The GBC Engineering Team has released an Electronic Upgrade Kit part number
005187
that
must be installed on all Orca 64TH’s that experience problems related to the Main P.C. Board,
Motor Driver P.C. Board, and Vacuum Fan Driver P.C. Board. This Electrical Upgrade Kit is
replacing the Vacuum Driver P.C. Board with its own Power Supply, and protecting the Motor
Driver P.C. Board by way of Dynamic Brake and a separate Power supply. The Main P.C. Board
has been modified to work this Kit
only
. This kit will alleviate problems caused by static but will
not remove the static from the machine. There are two things to make sure to prevent the static
from building in the machine
.
1.
Ground the unit itself thoroughly from shafts to the frame, left frame to the right frame,
electrical panels to the frame, and input power ground to the frame.
2.
Check the ground quality of the facility by checking voltage difference between the power
ground (Green wire coming from the power source) to a nearby water pipe or a solid metal
beam that goes well below the ground to the soil. It shouldn't be more than a couple of volts
difference in AC.
When you order the Electrical Upgrade Kit, you will receive all necessary electrical components
and installation instructions. If you do not receive installation instruction, refer to this TSSB.
