Equipment Setup

GENERAL

When placing the unit into service, pay attention to the following guidelines:

•	Make sure power to the unit is off.
•	Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

•Screwdriver

•Drill with bits

•Strap wrench

(up to 6” diameter)

•Tape measure

•Two gallon bucket

•Fresh 5 1/4% liq- uid chlorine bleach (such as Clorox®)

•Adjustable wrenches

•Pipe wrenches

•Level

•Pipe dope or Teflon® tape

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

ELECTRICAL

Ensure that the line voltage corresponds to the stated voltage on the units specification label. Make sure that the plug on the power cord from the system and the outlet match. For proper operation, and to ensure the highest quality water from the system, make sure that the system is not connected to a switched electrical outlet.

PLUMBING

NOTE: This unit is designed to use tap water not to exceed 104°F (40°C).

The UF-420 and UF-440 systems use the following con- nections (Figure 1):

•	Water Inlet	3/4” NPT
•	Permeate (Product Water)	3/4” NPT
•	Drain	3/4” NPT

When making a plumbing connection to the system, remember to use a back-up wrench on the supporting plumbing. Always use a good quality, approved, pipe sealant or Teflon® tape on pipe threads. Be careful not to get the pipe sealant inside the pipe when making the connections.

Do not over-tighten the connections. It is recommend- ed that plastic fittings be used when connecting to the

CAUTION

This equipment is to be installed to comply with the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials and Code Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

CAUTION

Water pressure must not exceed a membrane burst pressure of 7 bar (100 psi). To reduce water pressure, install a water pressure regulator and set water pressure to suit application. Note that the trans membrane pressure must be .5 - 2.5 bar (7 - 36 psi).

Locating and Mounting the system

Consider these points before mounting the system:

•Note the location of the water supply, drain, and an appropriate electrical outlet when choosing a mounting location.

•Remember to allow for access to the timer/ programmer controls.

•Do not mount the system above any electrical equipment, or above items that may be damaged if they get wet.
