ment while in operaon.
• Keep all guards and safety devices in place. Do not operate
this equipment with guards removed or damaged.
• Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts.
• Always stop the machine and isolate compressed air and
electrical services to carry out servicing.
• Check machine before starng for worn or damaged parts.
Check for signs of loose nuts and bolts etc.
• If machine is le unaended, ensure that unauthorized use is
prevented. Never leave the machine unaended while in
use.
• Consider the use of safety barriers, especially when used in
public places, observe all statutory requirements for working
environments.
• Beware of pinch points involved with rotang components,
• Beware of hot surfaces, machine uses compressed air.

• When operang machine always wear appropriate safety
clothing, ear and eye protecon, hard hat, safety shoes and
leather gloves. The machine operates with compressed air at
up to 220 PSI (15 Bar).
• Prior to installaon ensure the tube route is connected
properly.
• Beware of exposed electrical contacts. Do not touch, or allow
metal objects to come into contact.
• Machine may cause addional re hazard if involved in an
exisng re due to compressed air.
• The machine must be operated on rm ground.
• Stay clear of pressurized airline and tube.
• Only use the machine for its intended purpose, to retrieve
ber blow air in the far end.
• The compressed air supply must not be allowed to enter the
air chamber before the lid has been securely ghtened.
• Ensure the ber exits easily from the pan. Place the pan a
sucient distance to allow the operator me to react should
the ber become tangled.
• The cable should enter the machine in a clean and dry condi-
on.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DAM-
AGE TO THE BLOWN FIBER.

If a power supply is used and the connecng plug on the power
lead to the generator / (or supply) is unsuitable and requires re-
placement, the new plug must be correctly connected observing
the color codes as below.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO ENSURE THAT THE
CONNECTIONS MEET THE ELECTRICAL REGULATIONS FOR THE
RELEVANT COUNTRY.
The Accelair 2 machine itself runs o a 24V supply connected via
a Binder Series 430 Socket. Should the connecng plug need re-
placement the Red wire is posive (+ve) (Pin 1) and the Black
wire is negave (-ve) (Pin 3), pin 2 is unused.

mac device, using pressurized air to project ber at high ve-
locies. Please observe the following precauons when oper-
ang the Blowing Machine:-
• Compressed air can cause ying debris. This could cause
personal injury. Always wear personal protecve equip-
ment.
• Ensure no personnel are in the manhole at the far end of
the ber run. Severe personal injury may result.
• Never open the machine when pressurized.
• Only authorized, fully trained personnel should operate the
air compressor.

2. CRITICAL POINTS THAT DRAMATICALLY AFFECT
THE OPERATION OF THE BLOWN FIBER BLOWING
MACHINE
• Cord seals in air chamber correctly ed to provide good
sealing.
• Correct blowing plates ed.
• Tube fully connected and pressure-tested.
• Tube connecng ngs are suitable for operang at com-
pressor supply pressure.
• Accelair 2 lid securely ghtened.
• Compressor capacity is suitable for size of tube being used.
• Fiber pan must be close to the machine, the ber should
leave the pan freely and enter the machine horizontally.
• Air chamber, drive wheel, blown ber must be clean and
free from debris, glass beads, sludge, dirt, water and lubri-
cant.
• The ber must be hand guided into the machine.
• Ensure the compressed air supply is not applied to the ber
unl approximately 30 meters of ber has been installed or
the machine begins to slow down.
• The compressed air moisture content needs to be carefully
controlled, it should be dry enough to prevent moisture
forming in the tubes yet not so dry to cause a stac build
up – GMP Products recommend the use of an air dryer with
a bypass.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Accelair 2 Fiber Blowing Machine has been developed to
provide a simple to use and reliable ber blowing soluon. The
unit is designed to t a ber range up to 3mm diameter, thereby
providing the complete range of blown ber installaon solu-
ons from one machine.
The Accelair 2 is a compact integrated ber blowing machine
beneng from full automaon and ber management; sophis-
cated ber protecon is implemented to ensure the ber me-
chanical and opcal integrity is maintained. The machine only
requires a single 24V D.C. electrical supply and compressed air to
operate.
GMP has designed a range of accessories aimed at providing the
complete soluon to blown ber installaon.
