Setup
1. Locate Reactor
a. Locate Reactor on a level surface. See
Dimensions, page 48, for clearance
and mounting hole dimensions.
b. Do not expose Reactor to rain.
c. Use the casters to move Reactor to a
fixed location, or bolt to shipping pallet
and move with forklift.
d. To mount on a truck bed or trailer,
remove casters and bolt directly to truck
or trailer bed. See page 48.
2. General equipment guidelines
• Determine the correct size generator.
Using the correct size generator and proper
air compressor will enable the proportioner
to run at a nearly constant RPM. Failure to
do so will cause voltage fluctuations that
can damage electrical equipment. Ensure
the generator matches the voltage and
phase of the proportioner.
Use the following procedure to determine
the correct size generator.
a. List system components that use peak
load requirements in watts.
b. Add the wattage required by the system
components.
c. Perform the following equation:
Total watts x 1.25 = kVA (kilo-
volt-amperes)
d. Select a generator size that is equal to
or greater than the determined kVA.
• Use proportioner power cords that meet or
exceed the requirements listed in Table 2.
Failure to do so will cause voltage fluctua-
tions that can damage electrical equip-
ment.
• Use an air compressor with constant speed
head unloading devices. Direct online air
compressors that start and stop during a
job will cause voltage fluctuations that can
damage electrical equipment.
NOTICE
Proper system setup, start up, and shutdown
procedures are critical to electrical equip-
ment reliability. The following procedures
ensure steady voltage. Failure to follow these
procedures will cause voltage fluctuations
that can damage electrical equipment and
void the warranty.
NOTICE
To prevent damage from tipping over and fall-
ing, proper care needs to be taken when lift-
ing the Reactor. Bolt Reactor to original
shipping pallet, to keep stable, before lifting.
