Page 4: Introduction
1 Introduction This manual describes the operations required to connect the VISUAL POINT to the machine and to make it operational. 1.1 Important notes for installation Please read these notes: Always check the supply voltage required by the instrument before proceeding with the wiring of the same. - Page 5 The RESET input can be connected directly to +24V to leave it always active so that the instrument is always ready to perform a new cycle. The START input must be kept active throughout the cycle, otherwise, "test interrupted" is signaled and the piece is discarded.

2 Mechanical assembly There are two versions of VISUAL POINT: 24VDC and 115-230VAC. Before connecting the instrument, check the supply voltage with maximum safety. Figure1 2.1 Dimensions Measurements in millimeters. Version for external mounting To the indicated depth it is necessary to add the overall dimensions of the cables of at least 80mm. -
Page 7: Implementation Of The Visual Point
3 Implementation of the VISUAL POINT The VISUAL POINT is divided into two opto-isolated sections. The first section mounts the control electronics and the conditioning and transducer interface electronics. The second section mounts the electronics of the digital inputs and outputs. The two sections have separate power supplies both at 24VDC. - Page 8 3.1.1 Power terminal block (X1) The electronics and transducers are powered via the three-pole terminal block X1. First name clamp Function 0VDC X1.1 Negative power supply X1.2 Earth connection +24VDC X1.3 Positive feeding If the internal power supply is present, the switch behind the instrument must interrupt the phase and the neutral before reaching the power supply itself.

Page 14: Instructions For Assembling Instrument With Container
To be able to do this, you must first reset the height offset as described in the user manual and then follow the instructions below: 3.5.1 For Alfamatic presses type M-OP Turn on the instrument and remove the cover covering the encoder, the rack and the top dead center limit switch by unscrewing the two screws. -
Page 15: Programmable Output Setpoint
Lower the cylinder with the lever and bring it back to the top dead centre: at this point the instrument must display a negative value of a few millimetres. 3.5.2 For standard Alfamatic presses First of all, press the emergency button of the press, turn on the instrument and open the upper cover of the rack block, which is closed by two cross-head self-threading screws. -
