Safety Device Check
Make sure power is turned ON at the main
disconnect switch and the compressed air
supply is ON.
Go to the front and press a green Start but
-
ton (Figure 2-29, A) at one of the stations.
All rotating and conveying elements of the
feeder should operate.
The CHI panel (Figure 2-29, B) will
display the start-up diagnostic messages.
The main air valve will open and supply
compressed air to the unit.
Press a square red Start button at the sta
-
tion just tested.
Repeat Steps 2 to 4 for the other station.
NOTE: During normal operation,
the START/STOP lamp glows
steadily. The lamp flashes when a
red operator STOP button or a red
safety STOP button is pressed.
NOTE: If the unit is part of a
line with the Interconnected Stop
Circuit option, turn power ON at
the main disconnect switch to
each of the other machines in the
line.
There are six red safety STOP buttons (Fig-
ure 2-29, C) arrayed around the unit, four
in front, two in back:
With the unit running, test each button
in turn to make sure the machine comes
to a complete stop and compressed air
pressure is released.
The CHI Panel should display the loca-
tion of the depressed STOP button.
These are twist-lock buttons so turn
each one clockwise to release it before
attempting to start the unit again.
