1.5
Electric Control Option
1.5.1
Electric remote controls (electro-pneumatic) are
recommended when the nozzle and remote control handle
are farther than 100 feet from the blast machine. Pressure
loss of pneumatic systems over longer distances increases
actuation time, which prevents fast, safe operation.
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Factory
installation:
If the remote control has
been factory installed, skip to Paragraph 2.4. If the
remote system is equipped with the optional ACS
feature skip to Section 2.3.
2.2 Field
Installation:
Refer to Figure 1.
WARNING
Failure to observe the following procedure
could cause serious injury or death from the
sudden release of compressed air.
•
Empty the blast machine of abrasive.
•
Depressurize the blast machine.
•
Lockout and tagout the compressed air
supply.
•
Bleed the air supply line to the blast
machine.
2.2.1
Remove the existing inlet valve and replace it
with the TLR Inlet Valve. The directional arrow on the
valve points toward the blast machine, indicating the
direction of air flow.
2.2.2
Remove the existing outlet valve.
2.2.3
Install the abrasive trap on the blast machine as
shown in Figure 1. The air flow directional arrow points
away from the machine, and with the screen end up and
clean-out down.
2.2.4
Install the piston or diaphragm outlet valve as
follows:
2.2.4.1
Piston outlet valves must have the directional
arrow pointing away from the abrasive trap. Attach an
elbow and optional muffler. The muffler must face up as
shown in Figure 1.
-OR-
2.2.4.2
Diaphragm outlet valves should be installed as
shown, with the optional muffler facing up.
WARNING
Clemco supplies an exhaust muffler with all
blast machines of 2 cu. ft. capacity and larger.
The muffler reduces exhaust noise and
prevents abrasive from exhausting upward or
sideways into the air. When the blast machine
is depressurized, the muffler body will pop up
to diffuse the air and abrasive. When the
machine is fully depressurized, the muffler
body will drop, permitting trapped abrasive to
empty. For the muffler to work properly, it must
be installed with the body facing up, as shown
in Figure 1.
If a muffler is not used, the exhaust piping must
be plumbed to direct exhausting air in a
direction that ensures no persons will be
exposed to possible injury from high velocity
air and media which escapes when the blast
machine is depressurized.
2.2.5
Connect a 3/16" x 18" air hose between the
outlet valve and one of the elbow fittings near the top of
the inlet valve as shown.
2.3
Optional ACS set up Ref. Figure 2.
If the
remote control does not have the ACS feature skip to
Section 2.4.
