Safety Precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Please be sure the following instructions are understood thoroughly BEFORE operating the system. Consult our representative in your area or call the factory to resolve the items you do not understand. This equipment can generate: A high pressure fluid that can penetrate the skin and cause severe internal injury! A hot fluid which can severely burn the body.

The Central How it works Cleaning System Figure 2 Optional The Central Cleaning System Pressurized water is piped from the pressure reserve tank (1) to desired cleaning locations within the plant. As this water is used, pressure within the reserve tank drops. An electrical pressure switch (2) senses this drop and energizes the automatic water valve (3) and the stabilizer pump (4) which sends cold water through the water inlet line to supply the HelioPAC (5).

Before actually connecting supply lines, thoroughly flush them to remove any debris that may plug orifices within the system. Steam Supply The HelioJET C-15 requires a 1-1/4” dedicated steam supply line. Install a manual shut-off valve, steam strainer, pressure gauge, and condensate trap within two feet of the system (see pg. 7).

Two Adjustments There are two adjustments on your HelioJET C-15. You will make them during the initial calibration and start-up procedure in the next section. Please refer to pages 7 and 12 to familiarize yourself with the location of the handwheel adjustment, high-low pressure switch, start-up vacuum gauge, and the operating pressure gauge.

Calibration is now complete and the HelioJET is ready for use. Simply begin using the spray guns or other spray devices that are supplied by the HelioJET C-15. The HelioJET will cycle on and off automatically as it is used.

Trouble Shooting Problem The system starts and runs fine, but does not deliver the discharge temperature anticipated. Solution Before start-up, the reserve tank is at ambient temperature. It takes a little time to rise to full temperature. For instance, after the first cycle, the discharge thermometer may read 140-150°F and you are expecting 180°F.

D. Is your discharge piping undersized? See Installation section. E. Is it possible that your lines have developed some mineral or other type of build-up that may be creating a flow restriction? Contact HelioJET if you are unable to resolve this problem. Problem Pressurized air discharges from the spray gun nozzle when in use.
Preventative Maintenance After the HelioJET is installed and adjusted properly, it is recommended that a monthly inspection be performed to verify that the pressure switch and handwheel settings have not been changed. If necessary, reset according to the initial calibration and start-up section of this manual.

Steam Valve Does steam leak through the overflow drain, even when the C-15 is not being used? If so, replace the steam valve seat. Steam Valve Pilot Does air continuously leak from the solenoid, even when the system is not running? If so, replace the pilot assembly. Start-up Vacuum Reading Is the start-up vacuum gauge working consistently (pg.

the overflow check valve (pg. 20, item 11). If the check valve does not seat properly it will allow an excess amount of air to enter the system. This can disrupt the reading on the vacuum gauge. If the check valve proves to be in good working order, replace the gauge.

How to Recharge the Reserve Tank If the reserve tank air cushion is lost, it will be necessary to replenish it. To do this, first, be sure that the C-15 power supply is off and disconnected, and that the steam and water supply valves are closed. Second, open the 2” discharge ball valve that supplies pressurized hot water to your plant.
