Procedure to remove water from the sorter tubing:
(If water is used for optional systems: Bull nose, Belt water sprinkler, Water Cooling system,
FSV-module, ...)
- Switch off the water supply to the installation (switch off chiller (option) and/or turn off the mains
water supply).
- Disconnect the tubes from the main water valves on the outside of the sorter unit. Do not forget
to empty all tubes to prevent leaks due to freezing or big temperature changes. For more info on
connections to sorter unit, see chapter 2: pre-installation guide.
- Disconnect the water tubes from the optional water-using systems on the sorter unit: belt cleaning
and/or FSV-module (option) cleaning system and use compressed air to blow all the water out of the
tubing.
- If water is used to cool internal systems (such as optional laser box), disconnect the tubes inside
the sorter unit from those systems. Make sure to place the end of the tube outside the sorter unit (if
possible) or place a container to collect all the water, and use compressed air to blow all the water
out of the tubing.
Attention! - Make sure never to spill any water on any electrical, electronic or optical
components! This can seriously affect the sorting effi ciency and even cause
damages to certain components.
When switching the sorter unit back on after a hibernation period:
- Before restoring power to the sorter installation, one should fi rst reconnect all tubes to all water-using
systems/options on and inside the sorter unit, and connect the water supply tubing to the main water
valves of the unit.
- Next switch on the main water supply (and/or fi ll the cooling unit with water and switch it on), and make
sure all tubes are properly connected (without water leaks).
- Restore power to the sorter installation and switch on the sorter unit (see Complete Start-up procedure
chapter 5).
Attention: - Always take into account the warm-up time for the lights and optics (+/-30
min. after a longer stop), before taking reference lines/normalizations.
Always switch on the Cooling unit (option) several minutes (10’ to 15’) before switching on the sorter.
This will give the Cooling unit some time to lower the temperature of the cooling water.
