Before installing the melter, ensure that the melter will not be overloaded and
that the plant's electrical service is rated to handle the power required by the
melter and the hoses and guns that you plan to use.
Refer to Appendix A, Calculating Melter Power Requirements, for information
about how to calculate the maximum allowable hose lengths and gun
wattages that can be used in your manufacturing application.
WARNING! Risk of electrocution! Install a lockable power disconnect switch
between the electrical service and the melter. Failure to install or properly
use the disconnect switch when servicing the melter can result in personal
injury, including death.
AltaBlue TT melters are cooled by forced air. Air is drawn in through the
ventilation fan and is exhausted out of the ventilation slots on the side of the
melter.
CAUTION! Do not block the fan air intake openings or the exhaust ventilation
slots.
Consider the following additional factors when determining where to install
the melter.
S
The maximum distance between the melter and each gun is dictated by
the power requirement of each hose. Refer to Appendix A, Calculating
Melter Power Requirements, for information about how to determine the
maximum allowable length.

The operator must be able to safely reach the control panel and
accurately monitor the control panel indicators.
S
The operator must be able to safely observe the level of hot melt inside
the tank.
