2 Installation
Overview
If the Fan Width Control System was included as an option with the purchase of your dispensing system,
most of the installation process will already be complete. The sensors and the Fan Width Enclosure will
still need to be installed. This section covers the installation of the Sensor Fixture and the Fan Width
Enclosure, and the setup of the ECNT Software.
WARNING! CAUTION!
The installation should be performed only by Asymtek-trained personnel. Follow
the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation.
Installing the Sensor Fixture
Tools and Materials Needed
• 9/32-inch hex key • Tie-wraps
• 2.5-mm hex key • 3-mm hex key
To install the Sensor Fixture:
1. Find a suitable location for the Drain Pan on the conveyor rail and mark where the Drain Pan
Bracket will be attached.
2. Using the screws and the 9/32-inch hex key, attach the Drain Pan Mounting Plate to the
conveyor rail. See Figure 1-1.
TIP The Drain Pan should be placed in an appropriate location for the application.
The robot needs to be able to reach to the center of the Drain Pan, approximately
4cm (1.6 in.) from the outer edge of the conveyor rail.
3. Assemble the Sensor Clamps with the M5 screw, three o-rings, and washer.
> The three o-rings fit into the cylindrical bore on the Sensor Brackets. The washer sits on
top of the o-rings.
4. Using the 3-mm hex key, attach the Sensor Clamps to the Sensor Brackets. Do not tighten the
clamps at this time. See Figure 2-1.
5. Thread each of the fiber optic Fan Sensors into their respective brackets, making sure to align
the sensor with the hole in the bracket. See Figure 2-1.
> The Fan Sensors and the Sensor Brackets have “flat edges” to ensure proper sensor
alignment. Align the flat part of the sensor with the flat part of the slot in the bracket.
Once aligned, firmly push the sensor into the slot until the tip of the sensor touches the
pin at the back of the slot.
> The Fan Sensors are interchangeable but the emitter should be in the rear. When the
emitter is in the rear position, it is easier to see if the light beam is on.
