Installation #
- Start by installing the wheelblastIT frame assembly per the instructions listed in the section 3.3.
- Next, mount the innovateIT control cabinet in the equipment room per the instructions listed in section 3.4
- Place the tire eye sensor/tire pad switch per the instructions in section 3.3.
Wiring Frame Assembly to the Control Box #
- Run provided sensor cables from innovateIT control cabinet to each wheel blaster assembly. Do not run the sensor cable parallel to any high voltage lines.
- Connect the sensor cables at the control box
- Drivers’ side connections in innovateIT control cabinet
- Brown to fuse 2 on terminal strip (fig. 1.0)
- Blue to 502 on terminal strip (fig. 1.1)
- Black to 907 on terminal strip (fig. 1.2)
- Passenger’s side connection in innovateIT control cabinet
- Brown to fuse 3 on terminal strip (fig. 1.0)
- Blue to 502 on terminal strip (fig. 1.1)
- Black to 908 on terminal strip (fig. 1.2)
- Drivers’ side connections in innovateIT control cabinet
- When installing cable connections, use dielectric grease of NLGI viscosity grade 2 to minimize the potential for water intrusion shorting the sensor signal or corroding the pins.
- Reapply whenever cable is disconnected from sensor.
- Connect the sensor cables at the control box
-
- Connect the wires to the sensor
- Place a small amount of dielectric grease at the end of the sensor before installing the M12 cable connection
- Tighten the cable connection (hand tighten only)
- Connect the wires to the sensor
Electric Drive Motor Connection – Performed by Qualified Electrician #
- 3/4 hp Electric Drive Motor
- Wire 3ph power to the 3/4 hp electric drive motor (3ph power needed is chosen by the customer at the time of order)
- 208V or 480V
- Connect the driver side 3/4 hp electric motor
- Connect to 1VT1, 1VT2, 1VT3 and terminal strip (fig. 2)
- Connect the passenger side 3/4 hp electric motor
- Connect to 2VT1, 2VT2, 2VT3 and terminal strip (fig. 2)
Control Box Electrical Connection – Performed by Qualified Electrician #
- Connecting the 3 phase power for 3/4 hp electric motors
- Connect 3 phase power to the disconnect in the upper left-hand corner of the control panel (fig. 4)
-
- Connect 120vac to the 120L1, 120LN, and ground terminal located in wheelblastIT control box (fig. 5)
Tunnel Controller Connection #
- Connecting the conveyors run signal (Relay CR2)
- 120vac Tunnel Controller
- Run the conveyor signal to terminal 304
- 24 ac/dc Tunnel Controller
- Run the conveyor signal to terminal 104
- Motor Starter
- If using a motor starter for the conveyor, it would be the control voltage for the A1 connection on the coil of the motor starter
- VFD
- If using a VFD, the connection at the VFD is most likely a “dry contact”
- Please contact technical support and be prepared to explain how your tunnel controller connects to the VFD
- 120vac Common Voltage
- Run the common wire to 120LN terminal strip
- 24 ac/dc Common Voltage
- Run the common wire to 102 terminal strip
- 120vac Tunnel Controller
- Setting up a wheelblastIT function in the tunnel controller (Relay CR1)
- Begin by assigning the wheelblastIT its own function in the tunnel controller (if needed, contact your tunnel controller provider for assistance)
- Enter the distance from your tire switch to the wheel blaster spray nozzles
- Subtract 12” and set that value in the tunnel controller
- Enter the length in which the function will be on (approximately 12”)
- Assign output relay in tunnel controller that will be used (if needed, contact your tunnel controller provider for assistance)
- Connect output wiring from tunnel controller to innovateIT control cabinet (just like an air or water solenoid)
- Connect the “hot” wire off output relay in tunnel controller to terminal strip #303 for 120vac or #103 for 24v ac/dc
- Connect the “neutral/common” wire from tunnel controller to terminal strip 120LN for 120vac or #102 for 24v ac/dc
Pump/Solenoid Electrical Connection #
- Only needed if innovateIT control cabinet is controlling water for the wheelblastIT
- Connect constant control power from tunnel controller to terminal strip #307 for 120vac or terminal strip #107 for 24v ac/dc
- If using a VFD to run a pump and not using a solenoid
- Connect “hot wire” to motor starter/solenoid to terminal strip #1700
- Wire “com” of VFD for run command to terminal strip #307/107
- Wire “run/fwd” of VFD for run command to terminal strip #1700
Water Connection #
- Connect the HP water hose from the wheelblastIT energy chain to your high-pressure pumping station (not included)
- Pumping station requires 10-12 gpm @ 800psi
- Recommended: (1) ¾” stainless steel line from pumping station to the location of the wheelblastIT, then split to (2) ½” lines extending to each assembly
Internet Connections #
- The Tosibox will provide the innovateIT technical support staff remote access to your wheelblastIT control system
- Connect ethernet cable from your router or network switch to the Tosibox port indicated by the red arrow
