Initial Installation
Remove the packing list and verify that all parts have been received. Normally you will
receive one crate, which is a tall box.
Inside the crate you will find the following items: pedestal, compactor, hammer, mold,
and counter.
Set the machine & pedestal up at the place it is to be used in the laboratory and then
check that it is level by placing a spirit level on the base plate. If it is not level, adjust the
floor mounting surface for the machine.
Check adjustment of H-1360 proximity sensor (H-1334A/1334B photo sensor).
1. From the front observe the plates clamped by wing nuts to the right side beam.
2. A flange mounted perpendicularly to the front plate of this pair is bored to receive
the proximity sensor.
3. The proximity sensor is inserted through the bored hole and secured with two nuts,
one on each side. Orient the windows on the sensor face above and below each
other.
4. Check to see that the sensor is positioned as shown in the diagram below.
5. If necessary position the vertical height of the sensor by loosening the wing nuts
holding the clamping plates.
