5.1  DigiVAC After-Build Inspection

Section 1 - Visual Checks   

1. Painted Surfaces

• Check all painted surfaces of the machine for blemishes or damage.

2. Wiring and Voltage Settings

WARNING:

•

Before switching on machine, check voltage tappings on toroidal 
transformer are in correct setting. Ensure the DIL LEVER 
SWITCH (on rear of control panel) has all 4 levers set in the 'OFF' 
position (upright) on 230/240V machines. On 60HZ machines 
ensure only No.1 lever is on (pushed forward)

.

• Visually check that all wiring and labels are correctly in place.

3. Drive Base

• Check Tacho Sensor secure.
• Check Tacho magnet tight.

4. Fixing Screws

• Check that all screws and fixings are in place and securely tightened.

Section 2 - Pre-Run Checks

1. Address Bins 

• Go through bin addressing procedure.
•

DigiVAC Standard

: Check correct bin count appears on the top left 

hand side of the LCD screen during power up.

• : 

Check correct bin count appears on the GUI Mimic dia-

gram.

2. STD Control/GUI Panel Functions

If fitted with a Standard Control Panel

a) Switch on. Check Software on digital display is correct (eg. [Dig 1.7] is 
displayed).
b) Go into Engineering Mode (see Section 3.3.2).

If fitted with a GUI Control Panel

a) Panel Calibration (see Section 3.4.7).
b) Load Current Software (see Section 4.4.1). 

3. Bins Communicating

• Switch bins on using on/off button.
• Link bins using link button.
• Check that paper loaded sensors switch bins off/on.

4. Trays

• Check extension function and sidelay movement.
• Check air pipes are free from kinks etc.
• Check tap function.
• Check paper control weights.

5. Rear Door Switch

• Check ‘rear door open’ switch, plus visual ‘Guard’ display, operate. 

6. Belts/Gears/Conveyor Wheels/Shafts

With the power disconnected from the Air/Vac Control PCB, switch on 
the machine whilst pressing one of the bin On/Off buttons on each sepa-
rate 4 bin module, so as to enable calibration mode. Start the machine and 
check the following:
• Check and adjust all belt tensions.
• Ensure that all squeaks, rattles or gear noises are investigated and elim-

inated.

• Pulse the feeder clutches by pressing the bin On/Off buttons and check
