Part 1: Installation
Siting
The 505XY should be situated on a flat surface and is fitted with adjustable
feet to ensure that the unit can be levelled. Adequate area must be given to
allow tubing to pass from the 505L pumphead to the dispensing head of the
robot without kinking or unnecessary bends.
Electrical connection
The 505XY operates on single phase mains electricity only. It is fitted with a
mains voltage selector which must be set to either 120V for 100-120V
50/60Hz supplies or 240V for 220-240V 50/60Hz supplies.
The on/off switch of the 505XY is located at the mains socket as is the fuse.
A spare fuse is incorporated in the fuse holder and should be replaced with
the same value of fuse if used.
A mains cable fitted with a moulded plug is supplied with the 505XY, but if
another plug is to be fitted, the colour coding of the mains lead must be
observed.
The mains cable for 220-240V supplies is coded so that the live lead is
coloured brown, the neutral lead is coloured blue, and the earth lead is
coloured green and yellow.
The mains cable for 100-120V supplies is coded so that the live lead is
coloured black, the neutral lead is coloured white, and the earth lead is
coloured green.
Should the robot fail to operate, check that mains electricity is available at
the unit, that the voltage selector switch is in the correct position and that the
mains fuse is in tact.
Failure to
operate
There are dangerous voltages (at mains potential) inside the unit. If
access is required, isolate the pump from the mains before removing
the cover.
Interfacing with the 505Di
The 505XY has four connector/sockets on the rear panel.
· Mains socket
