Installing the TMD IV
This section provides information about installing and setting up the TMD IV. It discusses installation
considerations, provides procedures for mounting, and wiring, describes the hardware configuration, and
provides procedures for determining initial setup parameters for the device.
Overview
The customer is responsible for initial inspection of the equipment and for site preparation. It is essential that
the equipment be placed on the production line in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this section.
The customer must ensure that qualified personnel are available to make interconnections with other
production equipment and perform work at the installation site. A customer service representative is available
to assist with installation and verify operation as well as train personnel assigned to operate and maintain the
equipment.
Installation Considerations
Do not connect power to the machine or turn on the unit until you have read and understood this entire
section. The precautions and procedures presented in this section must be followed carefully to prevent
equipment damage and protect the operator from possible injury.
WARNING.
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing procedures could result in death or
serious injury.
•
Make sure only qualified personnel perform installation and maintenance procedures in
accordance with the instructions in this manual.
•
Allow only qualified electricians to open and work in the electronics cabinet, power-supply
cabinet, control cabinet, or switch boxes.
•
Covers over the electronics and rotating parts must always remain in place during normal
operation. Remove only for maintenance, with the machine’s power OFF. Replace all covers
before resuming operation.
•
During maintenance, a safety tag (not supplied by the factory) must be displayed in the ON/OFF
switch areas instructing others not to operate the unit (ANSI:B157.1).
Mounting Location
The coil support structure and coil(s) must be mounted properly for the TMD IV to function correctly. Large
metallic objects near the coil(s) will cause a reduction in signal strength. To prevent loss in signal strength,
make sure that no metallic objects such as steel girders, deck plates, skirt boards, return idlers, or metal
building walls are within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the receiver coil. Carry idlers and conveyor stringers may be within this
distance.
Other considerations for mounting the support structure and coil(s) include:
•
The coil support structure must be located so that the conveyor will stop before tramp is discharged.
•
Metal deck plates or skirt boards located within 4 ft (1.2 m) either side of the coil support structure
must be removed or replaced with non-metallic parts.
