Danfoss FT1555-BM bench mount capping machine Operator’s Manual

The Danfoss FT1555-BM bench mount capping system (Figure 1)

provides a quick and economical solution to prevent contamination

in hydraulic circuits. CapSeal capsules prevent particulate and other

contaminants from entering hose assembly ends once the fittings

are assembled, and prevent the fitting terminal end threads from

being damaged during transit. The capping system also works on

the tube and pipe ends preventing moisture and contamination

from getting into the tubing and piping assemblies.

The purpose of this manual is to present critical safety information,

and basic installation and operating instructions for the Danfoss

FT1555-BM capping system.

Thoroughly read the operator’s manual before attempting to

heat shrink capsules on the terminal ends of a hose assembly,

tube or pipe assembly. Electronic manuals can be found on

Danfoss Power Source, or print versions can be ordered via

Standard Register. Failure to follow operating instruction

could result in serious injury or property damage.

Prevent Unauthorized Operation: Do not permit anyone to

operate this machine unless they have thoroughly read and

understand this manual.

Wear Safety Glasses: Risk of eye injury! Eye protection is

required at all times during the installation, operation and

maintenance of this machine. Failure to wear safety glasses

could result in personal injury.

Keep work area clean: cluttered areas and benches invite

accidents.

Do not touch the areas of the machine around the Heat

Shrink Tunnel Plunger as these surfaces are hot and they can

cause burns. Let the machine housing surfaces cool down

before touching external surfaces of the machine. Do not

expose skin or eyes to hot air exhausting from the machine

around the Heat Shrink Tunnel plunger or Hot Air Out Vent.

(See Figure 1).

Incorrect use of hot air blowers can cause fire and explosion

hazard, especially near combustible materials and explosive

gases.

Unplug the power supply when the Heat Shrink machine is

not in use.

Do not open machine enclosure when capping system is

plugged into a live power supply. This is not a field repairable

machine.

Do not open machine enclosure except to perform

maintenance as outlined in this manual.

Installation / environment

Step 1:

Position the machine in a clean, dry, level surface in a well

ventilated area free of combustible material. Keep a clear perimeter

of 12” on both sides and 6” at rear of machine. Do not place

anything on top of machine.

Step 2:

Connect to an appropriate power source using a NEMA L6-15,

2-pole, 3-wire grounding, 15 Amp 230V locking plug and outlet.

(See Figure 2)

Machine operation

Step 3:

Set the Power On/Off switch and Heater Timer On/Off to the Off

position before connecting the machine to the power source.

(See Figure 3)

Installation / environment

Step 4:

Set the Main Power On/Off switch to the On position.

Note: Power Switch will illuminate green when power is on.

(See Figure 4).

Step 5:

Turn the Heater On/Off Timer clockwise past 10 minutes to desired

heat duration allowing for at least five minutes of preheat time.

(See Figure 5).

Note: White indicator light will illuminate when heater is activated.

Step 6:

Select the proper CapSeal capsule by measuring the end fitting

point to point on a hex style fitting or the measure the largest

outside diameter of the end fitting. (See Figure 6).

Step 7:

Reference the sizing chart on page 7 to determine the proper

CapSeal capsule.

Step 8:

Place CapSeal capsule over the end-fitting securely ensuring that

the fitting is fully inserted into the capsule. (See Figure 7).

Installation / environment

Step 9:

Place capsuled hose assembly fitting end against white Heat

Shrink Tunnel Plunger and push into heat Shrink Tunnel Plunger

about 3” and hold for at least 2 seconds. (See Figure 8 & 9).

Step 10:

Remove hose assembly and inspect capsule to confirm that it is

shrunk securely onto fitting end. (See Figure 10).

Maintenance

Bi-monthly cleaning of the Danfoss FT1555-BM Capping System

Intake Air Filter and Grill is vital in maintaining correct operating

temperatures and function of the heating element. Proper air flow

through the system will prevent the element from over heating

which can cause internal damage and possible fire hazard. Airborne

contaminates varies from location to location, and it is imperative

that the Air Intake Filter and Grill is cleaned every two months at a

minimum.

Step 1:

Turn the timer to “0” position and turn off the main power switch

and disconnect the FT1555-BM Capping System from the power

source. (See Figure 11).

Step 2:

Visually inspect the Capping System for signs of overheating

i.e. discoloration of the stainless steel cover, warning labels,

discoloration or cracking of the plunger or deformation of the

rubber mounts. (See Figure 12).

Step 3:

Pry and remove the black plastic filter retainer on the back of the

switch plate and remove the foam filter. Wash the filter in warm

soap and water and dry completely. (See Figure 13).

Step 4:

Using a 1/8” hex key wrench remove four 10-32 x 1/4” button head

cap screws from the main switch end plate, two in the front and

two in the back. (See Figure 14).

Maintenance

Step 5:

Turn the unit on the front side and remove the three 1/4-20 x 3/8”

button head cap screws from the base plate using a 5/32” hex key

wrench. (See Figure 15).

Step 6:

Remove the switch end plate and inspect the air intake grill for

debris. Using a coarse brush remove any debris from the intake grill

that could obstruct air flow. (See Figure 16).

Step 7:

Replace the main switch end plate. (See Figure 17).

Step 8:

Reinstall the foam filter and retainer and return unit to service.

(See Figure 18).
