3.1 First time Operation and Training:
We do recommend that you run PLUGGO for a few cycles without it¹s sample carousel in
order to familiarise yourself with it¹s general mode of operation.
1. Connect PLUGGO to a supply source with protective ground.
2. Switch on using rocker switch on panel at right hand side.
The red neon should now be on.
3. Black button on same panel is for starting carousel movement.
(Carousel drive disk will move counter clockwise.)
4. Red button on same panel is an emergency stop for carousel.
5. Carousel drive disk can be moved manually but only in a counter
clockwise direction.
Now load an empty carousel. See figure 3. Locate the colour mark on the carousel to be in
line with the "home position pin" on the carousel drive disk. In this case, the pin will fit into
the hole in base of carousel. Be sure not to rotate the carousel when placing on the drive
disk. With the carousel installed correctly you will see that it stops automatically when
reaching the "home position" which is marked.
If the drive disk is unintentionally rotated when handling the carousel, the drive disk will be
out of the correct position and cause malfunction. In this case, lift of carousel and press
start to let Pluggo go to automatic stop.
As an alternative, the drive disk could be turned counter clockwise manually until it
reaches the home position. Make sure not to rotate beyond the home snap location!
Note: If the drive disk is slightly out of the home snap position, Pluggo will fail in de-
capping the tubes.
PLUGGO's red emergency stop button (see Fig 1) works like a normal switch i.e. after
use, it has to be pressed again to reset and if necessary press the start button again. It is
recommended to test this function at this time.
PLUGGO will automatically adjust itself to accept smaller differences up to 4 mm
difference in tube height. It does this by moving its "de-capper head" out and across and
adjusting for the caps. It is therefore important not to run PLUGGO with tubes whose
caps have already been removed since this could result in tubes being broken.
Four different types of carousels can be used in the standard version off PLUGGO.
