Installation & Startup
If the CapStar is Already Set Up
If you buy a Hoppmann CapStar Cap Feeder as part of a Hoppmann
feeder system, then your direct supplier will have performed all
the procedures in this chapter. You will still need to:
▲
Position your CapStar Cap Feeder.
Follow the equipment
layout drawing provided by your direct supplier.
▲
Connect Electrical Wiring.
Follow as-built electrical diagrams
provided by your direct supplier.
▲
Make Pneumatic Connections.
If your CapStar has a hopper
agitator, your direct supplier will provide you setup specifications.
▲
Install and Test the Rest of the System.
Installation is complete.
If the Hoppmann CapStar Cap Feeder is drop-shipped to your location,
follow the procedures in this chapter to finish setting up the feeder.
Unpacking and Inspection
Step 1—
Inspect and Unpack the Crate.
Remove packing materials
from sensors, tooling and moving parts. Make a visual check to be
sure parts have not come loose during shipping. If you find any
concealed damage, call the shipping carrier and your direct sup-
plier immediately.
Do not attempt to fix the problem yourself
unless told to do so by your direct supplier.
Step 2—Record Serial Number of the CapStar.
If you have not
already done so, record the CapStar’s inventory/serial number on
the front of this manual.
This information is necessary when ordering
replacement parts or service.
The CapStar Feeder is secured to the floor of the crate and the
weight of the unit is on four leveling footpads. When the unit is
lifted from the floor of the crate, the leveling feet can be raised to
allow the casters to rest on the shop floor. Once the unit has been
positioned, the casters can be locked or the footpads can be
lowered for a stable footing. The leveling feet can be used to level
the unit and they have anchor holes to allow anchoring.
