Commissioning

1. If multiple tank openings or ports exist, then appropriate
warning labels must be attached to all of them. Additional
warning labels can be ordered from Martin Engineering or
a contracted dealer.
2. Vent all of the compressed air lines.
NOTE
It is necessary in the case of larger air cannon systems that the air
cannons be vented individually to prevent a heavy pressure loss in
the pressure system.
NOTE
Although the recommended minimum pressure for most
applications is 3 bars, a lower operating pressure is possible.
Ensure that the air cannon is supplied solely with filtered and
controllable compressed air (see Section 9.11).
NOTE
Make sure that the safety slide is open before firing the air cannon.
This is indicated by the "Open" and "Closed" labels on the safety
slide.
3. Start up the compressed air supply to the air cannon; the air
cannon tank fills with air.
NOTE
If the air cannon does not fill during the initial start-up, this can be
determined by loud rustling noses in the tank or by the gauge
display (if provided), Note Section 7 "Troubleshooting".
4. Check the air cannon installation for leaks. Note Section 7
"Troubleshooting" if leaks occur.
NOTE
A small amount of air escapes from the solenoid valve and the
venting valve during initial commissioning and every subsequent
restart.
