CHAPTER 1
AC/DC POWER DISTRIBUTION
LOCKOUT AND/OR TAGOUT SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1.
Notify all affected employees that a lockout or tagout system is going to be utilized and why. The autho-
rized employee should know the electrical power the machine uses and it’s hazards.
2.
If the machine or equipment is running, shut it down by the normal stopping procedure (depress the stop
button, open toggle switch, etc.)
3.
Use appropriate devices to isolate the equipment from the power source(s). Stored energy (such as that
in springs, elevated machine members, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems, and air gas, steam or water
pressure, etc.) must be dissipated or restrained by methods such as repositioning, blocking, bleeding
down, etc.
4.
Lockout and/or tagout the energy isolating devices with individual lock(s) or tag(s).
5.
After ensuring that no personnel are exposed, and as a check on having disconnected the energy
sources, operate the push button or other normal operating controls to make certain the equipment will not
operate.
CAUTION: RETURN OPERATING CONTROL(S) TO “NEUTRAL” OR “OFF” POSITION
AFTER THE TEST [DE-ENERGIZED STATE].
6.
The equipment is now locked out or tagged out.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING MUST BE PERFORMED BY LICENSED PERSONNEL.
ALL SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
Check on the plate of the machine that the electrical specifications of the power source are the same as the
machine. The balancer requires 115VAC, 50-60Hz, 1Ph, 2.0 Ampere. A 230VAC adapter is available if
required.
The balancer will also take a rechargeable portable battery pack (Versavolt). The input is able to accept a
12V, 14.4 or 18V versavolt battery pack. These are the same batteries used on the Snapon’s power tools.
NOTE:
THIS MACHINE PERFORMS A SELF-TEST ROUTINE ON START-UP. THERE WILL BE A DELAY
OF SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE DISPLAY IS ACTIVATED.
NOTE:
ANY ELECTRICAL OUTLET INSTALLATION MUST BE VERIFIED BY A LICENSED ELECTRI-
CIAN BEFORE CONNECTING THE BALANCER.
NOTE:
CHECK THAT IF AN AUTOMATIC GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH A DIFFERENTIAL
CIRCUIT IS BEING USED THAT IT BE SET AT 30 MA.
