TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance Section 1 Installation 1.1 OVERVIEW This section documents the installation of TMP4100, TMP4100E, TMP4150, and TMP4155 marking heads. The TMP4100, TMP4150, and TMP4155 heads contain a pneumatic pin that uses air pressure to drive the pin from and return the pin to the pin cartridge. The TMP4100E (electric) head uses no air pressure. The TMP4100E uses an electric solenoid to drive and an internal spring to assist pin return.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 1.2 SPECIFICATIONS The marking equipment design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice. 1.2.1 TMP4100 Marking Head Weight ........4.08 lb. (1.85 kg) marking head with handle 5.50 lb. (2.50 kg) marking head with handle and marker cable Dimensions ( ....
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 1.2.3 TMP4150 and TMP4155 Marking Heads Weight ........8.7 lb. (3.9 kg) marking head, brackets, and cable Dimensions ( ....9.89 x 5.12 x 4.96 in. (251 x 130 x 126 mm) with 25XL pin (w/o boot*) L x W x H 10.14 x 5.12 x 4.96 in.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 1.2.4 Filter/Regulator Unit The TMP4100E does not employ a filter/regulator unit. It uses an electric solenoid to drive the TMP4100E: pin and an internal spring to assist pin return. The filter/regulator unit includes a regulator with a coarse filter and a pressure gauge to control the TMP4100: drive air.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 1.3 UNPACKING THE EQUIPMENT This section provides guidelines for receiving and unpacking the TMP4100-Series marking equipment. C A U T I O N If your equipment arrives during cold weather, allow the components to warm up for several hours before opening the containers. Exposing the equipment to room temperatures may cause condensation in the units.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 1.3.2 Inspecting for Damage Place the components on a table and inspect each one for damage. Report any damage to your delivery service immediately. Inspect the marking head. ♦ Ensure the marking head is not dented or cracked. ♦...
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 1.4.1 General • A safety guard may be required to keep operators away from the moving marking TMP4150, TMP4155: head and impact pin. • A part-present switch may be installed to allow a only when a part is START PRINT TMP4150, TMP4155: in marking position.
Air Flow. The cyclone effect (see above) cannot occur if there is little or no flow of air. Telesis markers use much less air at idle than when marking. So it’s during the idle time that the aerosol particles have a chance to cool and condense on the walls of the cartridge and pin.
Page 19
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance Plumbing Factors. Another practice for obtaining clean, dry air is to ensure the equipment is not at the end of the air line. Plumb the air supply to go up (vertically) off the main air supply line, then down to the top of a tee. The stem of the tee should be horizontal and go to the marker.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 1.5 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Perform the following procedures (in the order listed) to install the marking equipment. See Figure 1-1 for a general arrangement illustration. N O T E It is the responsibility of the installing agency to ensure the installation requirements are correctly implemented.

TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 2.6 TESTING PROCEDURES This section provides reference tables to check the circuitry for TMP4100-Series marking heads. 2.6.1 Stepper Motor Resistance The following information is provided to check the resistance values of the stepper motor circuit. Remove electrical power from the marking system. Remove air pressure from the marking system.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 2.6.3 Extension Cable Continuity The following information is provided to check the continuity of the marking head extension cable, if used. The cable connects between the TMP4100-Series marker cable and the controller. Remove electrical power from the marking system. Remove air pressure from the marking system.
2.7 REPAIR PROCEDURES Authorized repair of the TMP4100-Series marking head is limited to impact pin reconditioning. Any other repair of the marking head must be performed by repair agencies authorized by Telesis Technologies, Inc. 2.7.1 Impact Pin Reconditioning Pin life depends largely on the type of material being marked, how hard or abrasive it is, and the required marking depth.
Page 41
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance The recommended grinding wheels for the various pin material are listed below. The minimum pin lengths allow for only about a 3% reduction in the total length during reconditioning. Therefore, only the smallest amount of material necessary to obtain a sharp point should be removed. Several small “cuts” should be taken, instead of larger ones, to avoid removing more material than necessary and to avoid overheating the pin.
Authorized replacement of the TMP4100-Series marking head components are listed in the following paragraphs. Component replacement procedures not explicitly contained in this document must be performed by repair agencies authorized by Telesis Technologies, Inc. 2.8.1 Impact Pin / Pin Cartridge Follow the steps below to remove and replace the impact pin and/or the pin cartridge assembly.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 2.8.2 Marker Standoff The TMP4150 and TMP4155 do not use a marker standoff. The following section does TMP4150, TMP4155: not apply to the TMP4150 or TMP4155 markers. Perform the following procedure to replace the standoffs mounted on the front of the TMP4100, TMP4100E: marking head.
TMP4100-Series Installation/Maintenance 2.8.3 TMP4100 Solenoid Valve Perform the following procedure to replace the TMP4100 solenoid valve. Removal Remove electrical power from the marking system. Remove air pressure from the marking system. Remove the standoffs. (see replacement procedure) Using a 2.5mm hex key, remove four M3-0.50 x 25 screws securing right cover to left cover.

HEALTH HAZARD DATA (continued) Carcinogenicity - The National Toxicology Program (NTP) found there was sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity of nickel in experimental animals and limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of nickel in humans. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found there was inadequate evidence that metallic cobalt and metallic nickel are carcinogenic to humans, but since there was sufficient evidence that they carcinogenic to animals, IARC concluded that metallic cobalt and metallic nickel are possibly carcinogenic to humans.
