SECTION 5
SYSTEM START-UP AND OPERATION
Before beginning system start
-
up, walk through once more and check to confirm all your fluid and electrical
connections are connected as shown in your provided Customer Drawing Package.
5.1 HEATED SPRAY SYSTEM
1)
First, you will need to supply 480VAC to the control panel with the cord provided. This one cord will supply power
to the entire system and different components can be turned on and off from the control panel. You do not need
to supply individual components their own power supply source.
2)
Your immersion heater and pump should be already programmed correctly. You may set your desired heating
temperature for the 10
-
Gal. tanks main supply.
3)
Locate your level sensor drawing in the customer provided drawing package for details on programming your level
sensor. Level sensor must be programmed while the tank is empty to calibrate the sensor appropriately.
4)
Confirm your liquid outlet 3
-
way valve is directed to your fluid line and not the draining port.
5)
Your variable spray mount with nozzles (or other possible spray setup) should be hooked up, mounted and adjust-
ed to your initial expectations. Ensure all fluid lines have been connected to your nozzle(s) before supplying pres-
sure to the tank.
6)
Turn on all your spray control boxes (zoning box, spray controller, auto
-
refill control box, etc.)
7)
At this point, the tank should currently be empty, and the auto
-
refill will begin filling the pressurized tank supply
from your main supply.
8)
Once the tank is filled completely
-
your level sensor will display 100%, then the auto
-
refill will shut off.
9)
Open your valve on the air inlet to be in
-
line with the regulator, set your pressure regulator to the desired spray
pressure and the tank will begin filling.
10)
Begin supplying air to your agitator unit to keep your process fluid in suspension.
11)
The fluid supply line to your nozzle setup should be full of your process fluid but should have some air trapped.
The fluid needs to be purged before starting your application/ production.
12)
Whether you have a manual/ digital zone control box, make sure all nozzles are switched on before performing a
spray purge with all nozzles. (If you need details on zone control box operations and guidance, please see manual
provide on Customer
’
s project flash drive and see the customer
’
s drawing package for component details).
13)
Purge the nozzles and the fluid supply line through the purge button in your spray controller or by simply setting
the spray controls to variable and local trigger. Set duty cycle to 100% and trigger your nozzle until all air has been
removed from the line. This will also insure there is no clog in the nozzle tip.
14)
Once purged, the system is ready for an application.
