Instructions for Converting to a Permanently Wired Machine
CAUTION:
The following instructions are intended to be used by a qualified
electrician. Local building codes should be checked for compliance.
1.
Disconnect power to the changer.
2.
Remove hoppers from change machines if needed to access outlet box.
3.
If used remove the two nuts holding cord retaining plate to the cabinet.
4.
Pull the cord through outlet hole into the cabinet.
5.
The hole in the cabinet is sized for 1-inch conduit fittings. Some models have several
cutouts allowing alternate wiring inlets.
6.
Install conduit and supply lines (
NOTE:
for outdoor locations use water tight conduit
and fittings). It is important to the operation of your changer that wiring be in
properly grounded electrical conduit. (3
rd
wire ground back to the main service panel)
We also recommend that the changer be wired on a dedicated line. A dedicated line
is a circuit which has no other equipment connected on the same circuit breaker or
fuse. The purpose of a dedicated line is to reduce the possibility of interference,
which may cause the changer to malfunction.
7.
Remove the screws from the outlet box cover.
8.
Pull the cover out to access the terminal block inside the box and disconnect the cord
from the terminal block. No other wires should be removed.
9.
Remove the power cord from the outlet box.
10.
Route new supply line through cabinet to the outlet box supply line should be kept
away from all low voltage cable to reduce risk of EMI interference.
11.
The electrical connections should be as follows:
The Neutral line (White wire) from the supply line must be connected to the White or
Blue (Filter only) wire at the terminal block.
The Hot Line (Black wire) from the supply line must be connected to the Black or
Brown (Filter only) wire at the terminal block.
The Ground (bare/green) supply line wire must be connected to the Green wire at the
terminal block.
12.
Reinstall cover onto outlet box.
13.
With power OFF use an ohmmeter to check the connections making sure there are no
shorts to the cabinet except for the ground connection and that hot and neutral are not
shorted together.
14.
Power on machine.
15.
Test machine for proper operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
A WORD ABOUT GROUNDING
Please insure your changer has a good ground. Improper grounding of the changer will cause erratic
operation and is unsafe for the people using the changer.
