115V High Intensity Lighting - Installation

AD0052

Introduction

This procedure tells you how to install the optional 93-1000288 115VAC High Intensity Lighting (HIL) systems on VMCs and lathes.

 NOTE: For VF-6 to VF-12 order 93-1000523  HIL MOUNT BRACKET KIT to mount the High Intensity Lights.

Machine Compatibility:

  • Next Generation Control
  • 115V LED Work Lights

Tool Required:

  • 1/4" Hex
  • 1/4", 3/8" Wrench

 

High Intensity Lighting - Installation

1

Attach the BRACKET, LIGHT MOUNT ARM [C] to the BRACKET, LIGHT MOUNT PIVOT [F]. Use the 1/4-20 LOCKNUT NYLN INSRT [I].

Attach the HIL power cable [3] to the BRACKET, LIGHT MOUNT ARM [C]. Use the (2) CABLE CLAMP 1/4 [K] and (2) NUT, 10-32 NYLON LOCK [L].

Make (2) of these assemblies.

2

Remove the top cover panel [1] from the enclosure as necessary to get access to the control cabinet.

Put the CABLE, NGC HIL LIGHT [E] into the control cabinet and attach it to the enclosure. Use CLAMP 7/16" [J], CABLE TIE BLK 5.6 LG [N], and CABLE TIE CLAMP 16 LBS [O].

Install the WORKLIGHT, LED LAMP ASSEMBLY [B] above the main doors. Use (2) SCREW, FBHCS 1/4"-20 X 1/2" [H].

Connect the lamp cable to the CABLE, NGC HIL LIGHT [E].

3

For models: VF-1/2

NOTE: If the autodoor option was installed with the HIL option a riser plate [1] will need to be installed to avoid interference. 

The image shows the left HIL riser plate being installed, the plate [1] will need to be installed using FBHCS 1/4-20 X 1/2 LOCTITE [2] to the top enclosure. Then you will mount the HIL to the riser using FBHCS 1/4-20 X 1/2 LOCTITE [3]

 

4

For models VF-1/2:

The image shows the right HIL riser plate being installed, the plate [1] will need to be installed using FBHCS 1/4-20 X 1/2 LOCTITE [2] to the top enclosure. Then you will mount the HIL to the riser using FBHCS 1/4-20 X 1/2 LOCTITE [3].

 

5

For models: VM-6, VF-6 through 12.

 Note: Use the HIL MOUNT BRKT KIT VF-LARGE (P/N 30-12027A) kit.

Fully clean the front panel above the doors.

Attach the BRACKET, HIL MOUNT [G] to the BRACKET, LIGHT MOUNT ARM [C]. Use (1) SCREW,FBHCS 1/4"-20 X 1/2" [H] and (1) 1/4-20 nut.

Remove the backing paper from the adhesive tape [1] at the bottom of the BRACKET, HIL MOUNT [G].

Install the light assemblies above the main doors. Use (2) SCREW, FBHCS 1/4"-20 X 1/2" [H]. Push the tape tightly against the front panel.

Connect the cables from the light assemblies to the CABLE, 24V EXT [E].

Put the CABLE, 24V EXT into the control cabinet. Attach the cable to the cable channel [3]. Use CABLE TIE BLK 5.6 LG [N].

6

Connect the CABLE, HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTING BRANCH [E] to P22 [1] on the I/O PCB.

Do these steps to install the PUSH BUTTON, BLACK [D]:

  • Remove the switch plug [2] from the pendant.
  • Install the PUSH BUTTON, BLACK [D].
  • Connect the CABLE, HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTING COMMAND [M] to the PUSH BUTTON, BLACK [D].
  • Connect the other end of the command cable to J8 [3] on the SKBIF PCB.

7

To install the PUSH BUTTON, BLACK [D]:

  • Remove the pendant cover [1].
  • Remove the switch plug [2] from the pendant.
  • Install the PUSH BUTTON, BLACK [D].
  • Connect the CABLE, HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTING COMMAND [M] to the PUSH BUTTON, BLACK [D].
  • Connect the other end of the command cable to J8 [3] on the SKBIF PCB.

8

Push [POWER ON].

Change Setting 238, HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT TIMER, to 1.

Open the doors. If the HIL system operates correctly, the lights come on.

Wait one minute. If the HIL system operates correctly, the lights go off.

Change Setting 238, HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT TIMER to your preference.
