3  Assembly and Installation 

 

PRIOR TO GETTING STARTED 

 

 

WARNING! These systems operate using 110VAC and 24VDC. Do not touch any bare or 
exposed wires or terminals without confirming the system is not powered. 

 

WARNING! Wear safety glasses at all times. 

 

WARNING! Unplug the system during any assembly, disassembly, and related repairs. 

 

WARNING! To protect the electronics from dust and other particles in the air, tighten all 
cable glands, and do not leave the enclosure door open during normal operation. 

 

WARNING! AMCOL 6000-ETC systems are only designed to function with 6000E 
applicators and correctly retrofitted 6000P applicators with dual solenoid controls. For 
installation instructions for 6000E applicators, see the 6000E Operator’s Manual.  

 

Installation 

 

1.

 

Review the system to see that no obvious damage has occurred in 
shipment. 

2.

 

See that all components are included and appropriate for your piece of 
equipment. 

3.

 

Ensure the system is located near a 110VAC outlet for power.  

4.

 

Mount the system controls in a well-protected area, which can be easily 
accessed by operations and maintenance personnel.   

5.

 

Attach prewired solenoid caps to existing dual solenoid connections.  

6.

 

Connect control signal wire from PLC or machine to ETC at input 0 
through open cable gland. See wiring diagram for details. 

7.

 

Connect low-level switch from 6000E reservoir to ETC at input 1. See wiring 
diagram for details. 

8.

 

Ensure the 6000E system is installed correctly, and is ready to operate. 
Standard wire length from ETC to 6000E is 2’. 

9.

 

Operate the ETC manually, observing that the ETC and 6000E system 
function correctly together.  

10.

 

Adjust injection rate timing as necessary. 

11.

 

Under careful observation, operate system in production environment.
