    1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Warning and Cautions Warning NEVER operate equipment near combustible gases/fumes. Do not install or operate WE200 unit near flammable or explosive gases/fumes. Unit is NOT fire or blast resistant. Negligent use could cause a fire/explosion. See “List of Hazardous Substances” (P.50). ALWAYS ground equipment.
  • Page 6 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Warning and Cautions Warning DO NOT adjust pressure reduction valve. The pressure reduction valve has a default water sampling rate of approximately 0.8L/min (base water pressure: 0.30MPa, pressure reduction valve: 0.20MPa, throttle valve: 0.60MPa, water temperature: 20°C without membrane filter), as set at factory before shipping.

    Connect grounding wire (green) from (Grounding Resistance Max. 100Ω) is ground adapter to a ground terminal. required in Japan. Contact a local dealer, electrician, or Yamato Sales office for location-specific electrical requirements. 2. Choose an appropriate installation site. DO NOT install unit: ・on uneven or unstable surfaces...
  • Page 8 2. PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURES Installation Precautions 3. Install in a location free of flammables and explosives. ● Never install near flammables or explosives. This unit is NOT fire or blast resistant. Simply switching the main power switch (ELB) “ON” or “OFF” can produce a spark, which can then be relayed during operation, causing a fire or explosion when near flammable or explosive fluids, chemicals or gases/fumes.
  • Page 9 Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock. Contact a local dealer or Yamato sales office for information about replacing power cable if it becomes damaged.
  • Page 10 2. PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURES Installation Precautions 8. Base water. ● Use tap water as base. ● Never use chemicals or lubricants. Malfunction may result and water quality will be compromised. ● Verify that base water does not contain rust or other contaminants. Contaminated base water not only prevents specification-quality water but may also cause malfunction.
