Franke KEP AC Series Installation Manual

DRINKING FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION
For All Universal KEP( )AC Series Drinking Fountains
A. INSPECTION
Inspect the carton and water cooler for evidence of rough handling and concealed damage. Damage claims should be filed
with carrier.
B. TO PUT WATER COOLER AND FOUNTAIN INTO SERVICE
1. NOTE: Provincial and local plumbing codes may prohibit use of saddle taping valves for water line connection in some applica-
tions. All connections must conform to applicable plumbing codes.
2. Locate and install plumbing and electrical service if required, in accordance with the Rough-in Drawing. Filter units have
additional instructions on a label inside the access panel. Read these before installing unit.
3. FLUSH BUILDING WATER SUPPLY LINE BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT.
4. Install unit on the wall hanger. Wall hanger is shipped fastened to the back of the unit.
5. Install a trap in the waste line and a shut off valve in the water supply line. An in-line strainer is furnished in the "Water Sup-
ply" tube. Connect the "Water Supply" tube to the shut off valve. This connection should not be a solder joint or flare connection
to allow access to the strainer for service. To ease removal of the strainer, a sheet metal screw may be lightly threaded into the
open end. When the unit has an internal waste trap, the trap should be wrapped with the insulating tape to prevent sweating. Use
of the 1 3/4" diameter knockout for a waste line is not recommended because of a potential conflict with ADA* toe space clear-
ance requirements. Check your local building code inspector for approval.
6. Rotate the fan blade by hand to see that it is free of obstructions.
7. Check the available power supply against the water cooler data plate to assure the correct electrical service. This drinking water
cooler is intended to be connected to a 20A minimum ground fault circuit interrupting (GFCI) device to meet UL requirements.
Plug power supply cord into wall outlet. The rear most 1 3/8" diameter knockout in the frame bottom is for an externally located
electrical supply. Make sure the knockout hold edge is smooth and free of any burrs. Use of a Heyco bushing #2184 in the
knocked out hole is recommended in order to prevent damage to the service cord and to close up excess opening around the
cord. Route the cord so it does not interfere with ADA* space requirements.
8. To fill cold water tank on water cooler versions, open water supply line shut-off and push any one of the front or side pushbuttons
to allow water to flow to the bubbler. Run water until stream free of bubbles.
9. To Adjust Bubbler:
a) All Pushbutton models are equipped with a Cartridge Regulator. The KEP8AC and KEPAC have a slot in the shelf below the
Pushbuttons. Insert a screwdriver in the slot to adjust regulator. Turn adjustment clockwise to increase stream height. To ac-
cess the KEPV8AC adjustment, remove the Bezel and Button from the front of the cooler.
C. MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance operation required is the removal of dirt and lint from the condenser where used. Inspection should be made at
3-month intervals. Disconnect the power supply cord, then clean the condenser with a small stiff non-wire or vacuum cleaner attach-
ment brush when required. Observance if this procedure will insure adequate air circulation through the condenser so operation is
efficient and economical.
D. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The compressor motor, where used, is equipped with an automatic reset protector which will disconnect the motor from the line in
case of an overload.
E. LUBRICATION
This unit is equipped with a hermetically sealed compressor and requires no additional lubrication. The fan motor, where used, on this
unit seldom needs oiling, but if required, a few drops of SAE 10 oil should be used.
