Setup
NOTICE
Proper system setup, startup, and shutdown pro- cedures are critical to electrical equipment reliabil- ity. The following procedures ensure steady voltage. Failure to follow these procedures will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electri- cal equipment and void the warranty.
1.Locate Reactor
a.Locate Reactor on a level surface. See Dimen- sions, page 39, for clearance and mounting hole dimensions.
b.Do not expose Reactor to rain.
NOTICE
Bolt Reactor to original shipping pallet before lifting.
c.Use the casters to move Reactor to a fixed loca- tion, or bolt to shipping pallet and move with forklift.
d.To mount on a truck bed or tailer, remove cast- ers and bolt directly to truck or trailer bed. See page 39.
Setup
2.General equipment guidelines
•Determine the correct size generator. Using the cor- rect 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 cor- rect size generator.
a.List system components that use peak load requirements in watts.
b.Add the wattage required by the system compo- nents.
c.Perform the following equation:
Total watts x 1.25 = kVA
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 fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
•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.
•Maintain and inspect the generator, air compressor, and other equipment per the manufacturer recom- mendations to avoid an unexpected shutdown. Unexpected equipment shutdown will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
•Use a wall power supply with enough current to meet system requirements. Failure to do so will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electri- cal equipment.
