2.O1 Preliminary Tasks
It is highly recommended to visit the site well before installation, to familiarize yourself with the physical layout of the laundry,
the machines present and their characteristics, the laundry products in use, and how any current laundry dosing system is
being employed.
Pay attention to the entire laundry system, its requirements and its schedules, to ensure a smooth transition to, and
installation of, your Dositec laundry dosing system.
Learn the operations of all the washers, as well as the products they use, and why. Determine the capacities of the machines
and what is involved in programming their signals.
Measure the distance between where the Dositec main panel will be installed and the location of the Distribution Manifold(s).
Determine where the communication boxes will be installed for each washer, as well as the lengths of 4-conductor cable
needed to daisy-chain them back to the main panel, and the lengths of 10-conductor cable from each communication box to
each washer’s signal terminals. Identify the voltage each washer is using for it’s signals. Determine how many conductors you
need for connecting the main panel and the distribution manifold(s) and the distance for that connection.
Measure the lengths of chemical delivery hose that will be needed to run from the main panel to the distribution manifold(s),
from the distribution manifold(s) to the washers, and back to the Calibration vase. Identify how the hoses will be routed, and
what hardware will be required to accomplish that scheme. Identify where the bulk chemicals will be placed and the lengths
of hose needed to connect them to the Collection Manifold of the main panel. Calculate how many hose clamps will be
necessary to complete the installation.
It is recommended to order the specific installation kit for the system being installed, which is available from Hydro Systems. If
the mounting hardware is obtained from local providers, all items should be the same as the ones listed in the kit.
Schedule an orderly transition from any previous dosing system in use, and investigate if any portions of that system must
be removed before the installation of the Dositec system. In case a previous unit is already working in the site, all the existing
elements must never interfere with the new installation.
2.O2 Panel Mounting
•
In order to make the unit work correctly, it must be placed on a clear
and flat wall.
•
The system must be placed at such a height that the screen must be
easily manipulated.
•
The panel’s mounting dimensions will be
approximately
27.9 in by
45.25 in (709 mm by 1150 mm) but may vary slightly, so use the actual
panel being installed as a template. To use the supplied mounting
hardware, drill four 5/16 in (8 mm) holes at the locations indicated.
•
Insert the included fittings.
•
Place the unit on the wall and use the included screws and mounting
hardware to hang the system.
2.O3 Peripheral Elements
After placing the unit, it is necessary to mount the rest of the elements:
Distributor:
This element is the responsible for diverting the products to the corresponding washer extractor. Only one
machine is attended while the others are queued. It is recommended to set the distributor at a position equidistant from the
washer extractors.
Calibration Vase:
Since this vase is used for dosage calibration, it should be installed on the wall near the main panel.
Please note the vase is connected by a hose to the distribution manifold. Make provision for draining the calibration vase and
for overflow from the vent fitting.
Communication Boxes
(machine signal interfaces): These elements are used to get the signals from the machines so they
can be acquired by the unit. There must be one box per washer extractor. The recommended position is a clear place on the
wall behind every machine.
Note: Indicated Measurements are Approximate!
