Procedure
1. Install the specimen mover in the support hole of the
machine.
2. Use the Allen key to tighten the two fastening screws.
Do not tighten the screws completely.
A Support hole
B Fastening screws
8.1.4 Electrical connection to the machine
Hint
The communication cable in the support hole is not used for LaboForce-100.
The cable attached to LaboForce-100 provides a 24 V power supply and a data bus, which
enables the machine and LaboForce-100 to communicate.
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Connect the cable to the LaboForce-100 connector on the back of the machine.
8.1.5 Compressed-air connections
Procedure
Note
The main air valve is not a part of the unit and must be installed and set before the
specimen mover is installed.
1. Fit the quick coupling on the compressed air hose and secure it with the hose clamp.
2. Connect the air inlet hose to the quick coupling.
3. Fit the other end of the air inlet hose into the compressed air inlet on the specimen mover.
Note
The air pressure must be between 6 bar (87 psi) and 9.9 bar (143 psi).
Hint
The specimen mover requires a continuous flow of compressed air through the
regulator valve – a faint hissing sound does not mean that there is an air leak.
8.1.6 The specimen mover
The specimen mover can be used with specimen mover plates for single specimens or specimen
holders for multiple specimens.
