Part 1: Installation
Siting
The 505XY should be situated on a flat surface and is fitted with adjustable
feet to ensure that the unit can be levelled. Adequate area must be given to
allow tubing to pass from the 505L pumphead to the dispensing head of the
robot without kinking or unnecessary bends.
Electrical connection
The 505XY operates on single phase mains electricity only. It is fitted with a
mains voltage selector which must be set to either 120V for 100-120V
50/60Hz supplies or 240V for 220-240V 50/60Hz supplies.
The on/off switch of the 505XY is located at the mains socket as is the fuse.
A spare fuse is incorporated in the fuse holder and should be replaced with
the same value of fuse if used.
A mains cable fitted with a moulded plug is supplied with the 505XY, but if
another plug is to be fitted, the colour coding of the mains lead must be
observed.
The mains cable for 220-240V supplies is coded so that the live lead is
coloured brown, the neutral lead is coloured blue, and the earth lead is
coloured green and yellow.
The mains cable for 100-120V supplies is coded so that the live lead is
coloured black, the neutral lead is coloured white, and the earth lead is
coloured green.
Failure to
operate
Should the robot fail to operate, check that mains electricity is available at
the unit, that the voltage selector switch is in the correct position and that the
mains fuse is in tact.
There are dangerous voltages (at mains potential) inside the unit. If
access is required, isolate the pump from the mains before removing
the cover.
Interfacing with the 505Di
The 505XY has four connector/sockets on the rear panel.
· Mains socket
· 505Disocket
· RS 232 connector
· Floatswitch socket

· Ensure that the voltage selector, found on the underside of the unit, is
switched to the appropriate voltage - either 120V for 110V-120V
operation, or 240V for 220-240V operation.
· Plug the mains power lead into mains socket at rear of unit.
· Level the robot using the adjustable feet.
· Connect the interface lead into socket at rear of unit marked 505Di
socket. Connect the other end into the 25 pin Dee connector on the rear
panel of the 505Di using the interface lead provided, Watson-Marlow part
number 059.7021.000.

If the calculated fill area exceeds the area the XY robot can cover then
display will call:
I N V A L I D S T A R TO RE N D
P O I N T S - R E S E TL I M I T S
This can be a result of changing the START point when the END is near the
left hand limit or selecting a honeycomb pattern which has a fill point outside
the available fill area.
If the set START point is to the left of the END point the display will call:
I N V A L I D S T A R T / F I N I S H
P O I N T S - R E S E TL I M I T S
Reset so that the START point is to the right of the END point.
