Autoveyor product line. Please contact us for more details on this product line. ® In order to provide the greatest speed and safety of operation, the TransTrax operates at two different speeds. The carrier travels at slow speed when it is exposed to either the customer or pharmacist.

® A schematic of an installed TransTrax system identifying major components by part number follows. If there are questions about any of the following, contact the Technical Service Department at (513) 677- 0500.
Installation Installation Overview: ® The process of installing a TransTrax into a building consists of first mounting the inside vertical, attaching the radius, adding the horizontal section, attaching the customer radius, and then mounting the customer end. All horizontal wiring cables are designed to run inside the tubing.

® Cutting TransTrax Tube: ® The TransTrax system uses a proprietary aluminum extrusion. This extrusion must be cut using carbide tipped circular saw blade in a power miter box. No other way of cutting the tube is acceptable. Many have tried to use an abrasive blade installed in a power miter box to cut the tube. Do not use this method as it will yield cuts that will not function properly.

Connect the HORIZONTAL WIRING CABLES To the inside vertical assembly and through all other tubing, as the unit is assembled. Sometimes “fishing” the wiring cable through the tubing can be a challenge due to the screws, etc. We have found that a “fish tape” made from a scrap section of tape does a great job.
Ceiling Trims: ® Secure the CEILING TRIM halves together around the TransTrax tube with the #8-32 hardware provided. Holes must be predrilled with the short 9/64" bit provided in the installation accessories to prevent drilling into and damaging wiring. Attach the ceiling trim to the tubing of the ®...
Power Connection: The AC Line connection is at the top of the INSIDE VERTICAL STANDOFF. Connection method should comply with all authorities having jurisdiction, (i.e. National, State or Local Electrical Codes). A 1/2" knockout is provided on a single gang box cover. Removing the cover will reveal three leads for termination.
Wiring: ® The wiring for the TransTrax is connectorized and is enclosed within the tubing of the machine. The vertical cable extends through the top of the vertical assemblies and connects with the horizontal cable.
Note: The shift points are controlled by a microprocessor that is monitoring the rotation of the sprocket shaft and the settings should not vary due to speed, that is monitoring the rotation of the sprocket shaft and the settings should not vary due to speed, voltage, temperature, age of machine, etc.

Audio Adjustment This unit has the BavSonic audio system. There is one NA Base Audio Board located on the back of the customer speaker panel assembly, inside the weatherproof enclosure. Please see diagram below. This NA Base Audio Board adjusts the outgoing volume of the audio to the customer by turning the gain pot.
® Troubleshooting the TransTrax This section assumes that the machine in question has been inspected for loose, damaged or missing parts, tape, belts, wiring, etc. If the unit has a connector board located behind the customer speaker panel, remove the connecting and audio wires from the connector board and hardwire together matching color to color.

CARRIER WON'T RUN EITHER DIRECTION: This presumes that the power LED works properly. If it does not, go to the paragraph on "NOTHING WORKS". First replace the MOTOR FUSE. Replace it only with an AGC10 fuse. This is a U.L. listed fuse rated for 120vac. Do not use fuses rated for only 32vac. If the carrier does not run, proceed to the paragraph "CARRIER WON'T RUN IN WHEN INSIDE RECALL BUTTON IS DEPRESSED".
NOTE: Cleaning is the single most important aspect of TransTrax maintenance. ® One may also notice a light gray to black dust. This material is produced by the TransTrax in its process of self-lubrication. It is normal for this dust to form. However, it should be removed in the cleaning process.
The motor is designed to provide in excess of 600,000 cycles under plant conditions. Actual life ® under "real world" conditions will vary. Since the TransTrax uses a totally enclosed non-vent DC motor, the failure after its rated life is caused by worn out brushes. While it is possible to re- brush the motor, it is not recommended, nor does the factory support it.
