2.) OPERATION & SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
IMPORTANT – READ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING
START UP:
1.
Turn on water supply from the source to the generator.
2.
OPEN all valves on generator except for the Manual Drain (#19).
3.
Place Main Disconnect Box in ON position and/or Plug In.
4.
Hold in the Lever Handle (D) on the Steam Gun.
5.
Place toggle Switch (#2) in ON position.
•
The Water Solenoid (#7) and Pump (#8) will engage and the chamber will begin
to fill with water. As the water level rises, it will make contact with the (G/D) and
(A) probes, indicating the heaters are safely submerged. At this time the
contactor(s) will engage, supplying power to the heaters, causing steam pressure to
accumulate.
•
The chamber will continue to fill with water until 1 second after the water makes
contact with the (C) probe, causing the Water Solenoid (#7) and Pump (#8) to turn
off.
•
If the contactor(s) still have not engaged at this time, you may need to press the
Safety Reset (#13). If your generator is required to have a Manual Low-Water
Reset (MLWR) (#3), it must be pushed it at this time to engage the contactor(s).
6.
Once generator is full of water, release the Lever Handle (D) on the Steam Gun.
•
Steam pressure will continue to rise until is reaches 85 PSI. At this time, the
pressure control labeled "Control" will cause the contactor(s) to disengage. The
pressure will drop approximately 5-8 PSI until the "Control" causes the
contactor(s) to reengage, causing the pressure to rise again. The contactor(s) will
continue to cycle on and off during operation.
NOTE: Just because generator is up to pressure does not necessarily mean it is up to
temperature. When first starting generator, before using the gun for operation, you
should use the gun to exhaust pressure, allowing the heaters to remain on longer,
thus increasing the temperature inside the chamber and increasing its ability to
recover from loss of steam.
WARNING
gun is not is use.
7.
The generator is now fully operational and will produce steam until it is turned off.
– Steam hose and gun will always be hot while generator is on, even when
