Pneumatic Controls and Indicators
The pneumatic system for the inserter and sequencer has a regulator that is
factory set at 80 psi and a locking element installed. The regulator is located
on the right wall of the front, center compartment of the base cabinet.
A low air pressure sensor senses line air pressure. If the air pressure drops
below 60psi, the low air pressure sensor shuts the machine down. This
pressure sensor is not adjustable. Insufficient flow can cause a pressure drop
that will activate the sensor.

Pneumatic Lockout / Tagout
When the pneumatic lockout valve is closed, a lockout / tagout device can be
applied to prevent accidental opening of the valve. Refer to your company's
policy regarding the proper procedures to be followed during machine repair.
This machine is equipped with a pneumatic lockout/tagout system. The
pneumatic lockout/tagout valve is used to prevent pressurized air from
reaching the machine. When the lockout/tagout system is used to prevent
pressurized air from reaching the machine, the valve is positioned so that it
can be locked and or tagged to notify personnel that work is being done on
the machine. All tags or locks shall meet your company safety standards for
this type of device.
Machine Configuration
Before attempting to operate the machine, IM-UPS must be configured to
match the hardware configuration of the machine.
NOTE
The machine configuration is defined at the factory and should not have
to be defined or changed unless the hardware configuration changes.
The machine configuration window can be used to configure the current
machine or to define a machine configuration template. The template is used
by the Product Editor for creating products at a desktop PC. The Product
Editor assumes the characteristics of the selected machine.
There are minor differences between using the window for configuring the
machine or creating a template. These differences are noted in the procedure.
