Principle of Operation
Pneumatic Tool Sync senses the flow of compressed air to a connected tool and activates the vacuum.
• When the compressed air tool is activated, the compressed air line pressure opens a pneumatic valve which activates the power head.
• The auto system pressure in the valve should be approximately 90 psi while the tool is running.
•
When the compressed air tool is deactivated the pressure will bleed down to 0 psi at a rate based on the adjustment of the Shut Off
Delay valve.
• When the tool sync pressure reaches approximately 15 psi the valve closes and deactivates the power head.
• The Tool Sync Pressure Gauge helps the user visualize the time delay by displaying the pressure in the pneumatic valve as it drops
from 90 psi to 0 psi.
Requirements
• A compressed air supply must be connected to the Compressed Air Plug (Air In) on the power head.
• The tool must draw its compressed air from a Compressed Air Coupler (Air Out) on the power head.
• Compressed air must be clean, dry, and oil free to prevent blockage of the pneumatic system.
•
The Air In compressed air line and fittings must have a minimum diameter of 1/2 in.
1. Attach the compressed air line source to the vacuum.
• Verify the Compressed Air Control valve on the vacuum is in the AUTO/OFF position.
• Connect one end of the compressed air line to a compressed air source.
• Connect the other end of the compressed air line to the Compressed Air Plug (Air In) on the vacuum head.
2. Attach the compressed air tool.
• Insert the compressed air line plug into a Compressed Air Coupler (Air Out) on the power head.
The vacuum may activate briefly once
the airline has been connected.
• Connect the compressed air line coupler to the tool’s compressed air plug/input.
3. Test Pneumatic Tool Sync.
• Rotate the Compressed Air Control valve on the vacuum to the AUTO/OFF position and activate the air tool.
• The power head will activate.
• Deactivate the air tool.
• The vacuum will deactivate after a short delay.
4.
Adjust the Pneumatic Tool Sync Shut Off Delay.
The Shut Off Delay is preset at the factory to approximately 5 seconds.
•
Loosen the jam nut on the Shut Off Delay valve by turning it counterclockwise.
•
Turn the Shut Off Delay valve clockwise until it stops.
• Rotate the Compressed Air Control valve on the vacuum to the AUTO/OFF
position and activate the air tool.
• The vacuum will power on.
• Deactivate the air tool.
• The vacuum will remain running.
•
Slowly turn the Shut Off Delay valve counterclockwise until the Tool Sync Pressure
Gauge begins to drop.
• When the tool sync pressure reaches approximately 15 psi the pneumatic valve
deactivates the power head.
• Continue to test Pneumatic Tool Sync by activating the compressed air tool.
•
Adjust the Shut Off Delay valve until the pressure bleeds down as slowly or as
quickly as required using the Tool Sync Pressure Gauge as a guide.
•
When the Shut Off Delay valve has been adjusted to provide the desired shut off
delay, tighten the jam nut by rotating it clockwise to lock the valve in place.
5. Multiple Tools
• Pneumatic Tool Sync will work with one or two tools simultaneously.
