4.3
Water supply pumped from a water tank (option available when ordering
the system cannot be retrofitted)
CAUTION
Danger of bursting tubes and damage of the unit.
∅
Never connect a Datacolor CONDITIONER™ unit supplied water tank to a pressurized
mains water supply instead. The unit has a pump inside for pumping water from the
non-pressurised water tank. If connected to mains water supply, this may cause
damage to the pump, and may cause burst pipes and leaking
The water supply from a pumped water tank replaces the standard mains water supply (connection to a
water tap). An electromagnetic pump is located inside the chamber. It switches on when water is required
and pumps the water out of the water tank into the humidifying system of the cabinet.
4.3.1
Connection set of the water supply via water tank
•
10 l water supply tank with coupling adapter
•
1.5m PVC tube (12 mm inner diameter) with coupling adapter
•
Hose
clamps
4.3.2 Connection
The water supply tank is connected to the cabinet by a rapid action hose coupling (self tightened on both
sides) and 1.5m hose (12 mm inner diameter). This hose is connected to the cabinet by the white tube
clip (H) on the rear side of the cabinet and fastened by the delivered hose clamp.
4.3.3 Freshwater
supply
For filling the tank with tap water, the tank must be disconnected from the hose by pulling at the rapid
action hose coupling. The temperature of the tap water must not exceed 60 °C. The filled tank should be
placed beside the chamber in about the same level as the feet of the cabinet (maximum 1 meter above or
below). In any case the tank should be placed in a location that can be observed easily. The connections
must be checked for tightness after any filling of the tank.
As the cabinet only lets in freshwater when required, there is no continuous water flow.
The electromagnetic pump is not safe to run dry. Make sure that the water level in the fresh
water tank is always sufficient.
