General Operating Specifications
Electrical Requirements
Handlers shipped either within the United States or off-shore have built-in electrical supply
capability for 100VAC to 240VAC, 50Hz to 60Hz, except in the case of the Model 3010B Hot Rail.
The Hot Rail thermocouple card contains either a 50Hz crystal or 60 Hz crystal, which must be
specified by the customer.
Model 3010B Hot Rails operating at 240 VAC require an optional step-down transformer for the
handler's heaters.
Connect the power cord to earth-grounded power outlets only.
If the handler is to be used in an electrically noisy environment or near large electromechanical
equipment, Exatron recommends the use of a reliable power conditioner to filter line noise,
surges, and spikes which can cause the handler to operate improperly or become damaged.
Ambient handlers require 3 Amps at 110 VAC. Handlers with Hot Rails require 7 Amps at 110
VAC.
Electricity supplied to the handler must be within the specified operating ranges. If the line voltage drops
too low, the handler may not function properly or may be seriously damaged. Verify that correct operating
line voltage is present. If it is not, contact Exatron for assistance.
SERVICE CALLS MADE TO THE CUSTOMER FACILITY TO CORRECT PROBLEMS CAUSED BY
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL SUPPLY ARE NOT COVERED BY THE EXATRON WARRANTY.
Air Requirements
Depending upon the type of Changeover Kit used, the Model 3000B may require a filtered air
pressure supply of 80 psi/5 cfm (+/- 3 PSI). This air supply must be Clean: containing no
particulate matter greater than 5 microns in size; Dry: having a dew point of 36
°
F to 38
°
F; and
free of any oil. To maintain these levels of pressurized air quality, replace the coalescing air filter
(Exatron part #GPA-97-075) in the air regulator of your handler after every 6000 hours or 12
months of operation, whichever comes first; or if your air regulator registers a pressure drop of 15
psi.
Moisture of any kind will travel through external and internal air lines. This moisture will coat these
air lines and the insides of the handler's cylinders, causing them to stick or to stop functioning
altogether. The best defense against this kind of contaminate is to prevent it from occurring in the
first place by maintaining the clean air supply described above.
If the air lines are allowed to become discolored or the moisture traps become overfilled, damage
to the system will occur. The only corrective action to take at that point is to replace all of the air
lines and to completely clean all of the solenoids supplied by those air lines.
Handler damage
due to improper air supply is not covered by the Exatron warranty.
House/Shop vacuum is not required. Changeover kit vacuum requirements are supplied by built-
in venturi vacuum generators.
