Operation of the controller
5.3
Discharging ports
Discharging the individual ports by means of the controller is carried out
either manually or automatically.
5.3.1
Manual discharge
DANGER
!
Fatal injuries due to high-pressure discharge! The connected ports are
discharged both in automatic and in manual mode without prior
warning after triggering on the controller. Make sure that the
operating mode selector switch (2) and the port selector switch (3) are
set at zero before putting the system into operation. Otherwise there is
a possibility of an uncontrolled discharge of the MARTIN
®
MultiPort
air cannon.
IMPORTANT
The operating mode „MAN“ makes it possible to freely select the port.
From the plant engineering point of view this is semi-automatic
operation whereby no more influence can be exerted on the prescribed
sequence after the port has been selected and switchover to
„MANUAL“.
IMPORTANT
It is absolutely essential that the operational sequences described in the
following are complied with. Otherwise unexpected actions may be
triggered on the MARTIN
®
MultiPort air cannon and the system
switches to malfunction. To reset the system, all switches must be set
to „0“ and the control system restarted.
