6. Installation Instructions
General Installation Instructions:
SC 40RT is designed to be installed in a
vertical upright position. However, the machine may operate horizontally or in
any desired position according to order configurations. The gun unit is tailor-
made for each specific tank in respect to size of nozzle, length of gun and
connection.
Supply Line:
It is recommended to install a filter in the supply line in order
to avoid large particles lodging inside the machine. All supply lines should be
flushed to remove dirt and particles before connecting the machine to the
system. Scanjet will not take any responsibility for rough dirt and particles in the
supply line, causing malfunction to the machine.
Cleaning Media:
Only media compatible with the materials listed on the
reference list of parts for your model should be used, see “4. Technical Data”
on page 7. Regarding passivation, read chapter “7.5. Pickling / Passivation
Procedure” on page 16.
After Use Cleaning:
Depending on the type of cleaning that is being performed
and the type of cleaning solution used, a procedure for after use flushing of the
cleaning system should be developed for your application. In general, a fresh
water flush is recommended after each cleaning.
Pressure:
Hydraulic shocks may damage the system. In order to avoid shocks
increase pressure gradually from 0 to maximum operating pressure over 5-7
seconds. Do not exceed 12 Bar (175 PSI) inlet pressure. Higher pressure in
combination with higher flow rates will increase consumption of wear parts.
WARNING: If the machine is
used in potentially explosive
atmospheres
then tapes or joint sealing compounds, which
are electrical insulators, must not be used on threads or
joints, unless an electrical connection is otherwise estab-
lished to ensure an effective grounding. In addition, connec-
tion pipe work must be electrically conductive and ground-
ed to the tank structure. This is important in order to avoid
any build up of static electricity in the machine.
