REQUIRED FACILITIES |
|
|
|
|
|
The
AJRM5 Tilting Traverse Unit operates on 110 Volt, 60Hz. electrical |
|
|
power
provided through the plug on the electronic control panel. The outlet |
|
|
used
must be fused to a minimum of 15 amps and should be on a circuit free |
|
|
of electrical interference. |
|
|
|
|

INSTALLATION |
|
|
|
|
|
The
control panel will be connected to the traverse unit with a heavy duty |
|
|
cable
approximately 15 feet in length. The
control panel should be mounted |
|
|
on
a wall or the side of the spray booth close enough to the spray area to |
|
|
allow
full required movement of the traverse unit.
The control panel will |
|
|
also
have to be plugged into a 110 Volt outlet.
The electrical cord is |
|
|
approximately 9 feet. |
|
|
|
|
|
With
the power switched off at the control panel, attach the free end of the |
|
|
heavy
duty cable to the amphenol connector on the traverse unit. The unit is |
|
|
ready to operate. |
