High Speed
POWER
The system is designed to operate on 120 VAC 50/60 HZ power. The unit is provided with a
power cord that distributes the power to a terminal strip located under the pallet reel dial plate.
The power is then distributed to the proper control panel. The distributed power is circuit
breaker protected and is intended as a power source for the Pallet Reel and any additional
Rapid-Air accessory. Simply plug the main power cord into any grounded 120 VAC recepta-
cle.
EMERGENCY STOP & POWER MONITOR INTERFACE
The system provides a control relay for emergency stop and power monitoring. These are con-
trols provided to the user as an optional interface. If the user does not require or desire these
features the system is operational as received from the factory.
An isolated form “C” contact arrangement is provided for customer interface to monitor
“emergency stop” or “taut stock” detection. The contact is terminated on the base terminal
block (ref. Fig. RA-4/RA5) pin out is N.O. term-10; N.C. term-11; common term-12. The con-
tacts are rated at .5 amps at 28 VDC.
SETUP & INSTALLATION
Determine the direction and rotation that the material shall decoil as it leaves the PMD. Posi-
tion the PMD as close as possible to the end of the press.
Install the control arm assembly in the control head hub such that the counter weight is pointing
toward the turntable. Position the control head and arm then lock in the appropriate exit side of
the PMD.
The following sketches will show the four basic decoiling arrangements. The choice depends
upon such factors as weight, geometry of the material, C.W., or C.C.W. decoiling and available
floor space.
