SteamerGard™ Model WT-90
OPERATION
First, ensure that the feed water valve on the
SteamerGard
™ unit is open. The valve handle will be parallel to the
valve body. When the steamer is not in use, such as overnight, the system remains in a "stand-ready" mode.
When the steamer is used, and it begins to draw purified water from the storage tank, the system automatically
responds, coming on just long enough to maintain a full level of water in the storage tank. Then, the system
returns to the "stand-ready" mode. This cycle continues, automatically, during steamer operation.
CONTROL PANEL CONTROLS and MONITORS
The
SteamerGard™
system is equipped with controls and monitors designed to give the operator important
information about system status and performance, as well as to provide for ease of maintenance and servicing.
Even though the
SteamerGard"*
system
is completely automatic, it is important to be familiar with these controls.
Manual Bypass Valve:
During normal operation, the manual bypass valve handle must be turned fully counter-clockwise (
Steamer-
Gard
™ position). In the unlikely event that the
SteamerGard
™ unit becomes inoperative or its capacity
exceeded, the manual bypass valve allows the
SteamerGard
™ system to be bypassed, providing untreated tap
water to the steamer until repairs can be made. To use the manual bypass valve, turn the handle fully clockwise
so that the handle points to the "bypass' position. Once necessary repairs are made. the handle must be returned
to the
SteamerGard
™ position, indicating that the steamer is once again being supplied with purified water.
IMPORTANT:
If the manual bypass must be used to ensure continued use of the steamer, the
SteamerGard
™ system must be serviced immediately. Continued operation of the steamer in the bypass
(tap water) mode may result in damage to the steamer.
Tank Pressure Gauge:
This gauge will register at least 20 psi pressure when the storage tank is filled with enough water to operate the
steamer. If the gauge reads less than 30 - 40 psi, the
SteamerGard
™ unit will be in the operating mode. If the
gauge reads 50-60 psi, the storage tank will be filled and the
SteamerGard
™ unit will be in the "stand ready"
mode. In the unlikely event that the pressure falls so low that the steamer will not operate normally, the manual
bypass should be turned to the "bypass" position.
water Quality Button:
When this button is pushed, either a red or a green light will glow, indicating the quality of the water produced by
the
SteamerGard
™ unit. This test should be performed at least once a month. Refer to the Maintenance section
for procedure.
