3. VACUUM/POWER STATION: Position power station for easy access to the filter compartment and controller. Consider the following: a. 1 HP units: 1 HP units require a STRONG 120 volt power source. DO NOT use an extension cord, unless it is 12 gauge or better. Be sure the outlet is rated for 20 amps minimum. On startup, the blower requires a surge of over 40 amps and should be able to pull this high current to start properly. If supply wire size is not adequate, the blower will be unable to pull full startup amperage. The higher the initial amp draw, the faster the motor reaches full speed...

5. SIGNAL/CONTROL LINES - 24 VOLT: a. Each receiver has a 30 foot signal/control cable. These plug into the back of the controller. Receivers can be plugged into any one of the eight station "ports". Connect receivers in a number sequence that makes sense for your installation. 24 volt extension cables are available if required to reach the controller. Connectors have 7 pins. Earlier units had 4 pins. If your plugs don't match the receptacles, call us. a. A short cable comes from the junction box on the back of the Vacuum Power Station. Plug this into the right side of the controller. If...

Each line should connect to a pick-up lance in...

CHECK OUT PROCEDURE 1. Confirm all air line connections are correct: With POWER OFF, and AIR PRESSURE connected: • • • All receiver slide gates should be OPEN, allowing material to flow out of the receiver. The vacuum valve on top of each receiver should be CLOSED, extended, blocking the vacuum line. The vacuum relief valve on top of the POWER UNIT should be OPEN. 2. Turn on main power. Confirm switch light is lit. 3. Turn each station on one at a time, testing each separately. Switches with receivers CONNECTED will light and blink slowly indicating the sensor is calling for material. With...

RECEIVER LOAD TIME: As each receiver fills, observe the material level in the receiver. Load time is correct if the station stops loading when about 75 percent full, or just below the MAGUIRE logo. If the load time is NOT correct, reset the timer for that station. To RESET THE TIMER for one station: 1. PRESS and HOLD the "SET LOAD TIME" button AFTER station has started to load. Load time can be set ONLY while station is loading. 2. RELEASE the button when correct level is reached The correct time is now set. For very dusty materials, fill receiver to a LOWER level. This will help keep the...
