Danfoss FT1555-BM bench mount capping machine Operator’s Manual

The Danfoss FT1555-BM bench mount capping system (Figure 1)
provides a quick and economical solution to prevent contamination
in hydraulic circuits. CapSeal capsules prevent particulate and other
contaminants from entering hose assembly ends once the fittings
are assembled, and prevent the fitting terminal end threads from
being damaged during transit. The capping system also works on
the tube and pipe ends preventing moisture and contamination
from getting into the tubing and piping assemblies.
The purpose of this manual is to present critical safety information,
and basic installation and operating instructions for the Danfoss
FT1555-BM capping system.
Thoroughly read the operator’s manual before attempting to
heat shrink capsules on the terminal ends of a hose assembly,
tube or pipe assembly. Electronic manuals can be found on
Danfoss Power Source, or print versions can be ordered via
Standard Register. Failure to follow operating instruction
could result in serious injury or property damage.
Prevent Unauthorized Operation: Do not permit anyone to
operate this machine unless they have thoroughly read and
understand this manual.
Wear Safety Glasses: Risk of eye injury! Eye protection is
required at all times during the installation, operation and
maintenance of this machine. Failure to wear safety glasses
could result in personal injury.
Keep work area clean: cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.
Do not touch the areas of the machine around the Heat
Shrink Tunnel Plunger as these surfaces are hot and they can
cause burns. Let the machine housing surfaces cool down
before touching external surfaces of the machine. Do not
expose skin or eyes to hot air exhausting from the machine
around the Heat Shrink Tunnel plunger or Hot Air Out Vent.
(See Figure 1).
Incorrect use of hot air blowers can cause fire and explosion
hazard, especially near combustible materials and explosive
gases.
Unplug the power supply when the Heat Shrink machine is
not in use.
Do not open machine enclosure when capping system is
plugged into a live power supply. This is not a field repairable
machine.
Do not open machine enclosure except to perform
maintenance as outlined in this manual.

Installation / environment
Step 1:
Position the machine in a clean, dry, level surface in a well
ventilated area free of combustible material. Keep a clear perimeter
of 12” on both sides and 6” at rear of machine. Do not place
anything on top of machine.
Step 2:
Connect to an appropriate power source using a NEMA L6-15,
2-pole, 3-wire grounding, 15 Amp 230V locking plug and outlet.
(See Figure 2)
Machine operation
Step 3:
Set the Power On/Off switch and Heater Timer On/Off to the Off
position before connecting the machine to the power source.
(See Figure 3)

Installation / environment
Step 4:
Set the Main Power On/Off switch to the On position.
Note: Power Switch will illuminate green when power is on.
(See Figure 4).
Step 5:
Turn the Heater On/Off Timer clockwise past 10 minutes to desired
heat duration allowing for at least five minutes of preheat time.
(See Figure 5).
Note: White indicator light will illuminate when heater is activated.
Step 6:
Select the proper CapSeal capsule by measuring the end fitting
point to point on a hex style fitting or the measure the largest
outside diameter of the end fitting. (See Figure 6).
Step 7:
Reference the sizing chart on page 7 to determine the proper
CapSeal capsule.
Step 8:
Place CapSeal capsule over the end-fitting securely ensuring that
the fitting is fully inserted into the capsule. (See Figure 7).

Installation / environment
Step 9:
Place capsuled hose assembly fitting end against white Heat
Shrink Tunnel Plunger and push into heat Shrink Tunnel Plunger
about 3” and hold for at least 2 seconds. (See Figure 8 & 9).
Step 10:
Remove hose assembly and inspect capsule to confirm that it is
shrunk securely onto fitting end. (See Figure 10).

Maintenance
Bi-monthly cleaning of the Danfoss FT1555-BM Capping System
Intake Air Filter and Grill is vital in maintaining correct operating
temperatures and function of the heating element. Proper air flow
through the system will prevent the element from over heating
which can cause internal damage and possible fire hazard. Airborne
contaminates varies from location to location, and it is imperative
that the Air Intake Filter and Grill is cleaned every two months at a
minimum.
Step 1:
Turn the timer to “0” position and turn off the main power switch
and disconnect the FT1555-BM Capping System from the power
source. (See Figure 11).
Step 2:
Visually inspect the Capping System for signs of overheating
i.e. discoloration of the stainless steel cover, warning labels,
discoloration or cracking of the plunger or deformation of the
rubber mounts. (See Figure 12).
Step 3:
Pry and remove the black plastic filter retainer on the back of the
switch plate and remove the foam filter. Wash the filter in warm
soap and water and dry completely. (See Figure 13).
Step 4:
Using a 1/8” hex key wrench remove four 10-32 x 1/4” button head
cap screws from the main switch end plate, two in the front and
two in the back. (See Figure 14).

Maintenance
Step 5:
Turn the unit on the front side and remove the three 1/4-20 x 3/8”
button head cap screws from the base plate using a 5/32” hex key
wrench. (See Figure 15).
Step 6:
Remove the switch end plate and inspect the air intake grill for
debris. Using a coarse brush remove any debris from the intake grill
that could obstruct air flow. (See Figure 16).
Step 7:
Replace the main switch end plate. (See Figure 17).
Step 8:
Reinstall the foam filter and retainer and return unit to service.
(See Figure 18).
