1.5 Intelligent Soft Start:
To maximize performance and safety, your T26 is equipped with an advanced soft start
system (do not mix up with the EPR system). Soft start is used to reduce the “crack” noise,
created during the initial burst of smoke. The “crack” noise is caused by the pump pressure
overcoming the incredible back pressure of the heat exchanger. The soft start electronics
gradually powers the pump, eliminating this crack and ensuring a quieter and smoother
operational level following initial start up. It will also increase the lifetime of the internal
components, as high pressure peak loads on pumps, piping and couplings are reduced.
The T26 will always start the pumps at 20%. The electronics will slowly increase (or
decrease) the pump speed to the selected output level. At full output (100%) selected, the soft
start will start the pumps at 20%, and increase the speed during 6.4 seconds to 100%. The
maximum soft start time is therefore 6.4 seconds. At selected outputs below 100%, the soft
start time interval will be shorter.
Please note: The maximum pump speed is always controlled by the EPR system. If the
temperature is too low for the selected output, the EPR will automatically reduce the pump
speed. This is a fully automatic system, controlled by the processor, and cannot (and should
not) be disabled or modified by the user.
2. Unpacking:
The Live T26 package contains:
•
One machine.
•
One canister metal fitting with fluid suction pipe and floatchamber.
•
One manual.
•
Please note, no fluid is included.
•
Save the carton and packing material for future use.
•
If the machine needs to be transported, ship in the original box, and place it on a small pallet.
Use stripes to fix it to the pallet. It is a cheap and simple way to avoid damage during
transport.
3. Safety precautions:
•
Smoke residues and fluid spillage may be dangerous. A slippery surface can cause
serious personal injury! ALWAYS check surfaces before, during and after the use of
the machine.
•
Do NOT install this machine directly over an audience.
•
Do NOT point the discharge directly into an audience.
•
Make sure the area in which this product is to be used is well ventilated.
•
Do NOT operate near flammable materials or fire.
•
Do NOT place hands or face near heat exchanger or output during operation. NOTE:
There might be puffs of smoke from the output when machine is not operating.
•
Do NOT expose to rain or moisture.
•
Connect to mains outlet with earth. Use a cable with earth. Check for correct voltage
