Chapter 2: Installation Instructions
Introduction
This section describes the installation and wiring of a standard Ram-Set controller, output module and transducer. Changes to
these instructions should be made as necessary if special options and/or equipment are used.
The controller and output module should be installed in an area free of water spray, corrosive gases, fl ying chips or other foreign
matter. The operating temperature should be between 32 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit, with less than 95% relative humidity.
2.1 Mechanical Installation
Mounting the Transducer
The proper mounting of the Ram-Set transducer assembly is critical to ensure the systems' accuracy. A universal transducer
mounting and cable termination kit can be provided with each system. The kit contains all hardware needed to complete
mounting. When designing your own LDT mounting brackets, see Drawing D-0211000-D.
Using existing press controls, jog ram up to its maximum up position. Bypass up safety limit switch if necessary. Refer to
Drawing D-0211000-D 1996 Ram-Set Transducer Installation for the following installation instructions.
Mounting steps:
1. Brackets for both the transducer and magnet assembly should be fabricated at
time of installation. The brackets should be slotted as shown in the transducer installation drawing.
The transducer bracket should be mounted to a fi xed member of the slide, and the magnet assembly bracket to a
movable portion of the slide. If mounting to a round surface, use v-block construction on the brackets.
It is important to note the following dimensional minimum requirements when designing the brackets:
A. An 8" minimum clearance is required from the bottom of the crown to the
top of the transducer mounting bracket (at the point of transducer connection), when the press is at top
dead center.
B. A 2.625" minimum gap is needed between the top of the transducer mounting
bracket and the top of the magnet assembly bracket.
C. Make sure the transducer guide tube has clearance when the slide adjustment
is fully down.
D. A tolerance of .001" per foot must be held between the side of the magnet
assembly bracket and an imaginary perpendicular line intersecting the guide tube.
D. A tolerance of .001" per foot must be held between the side of the magnet
assembly bracket and an imaginary perpendicular line intersecting the guide tube.
E. Check all other points for possible obstructions. The brackets should be
affi xed to the press with 3/8-16 socket head cap screws.
2. Attach the taping plate for weld block anchor on or near the transducer mounting
bracket. The mating half with elbow assembly will act as a strain relief for the transducer cable.
