PowerSmoke 740 (HV) Operating Instructions
Version 2.0
The adjustment of the pump in respect to the transmitter signal can
change over time. This is especially caused by the "running in" of the
pump and the motor.
The result could be that the flow rate changes over time (in general
somewhat increasing) when the pump is not running full speed. You
can correct this by changing the "travel range" easily. Alternatively the
pump can be newly taught in.
If not used for a longer time (especially in winter time) and when
smoke oils with additives
are in use corrosion can occur. In general
these are smoke oils with odorous substances (e.g. smoke oils with
strawberry or banana aroma). These additives are often acidic and
heavily hygroscopic and therefore attack the toothed wheels of the
pump. Such smoke oils also deposit Emulsions (water oil
combinations). These are recognizable as brown spots in the canister.
If you do not want to resign from using such oils you must conserve the
pump before pausing a longer time. Fill the smoke tank with acid-free
oil (e.g. sewing machine oil or low viscosity machine oil) and then run
the pump until consistently flooded by oil.
Hint:
Generally its senseful to flood the pump with acid-free oil during long pauses
(e.g. winter). This also will extend the life time of the pump.
Hint:
We point out that damage caused by corrosion is not covered by warranty!
