Instruction Manual
There is a single electrical connection between the TegraPol and the
TegraForce. This provides both the 24V power supply to the
TegraForce and a data bus, which enables the TegraPol and
TegraForce to communicate.
Switch off the TegraPol.
Use the single cable attached to the TegraForce, and connect it
to the Sample Mover connector on the rear of the TegraPol. To
locate this connector, refer to the diagram for the back of the
TegraPol in the section "Getting Acquainted with TegraPol".
The quality of the air in the compressed air system used with this
machine must meet the standards stated in ISO 8573-1. To connect
the TegraSystem:
Mount the quick coupling on the pressure hose and secure it with
the hose clamp supplied.
Connect the air hose to the quick coupling and fit the other end
into the compressed air inlet on TegraForce-1.
The air pressure must be between 5 bar (72 psi) and 10 bar (145 psi) and
have a quality specified in ISO 8573-1.
TegraForce is fitted with a water / oil filter that removes excessive
amounts of these substances from the compressed air supply. As a
result of this, it is necessary to empty the filter periodically:
Remove the preparation disc from the work area. Failure to do
this may result in the preparation disc being contaminated by
water and oil particles landing on it.
Locate the release outlet valve on the bottom of the filter glass.
Hold a container under the filter to retain any water released and
press the release valve.
Replace the preparation disc.
