4.1 Installation
4.1.1 Room Requirements
The SF-1020i flowbench should be placed in a relatively open area, free from loose debris such as metal
filings or chips from machining tools. The flowbench, in essence, is a giant vacuum cleaner that will ingest
rags, papers, and anything nearby that is not secured.
Space the flowbench with a minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm) on all sides from any equipment or walls.
A power distribution box with a disconnect switch and plug receptacle (supplied by others) should be
located near the flowbench. Superflow recommends using twist-lock connectors. The power requirements
for the SF-1020i can be either 480 VAC, 40A, three-phase, 50 or 60 hz or 380 VAC, 40A, three-phase,
50 or 60 hz. The power source must be protected with the appropriate sized fuse or circuit breaker. The
SF-1020i has internal circuit breakers for the electronics but no internal over-current protection for the
motor.
If the flowbench is in a small room and the exhaust of the bench is also vented into the same room, after a
while, the flowbench may heat the area. Conditioning the air for temperature or humidity is not necessary
but would be more comfortable for the operators.
4.1.2 Unpacking
1.
The SuperFlow SF-1020i flowbench is shipped in a carton.
•
Carefully remove the flowbench from its shipping carton
• Place it on a level surface
2. Other boxes or cartons may also be shipped that contain accessories and options provided with the
flowbench.
4.1.3 Electrical
1. Wire an appropriate sized power cord (supplied
by others) to main incoming power connections
located behind right side panel.
2. Utilize a twist-lock plug connector (supplied by
others) on opposite end of the power cord to
connect SF-1020i flowbench to properly sized
power source. Ensure the main power circuit
is
OFF
before connecting the flowbench power
cord to the power source.
• Refer to "4.1.1 Room Requirements" above
and supplied wiring schematic.
Before installation, be sure the main
voltage and current type specified
in the identification plate match the
supply voltage and current type
at the place of use, and ensure the
circuit being used is adequately
protected.
!
WARNING
Refer to your local electrical code for the proper
power cord size and connector type.
