Installation and Setup
WARNING
The following procedures should be performed by qualified persons in
accordance with this manual and applicable safety regulations. A “qualified person” is defined as “a
person or persons who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate or professional training, or
who, by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to
solve problems relating to the subject matter and work.” (ref. ANSI/ASME B30.2-1983.)
Unpacking and Inspection
1) Remove all packing materials and strapping. Thoroughly inspect the exterior of the machine for
damage, loose fasteners, etc. Gently move the X & Y axis slides to the center of the work area.
2) At the rear of the machine, inspect all tubing connections, gauges, and regulators.
3) Open the electrical enclosure and visually inspect connectors and components for vibration during
shipping. Close the door, as the machine should not operate with the doors open (All accept .
4) Reinstall the Light tower.
5) Reinstall flow monitor. The flow monitor is typically mounted on the rear of the workcell.
6) Reinstall the main air regulator assembly.
NOTE: Step 3 does not apply to PVA250™ models.
Installation
1) Plug the machine into an appropriate power source as determined by the Machine Specific Information
section of the Operating Guide or the legend plate on the rear of the machine. The electrical service
should be properly grounded, and the power source “clean”. If there is high power equipment
operating off the same source, a line conditioner may be necessary. Errors in machine operation could
indicate poor quality power.
WARNING
Failure to comply with electrical specifications can result in damage to the
machine as well as injury to installation personnel. Electrical hookup must be made by a qualified
electrician and must comply with any applicable local standards.
2) A ¼” NPT female fitting is provided at the rear of the machine (PVA250™ models have a ¼” quick
disconnect fitting). Connect to a source of clean, dry air. A hose of ¼” inside diameter is sufficient.
3) Ground any pressure vessel to earth or the machine.
NOTE: Precision Valve & Automation
STRONGLY recommends the machine not be powered on or material added to the pressure vessels
until they are properly grounded.
4) Close any access doors and push in the
EMERGENCY STOP
button. At the rear of the machine, turn
on the red air lockout valve (PVA250™ models are not equipped with an air lockout).
5) Turn on power at the red handled switch on the front or rear of the machine (PVA250™ models have a
black “rocker” switch on the rear next to the power cord).
