Operating the automatic machine
6.1
Normal operation
◼
Insert the wire end ferrule reel.
Note:
◼
Before each switch on, check:
–
Does the automatic machine have no visible defects and damage?
–
Is the mains connection cable undamaged?
–
Is the compressed air hose undamaged?
–
Is the required operating pressure (5.5 bar) present?
–
Is the front panel closed?
The automatic machine must not be operated if any of these faults is
present.
◼
Check whether the fault can be rectified with maintenance. Other-
wise, contact your Rittal Service.
◼
Switch on the mains switch.
The valves actuate audibly and homing is performed. The touch display shows op-
erational readiness.
6.2
Inserting a conductor
Note:
◼
Process only conductors cut cleanly. All stranded wires must termi-
nate flush with the insulation; no stranded wire may be shortened
or protrude.
◼
Ensure that the conductor end is inserted straight.
