2. Slide the WEIGH BIN into position. It rests behind the clear-hinged access window.
On models 100, 200, and 400 install weigh bin with the air cylinder to the left. On
models 900, 1800, 2400 and 3000 install weigh bin with the air cylinder towards you.
On Micro Blenders, install the weigh bin with the load cell hanger to the left. If bin is
already in place, remove any shipping materials, packing tape or string.
3. Hang the Color and Additive Feeders: (Optional)
a. Lift side latches and fully extend slide assembly. Remove the hopper. Leave slide
extended.
b. Tilting the entire slide assembly, motor end up, insert one corner of hanger cross bar behind
frame corner post.
c. Rotate assembly into place so both ends of cross bar are behind corner posts.
d. Lower into place, bottom edge resting on frame and cross bar properly positioned behind
corner posts.
e.
Re-install hopper. Slide motor forward until latches engage.
4. Place the controller on the support tray and plug in all cords:
a. Air solenoid 17 pin plug into the matching receptacle.
b. Auger feeder drive motors into duplex receptacle.
c. Mixer motor into right side of controller.
d. Sensor cord plug into front side of controller.
e. Load Cell plug into port on left side of controller.
5. Plug the CONTROLLER into the receptacle located under the controller tray.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT plug the controller into a separate
power source. The controller ground path MUST be the
same as the blender frame ground path. If your system has
the controller located in a remote location, MAKE CERTAIN
that the power to the controller comes from the receptacle
mounted on the Blender frame.
6. Connect main power to a properly fused disconnect. Main power comes from the
power box and plugs into a 110-volt or 220 volt power source.
This power cable
MUST provide the ONLY power source for the entire system, including the controller.
See: WIRING CONSIDERATIONS, next page.
1800, 2400, 3000 Series Blenders
require a 240-volt power source for the mix motors. Secure voltage supply cable
per the requirements of EN 60204-1, Clause 13.4.2.
7. Connect Compressed Air to the unit. About 5.5 bar (80 psi) is recommended for
most models. 4.1 bar (60 psi) is recommended for: Micro Blender, 140R, 240R and
440R). Lubricated air is NOT recommended. Air provided to the blender should be
clean and dry. The coalescing filter is a final attempt to dry the air to protect the valves
from moisture contamination.
NOTE: Micro Blenders should be set to 4.1 bar (60 psi). The Vertical
Valves used in removable hoppers on Micro Blenders are more
accurate at the lower 4.1 bar (60 psi) pressure setting.
8. Remove all protective paper from the plastic windows.
