INTRODUCTION
The Smart AutoPilot allows you to control your dust collector and pneumatic valve from one or two micro
-
motor workstations. When you start your micromotor, the dust collector will start automatically and open
the pneumatic valve, opening the station. When you stop your micromotor, the dust collector will continue
for a short period of time to allow for the residual dust to be cleared.
INSTRUCTIONS
The Smart Autopilot will accommodate two micromotors or electric handpieces that do not exceed
5
amps, 115VAC, total
. Plug the Smart Autopilot into a grounded outlet. Plug the connector cable into the
jack on the back of the Smart AutoPilot and plug the other end into a Combining Box (
PN: 96069
). Plug
the Combining Box into the remote plug on the dust collector - It may be necessary to read your specific
dust collector's instructions to confirm the operation of the REMOTE function. Connect 1/4" OD air tube
from an air supply to the quick disconnect on the side of the Smart AutoPilot. Connect a tube from the
pneumatic valve (
PN: 10518
) to the quick disconnect located on the side of the Smart AutoPilot. Turn the
green power switch on the Autopilot to the
ON
position. Turn the black switch to
MANUAL
, the dust col
-
lector should come on and the pneumatic valve should open. Turn the black switch to
AUTOMATIC
, the
dust collector should turn off. If it does not, see adjustment instructions below.
Note:
If two micromotors are plugged into the Smart AutoPilot, some micromotors interfere with each other
and cannot be used at the same time with the Smart AutoPilot. Additionally, some high speed brushless
units may not draw enough power to trigger the Smart AutoPilot. Please contact Vaniman if you experi
-
ence this problem.
1. Turn the dust collector on at the main power switch. Flip the AutoPilot's
AUTO/MANUAL
switch to
AUTOMATIC
, the dust collector should turn off.
2. Plug one micromotor into the receptacle on the AutoPilot. If the dust collector comes on, the sensitivity
is set too high for your micromotor; we will adjust it in a moment. If the dust collector did not start when
first plugged in; start the micromotor now. If the dust collector starts, then the sensitivity is set correctly.
3. If the sensitivity is not set correctly, it can be adjusted by the screw located on the bottom of the unit.
To increase the sensitivity, gently turn the screw counter-clockwise (to the left). If your dust collector
did not start when you started the micromotor, then increase the sensitivity by turning the screw slightly
counter-clockwise waiting two seconds after each adjustment. Try the micromotor again. If the dust
collector does not start, then increase sensitivity a little more. Repeat this process until the dust col
-
lector starts when the micromotor is running.
