Chapter 3: Installation

3-1 Uncrating

24-Pump, 128-Station Controllers are shipped mounted on a skid, enclosed in a plastic wrapper, and contained in a cardboard box.

1. Pry the crating away from the skid.

Note: Remove the nails holding the box to the skid and lift the box off carefully; avoiding staples in the 1’ x 4’ wood supports. Cut the steel banding.

2.Use a pry bar to remove the blocks securing the unit to the skid.

3.Lift unit from sides, inserting forklift under the base. The forks must be equidistant from the centerline of the unit and the unit must be balanced on the forks. Lift slowly and only high enough to clear the skid. Use a pry bar if necessary to carefully remove the skid from the unit.

4.Lower slowly.

3-2 Mounting the Control Panel

Note: Before you mount the panel, consider how you run wiring to the KwikLink connectors, ArmorBlocks, vacuum hoppers, the filter cham- ber atmospheric valve (if so equipped) and the pump motor starter(s), vacuum switch(es), and vent valve(s).

Mount the control panel on a flat, vertical area. It should be a visible area that gives your operator access to the control. The panel requires a low voltage power drop as listed on the serial tag.

3-3 System Installation Overview

Installing the 24-pump 128-station controller is easy and straightforward. Because the system uses networked distributed I/O modules, you’ll only need to run two cables for the entire system.

The following is a typical installation sequence:

1.Set up mounting plates with tubing clamps; install KwikLink™ connectors and ArmorBlocks bases onto mounting plates as required.

2.Install KwikLink connectors and ArmorBlock™ base plates to vacuum tubing at each node location, just before a T-fitting or valve.

3.Run the black power and the grey network flat cables from the start of the system to the end, attaching them to vacuum tubing with nylon cable ties

4.Install cable terminations.

5.Determine location of network system nodes, and set addresses for ArmorBlocks as required.

6.Set up and connect to the controller and, if purchased, remote display. Connect grey patch cords from controller terminals to KwikLink connectors installed in Step 3.

7.After determining quantity and location(s) of where to install system power supply(ies) (consult factory); set up and connect to KwikLink connectors installed in Step 3.
