Connecting and disconnecting the air source

About this topic
Before you start
Connecting the air
source
Compressed air is used to move pneumatic components inside the
PlateLoc. This topic explains how to connect the PlateLoc to the air
source and check the connections for leaks before use.
Make sure you have the following:
Air tubing (supplied)
NPT or metric fitting adaptor (supplied)
To connect the PlateLoc to your air source:
1. Turn off the air at the source (house, cylinder, or pump).
2. Attach the following adaptor fittings to the air source connection if
necessary:
NPT fitting. If your air source uses a threaded connection, attach
the supplied 1/4-inch or 1/8-in NPT fitting to the connection. The
NPT fitting is threaded on one end and has a quick-release fitting
on the other end.
Metric fittings adaptor. If your lab requires metric fittings at the air
source, attach the supplied 1/4-inch metric adaptor fitting to the
air source connection. The metric adaptor fitting has a quick-
release fitting on one end.
3. Connect one end of the air tubing to the air source (house, cylinder,
or pump), and then connect the free end of the tubing to the quick
disconnect fitting at the air-input (AIR IN) port.
To connect the tubing, push the end of the tubing into the quick
disconnect fitting at the air source and on the back of the PlateLoc.
The following diagram shows the air tubing connection on the back
of the PlateLoc.
