OLUTIONS HOSE LENGTH - the H-2000/H-3500 hose heater operates with up to 310 feet of hose. At 310 feet, the hose temperature should rise approximately 120° F in 40 minutes. Hose lengths in excess of 310 feet will reduce this capability.
MAY DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT AND WOULD CREATE A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF INJURY TO THE OPERATOR HOSE HEAT CONTROL UNIT-the three heat control units on the H-2000/H-3500 are directly interchangeable with one another. To determine if the control unit is operating correctly, with power OFF, swap the suspected control with one known to be good.
Model H-2000/H-3500 Proportioning Unit continued operation of the hose heating system in case of signal or SSR failure. To convert to manual control, proceed as follows: a) With power OFF, remove the terminal jumper strip conveniently located on the heat sink and install it across terminals #1 and #2 on the hose heat SSR.

Operating Manual Troubleshooting Try the recommended solutions in the order given for each problem to avoid unnecessary repairs. Also, determine that all circuit breakers, switches, and controls and controls are properly set before assuming there is a problem. Problems Solutions Proportioning pump does not hold pressure when stalled.

Cavitation are as follows: a) The transfer pump cannot handle the supply requirement or is malfunctioning. The Gusmer 2:1 Transfer Pump is recommended for use with the H-2000/H- 3500. Also recommended is a minimum of three-quarter inch diameter supply hose as short as practical.
Operating Manual Troubleshooting d) An inlet valve ball and/or a leaking seat gasket that does not properly seat will permit some of the proportioned material to flow back towards the supply drum. When this happens, the proportioning pump will not pump the proper volume of material during the discharged stroke and an off-ratio condition will result.
Model H-2000/H-3500 Proportioning Unit indication to the operator of over-pressure. This is not a lockout type of system and when the pressure bleeds off below approximately 2200 psi / 3700 psi the system will be restored to normal operation; however, the cause of the over pressure should be determined and corrected.
Operating Manual Troubleshooting OLUTIONS Figure 27. Power Contactor POWER CONTACTOR- A power contactor set to trip when the motor draws too much current protects the electric motor. To restore the motor to operation, allow it to cool and with power OFF, depress the reset button. It is also important to determine the cause of the trip.

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY Disassemble and clean both proportioning pumps annually. Inspect the pistons and cylinder for mars or scratches, which may cause leakage or damage to packings. Gusmer also recommends replacing the piston and cylinder packings, expanders, and packing springs on an annual basis as a preventative maintenance precaution. (Refer to the Proportioning Pump Assembly section of the Parts I.D.
ALLOW HEATER TO COOL TO AVOID BODILY INJURY FROM HOT FLUID OR HOT METAL The sheath on the H-2000 and H-3500 heating rods are made from a special alloy designed to be resistant to corrosion and erosion. However, eventually the service life of the rod will be reached and if the sheath should fail, fluid under pressure will leak into the heating element.
Operating Manual Maintenance THERMOCOUPLE- The thermocouple includes the compression nut and ferrule, and once locked in place the ferrule becomes a permanent part of the thermocouple and cannot be relocated or removed. The location of the thermocouple is critical to the operation of the heater and requires proper positioning before tightening the compression nut.
