INFLE EXIONTM 2.5 5 CONNECTING DC POW WER TO THE BASE 1. From the customer supplied 12 VDC power supply, run th he red and black 12V DC power wires tthrough one of the east AWG 12 e strain reliefs s in the side of o the base. Ensure E the ca ables are at le 2 and no long ger than 50ft from the t power sup pply to the ba ase board. 2. Locatte terminal blo ock TB3. Term minal Block TB3 3 3. Connect the positiv ve, red, 12 VD DC cable to 7 PWR and co onnect the ne egative, black, cable to 8 C COM.
INFLEXIONTM 4. Upon receipt of the INFLEXION, the hand-held controller should already be wired to the green base board connector. 2.6 PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECK Before beginning installation, make certain that the area is free of overhead power lines and other unwanted sources of electricity. Follow OSHA safety regulations when working near energized power lines. Be sure to allow sufficient clearance on all sides of mast to allow for side sway. This mast is for outdoor use only.
INFLEXIONTM CHAPTER 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS All operators must read the Operation section of this manual and be properly trained. Keep personnel clear of mast while during operation. For outdoor use only. Do not use in areas that have been classified as hazardous as defined in Article 500 of the National Electric Code. Do not use in the presence of flammable gases or liquids such as paint, gasoline or solvents. Do not use in areas of limited ventilation or where high ambient temperatures are present.
INFLEXIONTM 3.1 GENERAL MAST OPERATION The mast hand-held controller (Figure 3-1).has a momentary toggle switch and a cord that is wired into the baseboard. When the “Mast Up” button is pressed and held, the INFLEXION operates the DC powered actuator and drives the mast from the stowed position to the 90o position. Releasing the “Mast Up’ switch at any time stops mast motion. Note there is no Auto-up feature to automatically raise the mast to 90o.
INFLEXIONTM 3.2 EMERGENCY STOW (LOSS OF POWER): Make sure all power has been disconnected from the INFLEXION prior to manually lowering mast. In the event of power loss, the INFLEXION mast will vent and lower automatically but the mast will not return to its fully stowed horizontal position. If possible, this must be accomplished manually and must be done with extreme caution.
INFLEXIONTM CHAPTER 4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 INTRODUCTION This section of the manual describes routine maintenance procedures and covers general service information. 4.2 CLEANING THE INFLEXION The exterior of the INFLEXION base should be wiped down periodically to remove dirt and road grime using a soft cloth or sponge and a mild solution of soapy water. 4.3 ADJUSTMENTS The proximity switches (Figure 4-1) are intended to stop the actuator when the mast is at 90o and when it is stowed.
INFLEXIONTM Adjusting the 90o Proximity Switch Before delivery of a new INFLEXION, all switches are properly set and tested and normally no switch adjustment is necessary. However, if the 90o switch needs adjusted, like after the actuator was replaced, follow these steps to adjust the 90o switch: 1. Make certain that the INFLEXION base is level. 2. Remove the base side cover. 3. Loosen the upper jam nut to lower the switch approximately 1/8”. 4.
INFLEXIONTM 4.4 TROUBLESHOOTING Refer to Table 4-1 troubleshoot INFLEXION issues. WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should install, adjust, service and use INFLEXION. WARNING: Before troubleshooting, read the operating instructions and the safety summary. Always obey the warnings in the operating instructions.
