The three-position power switch on the Modbar module has three separate
functions, as illustrated in the following image.
0 - Off
In this position, the module is in the off position.
I - Standby Mode
In this position, the module is in standby mode. When in standby mode, all operations
function as normal, but no power is applied to the heating elements. This mode is used for
priming the system upon installation, and can also be useful for some diagnostic
applications.
II - Operating Mode
In this position, the module is in operating mode. Power is applied to the heating elements,
and all functions operate as normal.
Upon installation, the Modbar steam module must be primed before use. This is accomplished by the
following steps.
●
Ensure that filtered water is supplied to the module.
●
Ensure that the power switch is in the off position.
●
Ensure that the module power cable is plugged into its appropriate power source.
●
Turn the power switch counter-clockwise to place it in standby mode.
●
The module will begin to fill the boiler. Once the maximum fill level is achieved, the
module will cease to fill. When full, the sight glass will be approximately half full of water.
●
At this point, it is safe to turn the switch clockwise into operating mode.
During general use, the module is already primed, and it is not necessary to prime the system. To start
the module, follow these steps:
●
Ensure that filtered water is supplied to the module.
●
From the off position, turn the power switch clockwise to place it into operating mode.
●
At this point, the elements will begin to heat. When each heat zone reaches set
temperature, the module is ready for use.
