    SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter Installation of Control Package Components INSTALLATION MANUAL Included with every shipment is an installation manual, “Operator Safety Precaution” Pamphlet (Part No. KSC-000), danger sign(s), and electrical schematics. These publications must be available and fully understood before any retrofit installation begins. Please notify Rockford Systems, LLC immediately if there are any questions about the components received.
  • Page 11 SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter CONTROL BOX (continued) The control box includes a “power on” indicator light, a through-the-door fuse holder for ease of fuse inspection and replacement, a relay, terminal strips, and a PC board assembly. The door of the control box can be locked to prevent unauthorized personnel from opening the control box. ALWAYS BE SURE TO DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE OPENING THE CONTROL BOX DOOR.
  • Page 12 SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter Other Required Components (Not part of package unless specifically ordered) MAIN POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH A main power disconnect switch may have been supplied in the package shipment. This switch is designed to disconnect the primary voltage to the machine and lock it out.
  • Page 13 SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter Mechanical to Electro-Pneumatic Conversion (continued) RCL SERIES AIR CYLINDERS (See Specification Sheet No. KSL-092) One of the following pull-type air cylinders may be adequate to Photo 2.5 operate the machine: Part Bore Stroke Overall Lbs.
  • Page 14 SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter SOLENOID AIR VALVE ASSEMBLY (continued) Mount the solenoid valve assembly in a vertical position. The electrical conduit fitting can be easily adjusted to face in any horizontal direction by loosening the hex nut at the top and turning the enclosure. Retighten this nut after locating the fitting. Saddle clamp-type terminals are provided on the solenoid for wiring.
  • Page 15 SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter FILTER-REGULATOR-GAUGE AND LUBRICATOR ASSEMBLY (FRL) (continued) Regulate the air pressure high enough to develop sufficient pull (or push) to operate the machine mechanically. Bring shop air supply to the machine. Connect the air supply at the threaded opening, indicated as “IN” by the direction arrow on the filter/regulator. Maintain minimum 1/4”...
  • Page 16 SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter FOOT SWITCH (continued) If you choose to use a foot control, all personnel must be warned that it is impossible for a foot switch to provide any form of point-of-operation safeguarding. It is the responsibility of the employer (user) to always provide an appropriate guard and/or device to prevent bodily injury whenever a foot switch is used to initiate a machine cycle.

  • Page 17: Other Installation Considerations

    SECTION 2—INSTALLATION Detect-A-Finger™ Drop Probe Device - Riveter Mechanical to Electrical Conversion (continued) Do not remove any of the clutch operating linkage compression springs or return mechanism. The solenoid must be properly aligned with the trip-rod for a successful application. The installation must allow the solenoid plunger to travel in a straight line, perpendicular to the mounting surface.
