2.6.4. Fully de-energizing AC power (plug-in machines)
A power cord lockout device (shown in Figure 2-12 on page 71) is required for
this procedure.
To safely de-energize the Sure Sort AC Distribution enclosure, the incoming
power must be shut off by disconnecting and locking out the machine’s power
cord from the customer’s AC receptacle. An Authorized Employee or qualified
electrician must proceed as follows:
1. Complete all steps under “LOTO - Machine maintenance and repair” on
page 72.
2. Disconnect the AC main power cord from the receptacle.
3. Install the OPEX lockout device over the AC plug as follows (refer to
Figure 2-17 on page 76):
a. Place the AC plug inside the device and close the device. Slide the two
halves of the device as directed on the cover to lock them together
(refer to the arrows and labels on the device).
b. Install the padlock through the loop on the lockout device. Keep the
padlock key on your person at all times while working on the machine.
Additional holes in the lockout device allow for multiple padlocks to be
installed.
Only an Authorized Employee or qualified electrician is permitted to perform
this procedure.
