ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1.0 Wiring the Pump (2018 / 1 phase)
Connect the pressure/vacuum pump at the pump
junction box (Figure 5) using the attached cable. Follow the
instructions below for the proper connections.
There are six wires from the control box to the pump.
Wire #1 connects to the terminal marked 1 in the pump
motor. Wire #2 connects to the terminal marked 4 in the
pump motor. Wires #3 ,#4 ,#5 & #6 are not used and should
be taped off separately. The green wire is the ground that is
attached to the motor frame.
1.1 Other Connections
Refer to the serial number plate for electrical
requirements. The serial number plate notes the voltage,
phase and hertz, minimum time delay fuse, total machine
amperage, and minimum wire conductor size for the main
power connection.
The main power is connected directly to the line side of
the main power switch. In a 2018 single phase use L1 and
L2 only.
All electrical connections are to be made by a certified
electrician. Refer to local building electrical codes for proper
and safe connections.
For the following items, refer to Figure 6. Run a power
cable from your distribution box to the main control box on
the pile feeder. Turn the main power switch to zero. Using
the appropriate tool, open the latches on the control box
door and open the door.
NOTE
: The door is connected to the main box by a ground
wire that should not be removed.

1.2 Tapping the Transformer
Pass the power cable through the strain relief and the
hole provided in the control box. Connect the power cable
to the open terminals on the main disconnect in the control
box. The incoming ground wire should be attached to the
ground stud located in the lower right-hand corner of the
control box.
To tap the transformer, read the incoming voltage at the
main disconnect. Then move the wire numbered 11L1 on the
transformer to the corresponding tap on the transformer.
Tighten all screw connections and close the door before
switching the machine on.
A connector is provided for power connection to the
stacker. The stacker must be plugged into the socket for the
machine to operate, if not, install the blind plug attached to
the box.
A connector is provided for power connection to the
second station (8-page) fold unit. If no additional folding
station is to be connected, the connector must be closed off
with a blind plug.
1.3 Pump Connections
Connect the air hoses to the pump. The small diameter
hose is connected to the vacuum side of the pump. Connect
it to the barbed fitting above the ball valve on one end and
the other end to the vacuum solenoid valve on the pile
feeder.
Connect the larger diameter hose to the remaining
outlet port on the pump and to the barbed fitting on the pile
feeder at the end of the blow bar.
Troubleshooting tips and actions required for the
display messages that may appear on the control readout
may be found the "Diagnostic Messages" section of the
manual.
