the source of the fault. These faults are not field repairable and require the change-out of the control
module.
Any detected fault causes the FLT output to be turned OFF until the fault is cleared.
INSTALLATION
Installation comprises four basic steps: 1) Installing the probes, 2) Mounting the control module, 3)
Wiring the unit, and 4) Setting system options. Each of these steps is further expanded below.
Safety
Power
When performing installation, service or maintenance on the eqiupment, disconnect power to the
machine and Lock Out/Tag Out the power in accordance with your plant standard operating procedures.
Hazardous Locations
This equipment is suitable for operation in non-hazardous locations only.
Installing the Probes
1. Mount the double detecting infeed probes, one above and one below the centerline of the track
carrying the ends into the press. The probes must be positioned such that they are centered on
the can end during the dwell portion of the press cycle. In the vertical, the track should run
midway through a gap of approximately 5/8 inch (16mm) between the probes.
2. Positioning of the tab detecting probes is more critical than the positioning of the infeed probes.
For most tabbed ends, the optimum position for the probes is above and below the ring of the
tab, not centered on the rivet. Centering on the rivet only works on some older tab designs
where the tab formed a ring around the rivet. If positioning of the tab sensing probes is
uncertain, contact Prime Controls for help.
Mount the tab detecting probes, one above and one below the tabbed ends as they are carried
on the track from the press. The probes must be positioned such that they are centered on the
tab ring during the dwell portion of the press cycle. In the vertical, the track should run midway
through a gap of approximately 5/8 inch (16mm) between the probes.
3. Run the probe cabling through conduit back to the cabinet housing the control module. Do not
run the sensor cables through conduit carrying high level or noisy signals.
Mounting the Control Module
Mount the control module on the back panel of a grounded industrial enclosure. Insure that the
mounting screws make good electrical contact between the module housing and the grounded control
enclosure back panel. Alternatively, connect a grounding wire to one of the mounting screws to provide
a ground. In the case of grounding the controller to a panel door, insure that the door is properly
