Appendix B - Power Requirements
System Power Requirement Calculation - D Series Units
WARNING! Calculate all power requirements, as stated below, before hooking up power. OTHERWISE,
DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR THE CIRCUIT
COULD OCCUR.
Power requirements for the D10/D16 System (unit, hoses and guns) must be calculated before hooking up power, to
verify that the hoses and guns do not exceed the power rating for the D Series unit. Personnel injury, as well as
serious equipment damage, can result from overloading the system.
This calculation will depend on the following two factors:
• The wattage for any hose/gun pair
• The total wattage for all hoses and guns
Perform the system power requirement calculation for the D Series unit as follows, referring to Table 1, below:
Table 1. Maximum Allowable Wattage for the D Series Unit
Line Description
Maximum
Wattage (W)
1 Total for hose/gun 1 pair 1800
2 Total for hose/gun 2 pair 1800
3 Total for hose/gun 3 pair 1400
4 Total for hose/gun 4 pair 1400
5 Total for all hoses and guns 8400
1. Add the power requirements of hose #1 and gun #1. Compare this value to the maximum wattage given
in Line 1 of Table 1.
2. Add the power requirements of hose #2 and gun #2. Compare this value to the maximum wattage given
in Line 2 of Table 1.
3. Add the power requirements of hose #3 and gun #3. Compare this value to the maximum wattage given
in Line 3 of Table 1.
4. Add the power requirements of hose #4 and gun #4. Compare this value to the maximum wattage given
in Line 4 of Table 1.
5. Add the power requirements of all hoses and all guns. Compare this value to the maximum wattage for all
hoses and guns given in Line 5 of Table 1.
6. If any of the power requirements calculated in steps 1-5 exceed any of the maximum allowable wattages
given in Table 1, the hose length or gun configuration must be changed, to reduce all power requirements
to below maximum-allowable wattages.
If each of the power requirements calculated in steps 1-5 is below the maximum allowable wattages given
in Table 1, the system power requirement is within allowable limits.
