applied to Zone 2 if that zone will be used for a cure.
2. Locate the surface mount connector labeled POWER INPUT on the front panel of the ACR
3. Align the power cord connector with the surface mount connector and insert. The power input
cord connectors are keyed to prevent improper connections.
4. Turn the locking ring clockwise 1/2 turn to lock the cord into place. The power cord must be
fully inserted and locked for proper operation.
5. Connect the power input cord to the properly rated power supply.

Each Zone must be plugged into its own dedicated 30A branch circuit.

Starting Up

1. Flip the circuit breaker switches to the ON position.
2. Flip the red main power switch to the ON position. The main power switch illuminates when
on.

Temperature Sensor Attachment

®
The ACR 3 Hot Bonder uses Type J thermocouples for temperature input. There are 10 sensor
inputs per zone.
Connect thermocouple sensors as required. The program to be run will determine the number of
sensors necessary.

Vacuum Hose Connect

®
The ACR 3 requires two vacuum hoses per zone for proper vacuum operation. One hose is for
the vacuum source. The second hose is for vacuum monitoring. To assure proper vacuum levels,
the two hoses must be attached to the vacuum bag / repair area as far apart as possible.
®
3.
The vacuum connectors are self-sealing and designed for quick disconnect allowing it to be
operated by one hand.
1. Attach the female end of the vacuum source hose the port marked VAC. CONNECT and the
other to one of the vacuum ports on the repair.
2. Attach the female end of the vacuum monitor hose to the port marked VAC MONITOR and
the male end to the second vacuum feed- through on the repair.
3. The vacuum level can be adjusted independently for each zone. Turn the VAC. ADJUST
valve counter clockwise to decrease that vacuum level and clockwise to increase the vacuum
level.

Electric Pump

Each zone has its own electric pump. To turn on the built-in electric vacuum pump, flip the green
PUMP ON/OFF switch to on. The switch illuminates when activated. To turn the pump off, flip the
green PUMP ON/OFF switch to off. The switch will no longer be illuminated.

Vacuum Venturi

The vacuum venturi converts compressed air to vacuum.
1. Attach a compressed air source to the AIR INLET port. The air must be clean and dry to
avoid problems with the Venturi system. It is recommended to utilize an in line filter system for
the compressed air.
2. Adjust the inlet air pressure to 80 PSI.

External Vacuum

®
The ACR 3 has the option of using an external vacuum source. To use, connect an external
vacuum source to the EXTERNAL VACUUM port.
