allow that pill to fall from
the sensor area to the Divider flag. Typically this
delay is between 0.00 to 0.03 seconds and rarely
needs adjustment. Use the Fill One function to test
the setting (see menu item 2).
DROP TIME - When the Counting Sensor
detects the pill that matches the target count, there
must be a brief delay to allow that pill to fall
through the counting head, into the bottle. This is
the Drop Time. Typically this delay is between
0.20 to 0.40 seconds and rarely needs adjustment.
INDEX TIME When a bottle is filled, the
bottle gates cycle, allowing the filled bottle to
advance one position. The time it takes the bottle
to advance one position is the Index Time. The
gates then return to normal and the filled bottle is
released. The value for the Index Time depends
on bottle width and conveyor speed. See Section
7.12 for a full explanation.

7.6 - Menu 2. Fill One

In FILL ONE mode, the operator can fill one
bottle at a time, stopping after each bottle is filled
and released. Excess pills will be counted into the
closed trap and held for the next bottle. The
machine will now behave just as it does in RUN
mode, but will stop after the target count is
reached.
Note: This is a useful tool for setup and testing

7.11 - Counting Sensor

OVERVIEW
Detects solid (opaque) product and translucent or clear product, such as gel caps.
Automatically and continuously adjusts light level for maximum sensitivity
Compensates for dust buildup and sets alarm if conditions become marginal.
Threshold Adjustment how much the light level must drop to count.
When the light in the counting window is unblocked, the sensor detects 100% of the
light. When an object falls through the window, the light is blocked. If the threshold size
is set to 40%, the sensor will send a count signal when 40% of the light is blocked; that
is, when the light level falls below 60%. The sensor will reset when the light level rises
above 60% again. This is the factory setting and works with most products. The threshold
can be reduced to as low as 5%.
Adjustable in 5% increments
Light bar 1=5%
Light bar 8 = 40% (factory setting, most products)
One-Shot Delay Adjustment how long the count signal stays on.
This is used to stretch the count signal so a product with a clear center does not produce a
double count. Normally set at the minimum (5 ms) for solid product. For clear or
opaque product, increase the one-shot according to the length of the product. For
example, 10 ms for round gel caps .25 long, or 40 ms for oblong gel caps .90 long.
Adjustable in 5 millisecond increments
Light bar 1 = 5 ms (factory setting, for solid product)
Light bar 8 = 40 ms (for long clear products)

GUIDE BLOCK
WIDTH
SCALE
The Product Guides must be adjusted to create a

steady flow of product down the channel, into the
chute and through the center of the counting
window. The flow must be single file, one level
high. There are five adjustments.
1. Adjustment 1 - WIDTH
The width of the channel is adjusted by moving
the Guide Block Assembly side-to-side. So that
the Guide Block will open fully, make sure that
the Guide Plate depth is not limiting the travel.
Loosen the two knobs on the Guide Plate Clamp
and slide the plate to the front (towards you).
Width Adjustment
To adjust, begin by loosening the knob and
moving the guide block to the left.
PRODUCT

PLATE
Place a few pills in the channel and move the

guide to the right so that only a single file row
may pass down the channel. Leave enough room
so that the product will flow freely. Tighten the
knob.

Deitz Company Inc.
First, the Guide Plate must be installed with the

proper side up. The Guide Plate is labeled to
indicate which side should be up, based in the
setting of the Width Scale. If the Width Scale is
near the middle (5), either side may be up. To
change to Guide Plate, loosen two knobs and
remove the Guide Plate. Take the Product Guide
out of the slot and place it in the other slot. Reinstall the Guide Plate and tighten the knobs.
Depth Adjustment
Loosen the two knobs on the Guide Plate a small
amount, only enough to move the plate. Slide it
forward until it touches the edge of the glass disc,
and then move it back a bit, so that it does not
drag on the disc (adjust for minimum clearance).
As you tighten the two knobs, push down on the
back end of the Guide Plate, so that the pointed tip
of the Product Guide is resting on the glass disc.
Use your fingertip to confirm the point is down on
the glass. If you can feel the point, it is too high.
Note the position of the Guide Plate as indicated
on the Depth Scale. It should be approximately
the same number as on the Width Scale.
Also, before you tighten the knobs, you may slide
the product guide back and forth in its slot. The
default position is when the pointed tip of the
Product Guide aligns with the second slot in the
air guide.

To count properly, objects must fall directly from

the chute into the center of the counting head.
This way the object will fall through the center of
the light source of the counting window and strike
the divider flag at the same angle whether
diverting right or left.
The centering adjustment is needed because when
you make a change to the width of the Product
Guide, you are moving the left side of the chute.
As the width of the chute changes, so does the
location of the centerline.

Adjustments 4 & 5 AIR GUIDE HEIGHT
The Air Guides work for all types of product
(tabs, caps, etc.). Compares to solid mechanical
guides, they separate the product better, are easier
to adjust and are not prone to stoppages that
require operator intervention.
HEIGHT
SCALE
Air Guide Height Adjustment

To set the Air Guides, loosen the knobs on the air
guide blocks. Use the handle on the air manifold
to rotate the Air Jets up or down.
AIR
NOZZLES
Set the height of the Air Jets so that the air flows
just above the pills in the channel. Generally, they
should be set at approximately 2 pills high.
If set too low, the air will disturb the flow in the
channel, impeding the flow and possibly blowing
pills right out of the channel. If set too high, faults
might not be rejected. You can fine-tune this
adjustment while running the product during
testing.
Once set at the right height, tighten the knobs.
Note the position on the Height Scale.

pressure by rotating the ring upwards, until you
have satisfactory results.

machine height to bring the bottom of the top of
the bottle approximately 1/8 to 1/4" below the
funnel. Make sure the bottle is centered under the
funnel left-to-right and front-to-back.
4. Turn on the conveyor and set to the desired
speed. Place 5 to 10 bottles on the conveyor. The
bottles will move down until the first one comes
to rest at Gate 1
5. Position Gate 1 so that the first bottle is held
directly under the funnel. Position Gate 2 so it is a
distance downstream from Gate 1 equal to the
width of one bottle.
6. Use 4. Half-Step Index several times to test
the position of Gate 2. Adjust the position of Gate
2 so that bottles are not struck by Gate 1 when it
extends. Bottle should not be kicked by Gate 1.
7. Use 3. Index One to test the index time.

8.4 - Testing To Establish Parameters

For each product to be counted, you will have to establish the correct parameters for the best
combination of speed and accuracy. We recommend the following method.
Hand count a certain quantity of product (100 in this example) into a container. This will
be your test batch.
Use the test batch to set the basic product guide adjustments to the machine for this
product and note the settings.
8.5 First - Use Count Check Mode
Select Check Count Mode. Count the test batch several times, starting at a very moderate
speed.
If the counts are inaccurate, check the guide settings and continue counting.
Once the counts are accurate and repeatable, increase the speed of the feeder and/or disc
slightly and continue counting.
Above a certain speed for each product, you will not be able to maintain accuracy. Go
back to a lower speed and consider this the maximum speed for that product. Note the
speed setting for the feeder and disc.
8.6 Second - Use Fill One Mode
Select Fill One Mode. Set the TARGET COUNT to 50 and your SLOWDOWN COUNT
to 49 (for now). Pour all the test batch of 100 onto the disc and use Manual mode to
check the action of divider flag. Do this several times. The excess overrun quantity (for
example, 5 or 6 pieces) in the closed trap should be accurately counted. Adjust the FLAG
DELAY if it is not accurate.
If the overrun is consistently more when directed to one-side than the other, the head may
not be centered properly.
The amount of the overrun can help you to set the SLOWDOWN COUNT value: for
example, if the overrun is consistently around 10 pieces, you should set the Slowdown
Count to be at least 10 less than the Target Count (because that is how many pass before
the disc is can slow down or stop.)
8.7 Last - Use Run Mode
Only go to Run Mode after proving the speed and accuracy are optimized.

9.6 - Cleaning Recommendations

Washdown
This machine is not waterproof and is not intended for full wash down. If full washdown
is performed on the equipment near the machine, it must be completely protected by a
waterproof cover or by other means. Washdown will void the warranty.
Cleaning solutions
Glass and stainless steel are resistant to most cleaning solutions. Other contact materials
such as aluminum and nonmetallics (plastics, or rubber) are generally less corrosionresistant and care should be exercised in their cleaning. Aluminum is readily attacked by
acids as well as highly alkaline cleaners, which can render the surface non-cleanable.
Plastics are subject to stress cracking and clouding from prolonged exposure to corrosive
cleaning agents. Use a USDA approved sanitizing solution that is safe for all materials
listed below, in a spray bottle, by lightly wiping down all contact surfaces. In the absence
of such a cleaner, recommendations follow.
Recommendations
Glass (tempered): This material is resistant to damage from most cleaners. Routine
cleaning can be done with soap and water, alcohol or acetone.
Stainless steel: This material is resistant to damage from most cleaners. Routine cleaning
can be done with soap and water, alcohol or acetone.

9.6 - Cleaning Recommendations (Contd)

Anodized aluminum: Any highly acidic or alkaline cleaner will etch the aluminum over
time and damage it. Soap and water, or alcohol is acceptable.
Clear plastic: The clear plastic material is polycarbonate (known as Lexan). Cleaning
with alcohol or acetone will damage it and should never be used. Ammonia or any strong
cleaner will make it cloudy over time. It may be safely cleaned with soap and water.
Other plastic: All other manufactured plastic parts are made from acetal (known as
Delrin). It is resistant to damage from most cleaners. Routine cleaning can be done with
soap and water, or alcohol. White acetal will yellow over time due to exposure to
ultraviolet light in the environment. This is normal and cannot be removed by cleaning.
Some cleaner may accelerate this process.

Section 10 - TECHNICAL INFORMATION

10.1 - PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Pharmafill Model TC3 is an electronic pill counter/filler. It can count objects other than
pills, but the primary purpose is to count pills (tablets, capsules, caplets, most solid oral dose
products). The pills are counted using photoelectric sensing. Once counted the pills are
directed into pre-staged bottles. It may be used as a check counter, as a manual bottle-filling
machine (one bottle at a time), or as a fully automatic filler (one bottle after another,
continuously).
A supply of product to be counted is distributed to a rotating glass disc. A single-file stream
of pills is guided off the edge of the glass and down a curved chute, where the pills space out
as they fall. As the pills exit the chute, they pass though the counting window, containing a
light source and light receiver that are connected to a microprocessor-controlled Counting
Sensor. As each pill briefly blocks the light source, the Counting Sensor detects the change
in light level and sends a count signal to a programmable logic controller (PLC), which
maintains the tally.
The PLC compares the tally against three pre-set values: trap max count, slowdown count
and target count. The trap max count must be less than the slowdown count and the
slowdown count must be less than the target count. When the slowdown count is met, the
rotation speed of the glass disc slows down. This aids in the action of the divider flag (see
below). When the target count is matched, the glass disc resumes full speed.
After passing through the counting window, the pills strike the divider flag, which directs the
stream of pills into the active side of a 2-sided chamber. Both chambers converge at the
bottom to a single discharge point. The trap flag closes the chamber that is not active. When
the tally matches the target count, the divider flag switches sides, starting a new count at zero
into the closed chamber. The filled bottle will be released and a new bottle brought in.
The action of the divider flag is must be timed perfectly to split the stream of pills precisely
after last pill of the target count and before the first pill of the next count.
When a new bottle is detected under the discharge area, the trap flag switches sides, which
opens the active chamber and closes the inactive one. Should the bottle be removed during
filling, the trap flag switches sides again, closing the active chamber and filling is stopped.
In Run Mode, this process goes on continuously, except as stopped by error detection.
In Fill One Mode, the process will stop each time the target count is met. The divider flag
will flip and any excess pills will be tallied but the stream will stop.
In Check Count Mode, the process will only deliver and count the product. It will not
automatically reset to zero, flip the divider flag, nor the trap flag; the user must press RESET
or TRAP to do this. The Target and Slowdown counts are not used.

Preventive maintenance
There is little preventative maintenance required on the machine other than routine cleaning and
inspection. There are no lubrication points. All bearing are sealed and/or permanently lubricated.
Every six months
1. Remove the right side access panel.
2. Visually inspect the condition and tightness of the disc drive belt. If the belt appears
excessively loose, you may adjust it by loosening the motor assembly mounting screws and
moving the motor assembly back. Adjust it so there is no slack. Since it is a toothed belt,
there is no need for additional tension. If the belt is appears worn, replace it.
P0418
Belt,Gear - 150XL037
3. Visually inspect the condition of the flags and flag linkages. If the hole in the white Nylon
bushing (bearing) on the flag pin appears excessively worn, replace the bushing
(bearing).The shape of the hole should be round. Oval shape of the hole indicates wear.
FM3520
TC3 Flag Pin Bearing
Safety device
There are no hazardous aspects to the routine operation of the machine. There are no dangerous
moving parts or sharp edges. Therefore there are no guards or interlocks to prevent operation.
For quick, convenient stoppage of the machine operation, there is a twist-to-unlock emergency stop
button. The machine will not restart when the stop switch is released. The start button must be
pressed to start.
For safe internal inspection and service, there is a lockable main power disconnect switch. The is an
internal main circuit breaker and individual fuses for each major electrical load.

Counting Sensor Software Specification

Page 1
Software technical specification for Modified Banner D10BFPQ Fiber Optic Sensor
LEGAL NOTICE: The following information is proprietary intellectual property of Deitz Company Inc. and may not be used by others without
specific written permission from Deitz Company.
New generation Pharmafill Pill Counter machines use a specially modified sensor, custom-engineered for Deitz
Company by Banner Engineering, the world-class manufacturer of photoelectric sensors. The following information
describes the Deitz Company custom software specification.
Definitions
Threshold - the percentage the light level must drop before a count signal output turns on. A threshold value of 40%
means the light level must drop to under 60% (compared to 100% when unblocked) to turn on the output signal.
One-shot delay the uniform time that the output signal stays on, regardless of how long the light level actually stays
below the threshold. This adjustment is used to compensate for the possibility of double counts with clear or
translucent product, by increasing the signal duration so that it stays on until after the clear center has passed through
the counting window. For solid products, the signal duration is minimized.
Wrap when making adjustments on the sensor, as indicated by the 8-segment light bar, if you attempt to increase the
value above 8, it will wrap down to 1. If you attempt to decrease the value below 1, it will wrap up to 8.

3.2. Clear signal tracking algorithm software

3.2.1.
Each power up, or after time-out of adjustment mode, automatically matches the emitter power (light source) to
the light receiver, for maximum sensitivity, regardless of dust buildup or other environmental considerations
3.2.1.1. The light bar will turn off and remain off until the process is complete
3.2.1.2. The sensor light source (emitter) will cycle from low to high power and reset at the proper level
3.2.1.3. After approximately 2 seconds the process is complete and the sensor returns to normal.
3.2.1.4. Push-button access - Press and hold (+) push-button for greater than 2 seconds to initiate
3.2.2.
Dynamically regenerates the threshold level every 100ms based on a low-pass filtered clear signal level, to
compensate for dust buildup, etc., between optimization cycles
3.2.3.
Drift Alarm - If the filtered clear signal level degrades (drifts down slowly) to the point that the system may soon
become unreliable, the outputs will alarm (lock on) and remain on until the sensor is cleaned and an optimization
cycle is performed.
3.2.3.1. Light bar LEDs 5 8 (upper half) will flash
3.2.4.
Blockage Alarm - If the peak clear signal level is darker than the dark threshold for more than 100ms, the outputs
will alarm (lock on) and remain on until the blockage is removed
3.2.4.1. Light bar LEDs 1 4 (lower half) will flash
