8 Vision Engravers and Routers PRE-Installation Guide VR48 Router Unloading the Crate - IMPORTANT INFORMATION Please follow these guidelines when unloading the crated machine from the freight truck. The VR48 is shipped in a large framed crate with all accessories loaded under the machine. The crate presents a significant tip hazard when using lower capacity fork lifts.
VR48 Router 8.1 25 Requirements Electrical Connections 1. A qualified and licensed electrician must be used to complete all wiring and grounding of the machine according to all state, local, and national electrical codes. 2. Make sure all Junction Boxes and Outlets are mounted according to all state, local and national electrical codes. 3. Junction Box #1 (50 Amp, 220 VAC, Single Phase) will power the router table, spindle, and controls.
Vision Engravers and Routers PRE-Installation Guide Locating the Router 1. A doorway of at least 80 inches wide and 80 inches high is required in order for the router to be moved into your facility. 2. Locate machine indoors on a flat surface and on a solid foundation. 3. Temperature must remain between 40°F and 85°F. 4. Do not expose machine to direct sunlight, rain, vibration, dampness, or explosive environments. 5.
VR48 Router 27 Leveling the machine 1. Make sure the machine has been properly located at your work-site. 2. It is not necessary to bolt your machine to the floor in your facility. However, a solid, stable foundation is required to support the machine's weight. 3. There should be a leveling bolt in each of the four machine legs. 4. Place a precision leveling gauge on the machine's table top and adjust the leveling bolts until the machine is level in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
8.2 Vision Engravers and Routers PRE-Installation Guide Wiring Connections The Main Power Switch is located on the left side of the VR48. The main power supply is connected to the Main Electrical Box on the left side of the VR48. Remove the cover and make the connections as shown below. Ground is connected to the bare wire and common leads are connected to the two shielded wires. The supply for this connection is Junction Box #1 (220 VAC, Single Phase).
VR48 Router 29 On the front of the control box for VR48 Router, there are four connection ports; One is an Ethernet port used to connect your computer or network to the on-board Series 4 Controller, the second is for the Pendant, the third is a USB port used to connect a computer to the VR48 when using the DACS Camera System, and the fourth is to connect the Remote Start Switch for the Dust Collector System.
Vision Engravers and Routers PRE-Installation Guide The Dust Collector Remote Start Switch will need to be connected. For ease of operation, a remote start switch and cables can be used to turn on the dust collector automatically when a job is being run. The supply for this connection is from Outlet #1 (220 VAC, Single Phase, 20 Amp).
VR48 Router 31 Wiring for this switch is shown below. The input and output wires should be connected as shown. Both input and output ground wires can be connected to the single GND location shown. The switch can be wall mounted at a location convenient for the user. The Remote Start Cable is connected to the Remote Start Port on the front of the machine's control box.
8.3 Vision Engravers and Routers PRE-Installation Guide Vacuum Pump Connections - Vacuum Table Models Only The Main Vacuum Port for the VR48 is located at the foot of the machine. To connect the vacuum pump to the machine, use the supplied 3" diameter vacuum hose and connect one end to the vacuum pump and the other end to the Main Vacuum Port on the machine. The vacuum pump has been equipped with an electrical connector designed for a 40 amp, 220 VAC, 3 phase power supply.
