wiring procedure for using a 230VOLT Master Touch
with foot controller
Parts Required
1.1x Male plug with a cover that will accept the electrical cords of the master touch power unit and the foot controller through asingle wire hole
2.1x wire Nut to connect the two black wires together
Procedure:
1.Cut existing plugs from the power cords of the Mastertouch Power Unit and the Foot controller
2.Slide both cords through the plug cover and strip insulation from wire ends
3.connect the black wires from the Master Touch Power Unit and the foot controller using the wire nut
4.Attach the green wires from Mastertouch Power unit to "Brass" terminal of plug,and the white wire from the foot controller to the"Silver" terminal of the plug
5.Attach the greenwires from the Master Touch Power Unit,and the foot controller the Ground terminal of the plug
6.fold black wires into plug cover and attach plug cover to plug base Slide voltage switch to 230VOLT and change fuse to a 1/4 amp.Insert assembled plug into a wall outlet and activate Master Touch Power Unit by using the rocker switch on the front panel,The switch will only light up when the foot controller is depressed indicating power is on and that the tip is heating.you can now turn your Mastertouch Power unit on and off with the foot controller freeing your hands for other more importand tasks
Master Touch installation and Operation
The kerr master touch operates on either 115 v or 230v which can be selected from a switch on the back panel you must change the fuse when switching voltage use a 1/2 amp fuse at 115V and a 1/4 amp fuse at 230V.The unit will operate on 60 or 50 cycles,with no adjustment needed.to operate the unit on a 230V setting .it will be neces-sary to change the power plug or use an adapter plug Plug the Master Touch Handpiece into the output connector on the front panel of the face of the power unit is used to turn the unit on the switch lights to indicate that power is on and that the tip is heating
!Warning When power light is on heating tip may be hot enough to burnskin The masterTouch can be adjusted to provide a full range of heat temperatures with one easy control. the temperature control knob allows continuous selection of the desired temperaturetemperature will also var depengding on which tip is used ,Larger tips require a higher setting.see below chart for selecting the correct temperature for each wire gauge (tip size)
moving the knob setting by one number will change tip temperature by
about 100F/38c.as varuiys waxes have different melting points ,you
will need to experiment to find the best setting with the tip you are
using and wax that you are working with. the optional foot control
(item no 21870),allows you to bump temperatuer up or down by
switching the unit on or off until you have reached the desired
effect settings 1 to 4 are suggested for tip sizes 22. 24 and 28
Settings 6 to 10 will provide maximum heat for the 20 gauge tip highr
knob settings will give a higher temperature
when using the optional foot control first plug the power unit into
the piggy back plug,and then into a wall outlet activate the unit with
the power switch the switch will only light up when the foot control
is depressed indicating power is on you can now regulate your hands
for other more important and creative tasks
Position the temperature control knob in the same manner as
before.the foot control will deliver immediate heat to the tips,when
released ,the tips will cool rapidly . Readjustment may be necessary
for the desired effect
Working precautions
1.smoking may occur when working with certain waxes this indicates thetip is too hot
2.when inseting the,align index line on tip with line to handle andpush tip straight until tip is seated
3.to remove grab tip at grooved area and pull straight out
4.while power is on,the tip will heat up regardess of knob setting
5.TO Prevent fire hazards never leave unit unattended while on do notoperate around flammable liquids,explosive gasses of combustible
materials
