VERIFY YOUR SOFT TOUCH SENSOR BOARD IS CORRECT
The SOFT TOUCH sensor board can be configured in several ways. Before turning power
on, check to be sure that the three switches are in the MFDC (up) position.

SOFT TOUCH PINCH-POINT SAFETY SYSTEM
FOR INSTALLATION ON PNEUMATIC RIVETING MACHINES
HOW THE SYSTEM OPERATES:
When the voltage from the foot switch goes HIGH, this voltage goes to the 9280-TS7
SOFT TOUCH detection board, terminal #9.
The output terminal #11 (SVL) goes HIGH to turn on solenoid valve SVL.
This closes the riveting mandrel under low force using low air pressure on the forward
port of the riveter air cylinder.
The 9280-TS7 board checks input at terminals #4 and #5 to see if the voltage signal
drops a minimum value indicating that the riveting mandrel have made contact on a
conducting material (continuity detected).
If this contact is NOT sensed within the maximum time setting on the board’s DIPswitches*,
the output terminal #11 (SVL) will go LOW and drop out solenoid valve SVL to open the
riveting mandrel.
If this contact IS sensed within the maximum time setting:
• Terminal #11 (SVL) will continue to be HIGH
• Terminal #13 (SVH) will go HIGH
• Solenoid valve SVH will be turned ON to start high riveting mandrel pressure
*The maximum time the system uses for
detecting continuity is the TOTAL of the four
switches set on the DIPswitch block on the upper
left corner of the sensor board. Set it for about
1.5X the maximum time it takes to close the
mandrel on the part.
BLANK TIME: 50% of the DETECT TIME selected
will be used by the sensor board to block reaction
to continuity during this time. For example, if
the 1 and 0.5 DIPswitch paddles are closed
(1.5 second selection), continuity in the first 3/4
seconds will not turn on the full force.

HOSE CONNECTIONS
Note: If the riveting machine has an existing solenoid valve or pneumatic foot
switch, this system REPLACES these components.
Connect to point between air filter/
water trap and input to existing
pressure regulator.
Connect to air cylinder port that
opens the riveting mandrel. If cylinder
is spring return, install a 1/2” plug
into this bulkhead.
Connect to point after existing
airline lubricator.
Install two exhaust filters, provided with this system, into the two bottom ports.
Connect to air cylinder port that closes
the riveting mandrel.

PREPARING RIVETER
Tool Bar Type Mounting
The tooling bar must be electronically isolated from the riveter frame.
Counterbore the two screw pockets in the tooling bar so that they will clear the new
phenolic tubing, phenolic washers, and steel washers.
Drill and tap a hole in the tooling bar for connection to one of the blue wires from the
SOFT TOUCH system.

PREPARING RIVETER
Direct Tool Mounting Type
The lower tooling must be electronically isolated from the riveter frame.
Bore out hole in bottom of riveter and install phenolic or nylon sleeve and washers.
Drill and tap a hole in the frame and install a crimp terminal with one wire as shown.
Install a copper or brass terminal pad as shown and connect the other blue wire.
10 | SOFT TOUCH FOR PNEUMATIC RIVETERS
CONNECTING SIGNAL PICKUP WIRES:
1. Connect one of the blue wires from the SOFT TOUCH cabinet to a point on the
riveter frame.
2. Connect the second blue wire to the lower tool holding bar.
Connect two blue wires from the soft touch
enclosure to these two points
