6
Always keep to following safety warnings when using the machine:

ENSURE THAT MACHINE IS CONNECTED TO AN EFFICIENT GROUNDING CIRCUIT.

DO NOT CHANGE FOR WHATEVER REASON ANY MACHINE PARTS TO ADAPT FURTHER
EQUIPMENT TO IT. SHOULD THIS CONDITION BE UNOBSERVED, CHRONOS WILL
NOT ANSWER FOR RESULTING MALFUNCTION OR TROUBLE. ENQUIRE FOR
CHANGE, IF ANY, AT OUR TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT.

ENSURE THAT ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE CONNECTED BY SUITABLE CABLE TO A

PROPER GROUNDING SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH EFFICIENT EARTH PLATES.
GROUNDING LINE MUST BE CHECKED WITH PROPER INSTRUMENTS BY A SKILLED
INSTALLER.

EACH INTERVENTION ON SYSTEM OR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MUST BE CARRIED

OUT SOLELY BY A SKILLED ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE OPERATOR.

7
 MACHINE POSTERING

 NOTES ON THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM

In executing the electric system, all efforts have been made to simplify the circuits
so easing the maintenance and check work.

Coding and identification of components

All components, both in-field and in the cabinet, have been identified by a code
marked on the wiring diagram. This coding corresponds to the component
location in the diagram and the corresponding coordinates (page - column).
To further ease component state check (i.e., whether a PLCs input is powered or
not), the component has been identified with the initial of its PLCs input.

Control and supply voltage

Supply voltage to Control Panel must be 380 V 3-phase with a 10% maximum
variation. A 5% adjustment may be made on power units input of auxiliary
circuits.
Control voltages are as follows.
24 VDC for limit switches, push-buttons, sensors, photocells and pilot lamps
110 VAC for contactors and solenoid valves
220 VAC for PLCs supply

Cabinet inner lighting and service plugs must be powered separately via a 220
Volt single-phase line.

(1) This operation consists of dust removal from lens and reflectors. Do not use
abrasive cloth

(2) The operation consists of checking the mechanical tightness of sensors and
limit switches and checking the intervention gap from the corresponding cams

(3) The operation consists of checking the electric cables to see they are not being
damaged from shock against mechanical parts

(4) The operation consists of checking the contactors contacts and relays good
conditions.3
