After you have done so, use the following procedure to begin regular production.
1. First, verify the following:
A. Handler is plugged into power outlet with working EARTH ground connection.
B. If the type of changeover kit requires it, the handler is connected to a dry air pressure
supply of 80 PSI, +/-3 PSI. The air supply must be free from moisture and oil.
C. The programmer/tester is properly docked to the back of the handler. Verify that the
programmer/tester is installed with the correct "Pin 1" orientation.
NOTE: Do not run the handler with the programmer/tester undocked. If you do, the handler will release
parts out of the test site onto the floor.
2. Verify that the proper changeover kit is installed on the handler.
Check:
A. Octoloader input tube holder plate.
B. Main test site rail assembly.
C. Correct size plunger bar. (Plunge-to-board change kits.)
D. Shuttle assembly. (May be insert only.)
