Setup
NOTICE
Proper system setup, start up, and shutdown procedures are critical to electrical equip- ment reliability. The following procedures ensure steady voltage. Failure to follow these procedures will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment and void the warranty.
1.Locate Reactor
a.Locate Reactor on a level surface. See Dimensions, page 48, for clearance and mounting hole dimensions.
b.Do not expose Reactor to rain.
NOTICE
To prevent damage from tipping over and fall- ing, proper care needs to be taken when lift- ing the Reactor. Bolt Reactor to original shipping pallet, to keep stable, before lifting.
c.Use the casters to move Reactor to a fixed location, or bolt to shipping pallet and move with forklift.
d.To mount on a truck bed or trailer, remove casters and bolt directly to truck or trailer bed. See page 48.
2. General equipment guidelines
•Determine the correct size generator. Using the correct size generator and proper air compressor will enable the proportioner to run at a nearly constant RPM. Failure to do so will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment. Ensure the generator matches the voltage and phase of the proportioner.
Use the following procedure to determine the correct size generator.
a.List system components that use peak load requirements in watts.
b.Add the wattage required by the system components.
c.Perform the following equation: Total watts x 1.25 = kVA (kilo-
d.Select a generator size that is equal to or greater than the determined kVA.
•Use proportioner power cords that meet or exceed the requirements listed in Table 2. Failure to do so will cause voltage fluctua- tions that can damage electrical equip- ment.
•Use an air compressor with constant speed head unloading devices. Direct online air compressors that start and stop during a job will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
