Electrical:
The WAZER Main Unit only comes as one
model and can be plugged into 110-220VAC
power. However, the Pump Unit comes as
different models for the specific voltage region
they are intended for. This setup guide is for
both the 110 VAC 60hz WAZER (pump unit
designated as V1.5A) and the 220 VAC 50hz
WAZER (pump unit designated as V1.5B).
Please ensure you follow the appropriate
electrical hookup instructions below given your
model of WAZER. You can verify your model
by looking at the serial number tags on your
Pump Unit.
•
110 VAC 60hz (V1.5A): This version of
WAZER has its Main Unit consume up to
2amps and its Pump Unit consume up to
15 amps. Given traditional 110 VAC 60hz
household and shop circuits you will be
required to have one of the following for
your machine:
•
2x 15amp circuits (common household
shop application)
•
1x 20amp circuit (common industrial
and shop application)
•
220 VAC 50hz (V1.5B): This version of
WAZER has its Main Unit consume up to 1
amp and its Pump Unit consume up to 10
amps. Any circuit >11amps will be sufficient.
•
As is usually the case with high load motors,
there is an inherent “in-rush current” that
will momentarily exceed the stated steady-
state run currents above for a fraction of
a second. The time associated with this
“in-rush current” is very short and almost
all household and commercial AC breakers
are designed to handle this safely without
tripping. However, in the rare case that you
run into trouble with your breaker tripping
you may need to consult an electrician to
have your system checked to handle on the
order of 60amps for 150 milliseconds.
Water Supply:
Some areas are susceptible
to dirty water or water main breaks. Please
be sure to include a mechanical prefilter
before the inlet to the pump to ensure water
supply contaminants don’t go into the pump.
We cannot be held accountable for damage
caused to pump as a result of contaminated
water supply.
•
Flow Rate: Greater than 1gpm (3.8L/min).
Most household and commercial water
plumbing will meet this requirement. Typical
bathroom faucets 1-3 gpm, kitchen faucets
2-4 gpm, and outdoor/shop hoses 3-6 gpm.
•
Pressure: 35-125psi (0.24MPa – 0.8MPa).
Most household and commercial water
plumbing systems fall in this range. The
higher in that range, the better for the Pump
Box in terms of its longevity.
•
Temperature: 130°F (54°C).
DO NOT use a
hot water line for WAZER.
•
Water Hardness: Less than 180 mg/L (10.5
gpg).
Water hardness is the biggest factor
that affects the longevity of the components.
Most municipal water in North America is
below this figure, however we suggest you
give your region a search if this is a concern.
•
WAZER should not be used in noisy
electromagnetic environments. Some
appropriate environments include
laboratories, household workshops, and
most machine shops. Heavy industrial
environments that contain machinery
or devices that induce electromagnetic
interference on other adjacent devices
(either on the same circuit or in the general
proximtiy) should be avoided.
Water Drainage:
Make sure that it does not take more than 30
feet (9m) of your Water Drain Hose to go from
WAZER to the drain. Additionally, the drain
location should be less than 4 feet (12mm)
above WAZER.
Desktop:
•
Sturdy and capable of holding over 400 lbs.
(160kg)
•
Flat and level under load. The levelness
is key for correct operation of WAZER.
Maximum 1.5mm of height difference across
entire Cut Bed
•
A clear area of 46” by 27” (1.2m by 0.7m) to
allow for access.
•
Does not deteriorate when exposed to water.
Because under some unforeseen scenarios,
water may stream out from abrasive hopper
and other places.
•
Good choices: quartz, stainless steel,
treated solid wood
•
Poor choices: plywood, unfinished MDF
or particle board
•
NOTE: No desktop is necessary if you
plan on using WAZER with the Stand Leg
Accessory. However, please keep a 62” area
above the floor footprint that you intend
to place your WAZER on in order to allow
access to it.
•
Floorspace:
The Pump Box is intended to be
placed on the floor and requires 30” x 26”
(0.8m x 0.7m) of space to allow for adequate
airflow, cables, and hoses.
Choosing a Location for WAZER
Location Requirements
Ensure that your installation location meets ALL the following requirements:
Ambient Air Temperature: 40 - 100 F / 5 - 40 C
WAZER should never be operated outside of
this range.
Space Around WAZER:
Make sure to leave
at least 12” (0.4m) of free space on the right
and left sides of WAZER. On the left side
of WAZER, you will need room to refill the
Abrasive Hopper. On the right side, you may
need access to the Control Panel.
Wet Area:
WAZER operates with abrasive and water.
Though WAZER is enclosed, it is not a sealed
system, and water and abrasive will inevitably
leak on occasion. The floor surface should
be water- resistant, slip proof and smooth
enough for easy cleanup of spills. A nearby
floor drain is also recommended. Water may
stream out from under your abrasive hopper
as an example of why this machine needs to
be in a water tolerant area.
Proximity to Abrasive Storage:
Abrasive is heavy. If you will be cutting often
make sure that the WAZER location is close
to a storage area for Abrasive and Used
Abrasive. Moving abrasive long distances can
quickly become cumbersome.
Noise:
WAZER emits noise that would be disruptive
in settings such as classrooms and offices.
Make sure to place WAZER in a location
where the noise level of traditional shop
tools like drills and saws is acceptable.
