Attach the terminal strip guide included with the machine with the two thumbscrews supplied. Mount the guide
on the left guard for side–feed applicators. Mount the guide on the right guard for end–feed applicators.
Connect the power cords to the machine and to the SL Starlite monitor, and then connect the power cords to a
suitable electrical supply.
The machine will automatically detect the supply voltage and adjust the controller accordingly.
Machines exported to Europe will be installed by Tyco Electronics service specialistss. These specialistss will verify
that the electrical and pneumatic connections are correct. Both pneumatic and electrical connections must be installed
in a way that provides a lockable isolation switch for hard-wired or direct piped machines. This is necessary to
interrupt power to the machine for setup or maintenance.
3.3. Considerations Affecting Placement of Bench Machines
The location of the machine in relation to the operator’s position is extremely important in terms of both safety
and maximum efficiency. Studies have repeatedly shown that operator fatigue will be reduced, and greater
efficiency achieved, if:
1. the bench is of appropriate height, preferably with sound–deadening rubber mounts;
2. the machine is properly located on the bench with ample work areas on both sides to facilitate work
flow;
3. the operator uses a swivel chair with padded seat and back rest which are independently adjustable;
and
4. the foot switch, on machines so equipped, is placed on a rubber mat to maintain its movability, while
preventing it from sliding unintentionally.
Figure 9 illustrates proper machine location and operator position and the following:
A.
Bench
The bench to be used should be of sturdy construction, preferably with rubber mounts to minimize noise. A
height of 762 to 812.8 mm [30 to 32 in.] is the most suitable for operator comfort and convenience. This
height allows the operator to rest both feet on the floor, thereby providing for the shifting of weight and leg
position.
B.
Machine Location on Bench
The machine should be located near the front of the bench with the “target area” (tooling area where the
product is applied) not more than 152.4 to 203.2 mm [6 to 8 in.] from the front edge. This location will
eliminate unnecessary operator motion and help to avoid back strain and fatigue.
Orientation of the machine should be such that the “target area” is facing the front of the bench and is
parallel to the front edge (access to the back of the machine MUST also be provided).
Machines have provisions for being bolted to the bench.
C.
Operator's Chair
The operator’s chair should swivel, and should have independent seat height and back rest adjustments.
The seat and back rest should be padded, and the back rest should be large enough to provide support
both above and below the waist line.
In use, the chair should be far enough under the bench so that the operator’s back is straight and is
supported by the back rest.
