Initial Start-Up Of The Machine; Initial Checks - GIRBAU ED460 Installation Instructions Manual

9. INITIAL START-UP OF THE MACHINE

CAUTION!
THE OPERATIONS IN THIS CHAPTER MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORISED TECHNICAL SERVICES.
It is highly recommended to have the following measuring devices available to monitor the machine
during the initial start-up:
For all dryer models:
 Multimeter. Reading range: from 0 to 1,000 VAC.
 Clamp ammeter. Reading range: higher than 300 AAC.
 Pressure gauge. Capable of measuring pressure and suction.
For dryer models with gas-heating:
Also necessary, in addition to the above:
 Gas analyser. Suitable for the analysis required to comply with the legislation in the country where the
machine is installed.

9.1. Initial checks

CAUTION!
BEFORE STARTING UP THE MACHINE, REMOVE ALL THE ACCESSORIES DELIVERED STORED INSIDE
THE DRUM.
 Check the levelling and stability of the machine, all four feet must be in contact with the floor.
 Check that all the machine's covers are fitted and secured correctly.
 Check that the installation details relating to the sources of energy (electric or gas) match those on the
machine's specification nameplate.
 Check that the vents and extraction ducts are constructed as shown in Chapters 3 and 4 of this manual.
 Open the manual valve for the gas supply circuit (machines with gas heating).
 Check that the gas pressure is correct as it enters the machine (machines with gas heating).
 Connect the breaker switch.
 Start up the machine and select a program with a high temperature (approx. 90 ºC / 190 ºF) that will cause
the heating system to turn on (see the operating instructions in the corresponding Operating Instruction
Manual).
 Check that the heating system is connected properly.
 After the start of the program, and before the machine reaches room temperature, check that the pressure in
the exhaust duct complies with the maximum pressure data stipulated in the table in Section 4.8. (See the
measurement conditions in the same section.)
 Machines with gas heating: Check through the rear cover that the burner lights up, and that the flame is blue,
stable and uniform. If this is not the case, stop the drying program immediately.
 All models: Check that the power consumption is in agreement with the values set out in the tables in Chapter
4.
 Stop the machine from operating by pressing the
heating system has been disconnected. On machines with gas heating, check that the burner flame is
completely extinguished.
 Check that the drying air output adjustment flap is swinging freely.
 If any anomaly is detected, stop the dryer immediately, disconnect the power supply and the gas input and
inspect the installation.
