3. WARNINGS
3.1
The GI-2000 uses heating elements in it’s operation. Therefore, the unit
must always be filled with water. Elements damaged by electricity prior to
the unit being filled with water will void any said warranties.
3.2
To maintain optimum system performance and accuracy it is necessary to
remove solids accumulations in the tank on a regular basis.
4. PLUMBING
INSTALLATION
4.1 INSTALLER
Installation is to be performed by a licensed and certified plumber.
4.2
LOCATION OF GRD
The Plumbing & Drainage Institute (PDI) recommends that the unit be
located within 25’ or as close as possible to the source of grease being
served. The unit may be set on the floor, partially recessed or completely
recessed below the floor. If the unit is to be recessed you must have
proper installation of the electrical hook-up, drain line and LCD control
unit.
4.3 CLEARANCE
When installing, ensure that there is 6” minimum clearance per side for
latch removal. Also provide a minimum of 24” on the outlet end in the
event that the heating elements require service. Provide adequate space
on the inlet side for installation or flow control servicing. When installing
the GI-2000 in a pit/vault provide a drain or a sump pump to prevent water
damage.
4.4
LEVELING THE UNIT
The GRD must be leveled from front to back and from side to side. The
unit must be leveled prior to calibration.
4.5
IMPORTANCE OF FLOW CONTROL FITTING
Extensive test reports conclude that both satisfactory operation and
maximum efficiency of the GI-2000 is dependant on the proper rate of flow
for the GI-2000 connected, which is accomplished by a flow control fitting.
As a result, a specially designed Josam flow control fitting with a 3”, 4”, 5”
or 6” threaded inlet and outlet connection, depending on size of unit, and a
threaded air intake is furnished with every GI 2000 at no extra cost. The
flow control must be installed to prevent overloading the trap and to
maintain maximum grease retention efficiency.
