Connecting Utilities and Initial Set-up
Follow these steps to set up and connect the Model 8250 machine:
1.
Connect a compressed air line to the fitting labeled SUPPLY AIR on the motor
enclosure. See Figure 3-3. Both a 1/4 inch (6mm) pipe thread and barbed fittings are
provided. With the barbed fitting, always use a hose clamp to lock the hose onto the
barbs.
2.
Connect the electrical supply to the connector labeled POWER IN.
3.
Reverse the safety enclosure handle on the front door.
4.
If you purchased a pneumatic clamp with the system, route the hose assembly under
the back panel of the safety enclosure and connect the fittings to the four male
connectors labeled PNEUMATIC FIXTURE on the motor enclosure. To connect
the fittings, depress the metal tabs and push the assembly over the connectors. You
can hear an audible click when the fittings lock in place.
5.
Route the cables that connect the tup and detector to the Dynatup data system under
the back panel of the safety enclosure. Refer to the section on Tup Installation .
6.
Connect the short (3 ft./ 1m) tup lead to the long (20 ft./6.5m) tup cable and secure
the connectors in place with the clamp on the right rear corner post.
7.
The hand-held control pendent is connected to the Model 8250 by a 10 ft. (3m) cable
with connectors on both ends. Connect one end of the cable to the connector labeled
CONTROLLER PENDENT on the motor enclosure (see Fig. 3-3), and the other end
to the pendent. Be sure to align the connectors properly and push straight in – do not
twist them.
8.
Turn the power on.
9.
Close the safety enclosure doors. The yellow ARM button on the control pendent
illuminates. If the light does not illuminate, refer to Chapter 7, Troubleshooting, or
call Instron Dynatup.
