2. Installation
The control/signal modules are typically installed by ATI prior to shipment. The steps below outline the field
installation or removal as required.
2.1 Installing
1.
It may be necessary to clean the mounting surface on the Tool Changer prior to installing the module
in order to remove any debris that may be present.
2.
Using the ledge feature as a guide place the module into the appropriate location on the Tool
Changer body. Align the module with the Tool Changer using the dowels in the bottom of the ledge
3.
If fasteners do not have pre-applied adhesive, apply Loctite 242
®
to the supplied M6 SHCS
fasteners. Install the two (2) M6 socket head screws securing the module to the Tool Changer and
tighten to 40–70 in-lbs.

2.2 Removal
1.
Prior to removing the module use a marker pen to scribe a line or indication between the Tool
Changer and module body as a reminder where the module is to be re-installed.
2.
Depending upon the service or repair being done, customer connections up to the module may or
may not need to be disconnected. Also, proximity sensor and valve cables may or may not need to
be disconnected.
3.
Remove the socket head cap screws and lift the module from the Tool Changer.
CAUTION:
It is recommended, not to use fasteners with pre-applied adhesive
more than three times. Fasteners used more than three times may come loose
and cause equipment damage. Discard fasteners used more than three times
and install new fasteners with pre-applied adhesive.
WARNING:
Do not perform maintenance or repair on Tool Changer or modules unless
the tool is safely supported or docked in the tool stand and all energized circuits (e.g.
electrical, air, water, etc.) have been turned off. Injury or equipment damage can occur
with tool not docked and energized circuits on. Dock the tool safely in the tool stand
and turn off all energized circuits before performing maintenance or repair on Tool
Changer or modules.
