4
amounts of water, particulate, or aerosols
from entering the air gun console.
Please note that the failure to use clean,
dry air or nitrogen (as defined in this
section) may result in damage to the
3M™ 980 Ionized Air Gun that will not
be covered by warranty.
5.0 Installation
Choose a location convenient to the work
area and to the air supply. The console
takes up very little space and is adaptable
to a variety of permanent or non-
permanent installations. To minimize
bends in the air gun hose, orient the
console so that the open end that accepts
the filtered air hose to the hand unit points
toward the work area, and the male
connector points toward the air supply.
See Figure 1.
5.1
Mounting the Console
Prior to mounting, plug one end of the
supplied 10 foot (3 m) RJ-11 cable into
the jack on the back of the console.
Lay the cable inside the groove inside
the console. Mount the console using
the instructions below.
5.2 Permanent Mounting
•
Attach the supplied mounting
plate to the threaded holes on the
back of the console, using the
supplied screws. See Figure 1.
•
Attach the plate to a flat surface,
such as a wall or back of a
workbench, using suitable screws
and fasteners. When mounting to a
hollow wall, be sure to use
adequate screws and wall anchors
to ensure stability of installation.
5.3 Non-permanent Mounting
Use 3M™ Dual Lock fastener strips
or pads to attach the console to a
flat surface.
5.4 Mounting onto an air supply
When an air supply is close to
the work area and fitted with a U.S.-
standard industrial interchange quick
coupling, you can attach the console to
the air supply fitting directly using the
female quick coupler provided with the
console. If a U.S.-standard industrial
interchange quick change is not
available on the air supply, be sure to
use a suitable interconnect between the
air supply and the console, including a
prefilter as defined in Section 4.0.
