SECTION 2—INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS
Adjustable Stroke Detect-A-Finger
®
Drop-Probe Device
Wiring and Air Tube Connection
1. Remove the cover from the drop-probe assembly. Open the door of the control box. Measure and install 1⁄2” flexible conduit between
the control box and drop-probe assembly.
2. Thread the magnetic sensor cable, 18-guage blue stranded wire, and two 5⁄32” air tubes through the flexible conduit to the control
box. Leave enough length out of each box to make it easier for connection. Number the blue wires according to the enclosed
electrical schematics.
3. Trim and install all wires to the input/output plug (P2) on the circuit board in the control box.
4. Trim and connect the two air tubes to the two bulkheads on the outside of the control box.
5. Trim and connect all wires in the drop-probe assembly according to the enclosed electrical schematics.
Turn the valves on the two mini regulators down before turning the main air valve on.
6. Turn on the main air valve and
slowly
increase the air pressure on the
left
mini regulator. Note which air tube in the drop-probe
assembly is blowing the air and connect this tube to the
bottom
air fitting of the air cylinder.
7. Turn the main air supply valve off.
8. Trim and connect the remaining air tube to the air fitting located on the electrical air valve.
9. Tie off all wires and air tubes when finished so they do not come in contact with the adjustable down stop locking collar on the air cylinder.
10. Disconnect the existing foot switch from the machine making note of its location. Wire the foot switch to the input/output plug (P2) on the
circuit board in the control box according to the enclosed electrical schematics.
11. In the vacated spot on the machine where the foot switch was originally connected, run new wires from this point on the machine to the
input/output plug (P2) at terminals 15 and 16 on the circuit board of the control box. If the machine has a second-stage operation, run
the necessary wires from the machine to the input/output plug (P2) at terminals 17 and 18 on the circuit board of the control box. Refer
to the enclosed electrical schematics.
Note:
For welder applications
, jumper “JMP” should be installed on pins 2 and 3.
For riveter applications
, jumper “JMP” should be installed on pins 1 and 2.
12. Run the appropriate machine power (100-240 V AC) and the ground wire into the Detect-A-Finger® control box. Connect these wires to
plug P1 according to the enclosed electrical schematics.
