ATOMIZER POSITIONING
One Electronic Controller can manage up to 50 atom-
izer units per zone (two zones per controller). The pump
on each dilution tank can distribute disinfectant solu-
tion through the system at 125 psi (8.6 bars) per zone.

NSTALLATION
The following recommendations should be observed:
•
At Test Point locations, install a tee fitting with
one end capped using a test plug fitting. See Fig-
ure 15 on page 22.
•
Use the 3/8" (9.5 mm) tubing from the pump to all
main feed tee fittings.
•
If possible, avoid placing the atomizers units more
than 10' (3 metres) apart from each other.
•
For a 50 unit zone, observe a maximum 500' (150
metres) of 3/8" (9.5 mm) tubing.
•
Use the 1/4" (6.4 mm) tubing from the shut-off
valve (off the tee fitting) to the atomizer (misters)
inside the machines (see Figure 7 on page 13).
•
All shut-off valves should be positioned outside
of the machines. This allows uninterrupted ma-
chine operation should the disinfectant system
require shut-off of individual atomizer units (see
Figure 7 on page 13).
•
Avoid sharp bends in the routing of the 3/8" (9.5
mm) tubing. Minimal use of 90° elbow fittings is
recommended. With the addition of each elbow,
there is a corresponding drop in line pressure.
•
Cut the tubing to the required lengths using a util-
ity knife.
•
Use the supplied wall fasteners and attach the tub-
ing to safe and secure wall mounting locations. It
is recommended that two fasteners be used at each
shut-off valve location (i.e. on both shut-off valve
connectors to avoid a twisting motion when oper-
ating the shut-off valve).

ONNECTIONS
Most of the tee fittings and couplers supplied are of
the quick disconnect variety. Simply insert the tubing
fully into the coupler end and a leak proof seal is cre-
ated. See Figure 6 .
To insert tubing into fitting: Grasp the fitting and push
the tubing fully into the coupler end (white ring).
To remove the tubing from the fitting: Grasp the fitting
and hold the white ring in. Then pull the tubing straight
out.
