5. SIGNAL/CONTROL LINES - 24 VOLT:
a. Each receiver has a 30-foot signal/control cable. These plug into the back of the
controller. Receivers can be plugged into any one of the eight station "ports".
Connect receivers in a number sequence that makes sense for your installation.
24-volt extension cables are available if required to reach the
controller. Connectors have 7 pins. Earlier units had 4 pins. If your
plugs don't match the receptacles, call us.
a. A short cable comes from the junction box on the back of the Vacuum Power
Station. Plug this into the right side of the controller.
If you have the Dual Controller Option, plug the vacuum station cable
into the Main controller.
6. AIR SUPPLY:
The receivers and the power station both require air pressure to operate. When
mounted on a Weigh Scale Blender, receivers can get their air supply from the extra
"pressure gauge" port on the blender's air pressure regulator.
Each receiver has a tee connector to allow chaining the air supply to another receiver.
Receivers near each other can be chained together.
The Power station also requires an air line. This may be supplied independently or by
running an air line from one of the receivers to the Vacuum Power Station. It is easy to
bundle an air line with one of the 24 volt signal lines that runs from each receiver to the
power station.
