that all the air and power requirements for the VMC have been met.
Note: After unpacking the APC remove the pallet fixing bolts and take the pallets
down from the top of the APC. Do not reinstall the pallets onto the APC until
it has been properly attached to the VMC and leveled.
CAUTION! The pallets have wipers on the bottom of the clamp rails at the VMC end.
These wipers should overhang any temporary storage postion.
M CODES - INSTALLATION
The following M codes are used during the APC Installation procedure. These M codes are not intended to be
used to program the APC at any other time.
M14 Go to pallet #1 load position
M15 Go to pallet #2 load position
M17 Unclamp pallet and open automatic door
M18 Clamp pallet and close automatic door
