feeder trays during operation, but should be positioned low in the feeder. If
necessary, lower the hopper level adjustment so that the bottom of the outlet necks
is no more than 1/2 inch above the bottom of the feeder pan.
The feed system must be thoroughly grounded to prevent static electricity buildup
in the product. Plastic tubes or chutes should never be used, as they greatly
increase the level of static electricity generated in the product.
1.3.4 CONNECTING THE POWER
The ScanMasterII is connected internally at the factory to operate at 105-125 V.A.C.,
50-60 cycle, 1 phase when it will be operated in a country that uses this voltage.
The machine is connected internally at the factory to operate at 210-250 V.A.C., 50-
60 cycle, 1 phase when it will be operated in a country that uses that voltage. Make
certain that the machine is properly connected to operate on the voltage that you
will be using.
The ScanMasterII uses high quality regulated power supplies for the electronics and
rugged power transformers for the lamp and ejectors. However, as for any
sophisticated electronics application, in areas where the line power is not stable, we
recommend a regulating type transformer installed in close proximity to the
machine.
The machine is equipped with a power cord that can be used, provided local
electrical codes permit its use. If the cord is used to plug into a receptacle, a plug to
match the receptacle must be installed on the end of the cord. The cord is
connected at the factory as shown in Figures 2-1 and 1-8.
If the power cord will not be used, connect power directly to the power lockout
switch in the lower power enclosure, and connect incoming power ground to the line
filter, also found in the lower power enclosure (See Figures 2-1 and 1-8).
Make certain that an EARTH GROUND is connected to the grounding point below
terminal block TB1 on the lower power supply assembly as shown.
1.3.5 CONNECTING THE COMPRESSED AIR
The compressed air used for operating the machine and for cleaning must be clean,
dry, and oil-free. It should also comply with ISO 8573-1 Class 442 for nonfood
applications and with ISO 8573-1 Class 341 for food applications. A refrigerated
dryer is recommended.
The pressure of the compressed air supplied to the machine must be a minimum of
90 psi at the machine to allow for pressure drops across the air filters, etc.
The air line to the machine must be 3/4 inch pipe or larger. If the compressor is
more than 50 feet from the machine, 1inch or 1 1/4 inch pipe should be used.
Before connecting the air line to the machine, it must be blown out to remove any
shavings or other foreign material.
The regulator on the machine should be set to 40 psi during normal sorting
operation. If the machine is being used to resort defective material from another
