BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
American Dish Service provides this information as a service to our customers. Keep all instructions
for future reference. ADS reserves the right to alter or update this information at any time. Should you
desire to make sure that you have the most up-to-date information, we would direct you to the appropriate document on our web site: www.americandish.com.
Set out below are the specifications and requirements that you must use and follow to properly install
the type or types of equipment listed above. It is your obligation as the customer to ensure that the
machine is installed safely and properly, and when completed, the machine is left in proper and safe
working order. Electrical, Plumbing, and Chemical hookup must be performed by qualified personnel
who will ensure that the equipment is installed in accordance with all applicable Codes, Ordinances,
and Safety requirements. Failure to follow these requirements will void the war-
ranty. ADS assumes no liability or control over the installation of the equipment. Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the
ADS Warranty.
WARNING:
When working on the conveyor, always disconnect power
to conveyor and tag out before servicing. Beware of
moving gear and drive on conveyor. Heaters will remain
hot immediately after emptying the wash and rinse
tanks. Turn off machine at master switch before opening
for inspection.
IMPORTANT:
Single-phase ADC-44 and three-phase ADC-66
require a 10 gauge neutral and suitable ground. It
is recommended that new dishmachines be
installed using new circuit breakers.
NOTE TO INSTALLER:
TABLES ARE CRITICAL TO PROPER DISHMACHINE
OPERATION. NO TABLE DRAINS (quick drains) OR SINKS
WITHIN 20” ON SOIL TABLE. NO SINKS OR DRAINS ON
CLEAN TABLES. Slant tables toward the machine and ANCHOR
to machine lip with 1/4-20 bolts supplied. Table lip must not rub on
the conveyor bar. If needed, cut half-round for clearance. TRAY
TRACKS are not adjustable up or down. Fasten tables flush to
machine. Curves or “bands” on clean table seldom work,
recommend using ADS table limit switch.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Read and observe all CAUTIONS and
WARNINGS shown throughout these instructions.
While performing installations described in this
booklet APPROVED Personal Protective
Equipment, including SAFETY EYE-WEAR must
be worn.
IMPORTANT - Dishmachine MUST be
installed allowing for servicing of the motors and the
conveyor. Do not install chemical dispensers on the
top of the control box or dishmachine. If you receive
a damaged dishmachine, immediately contact your
dealer.
Optional Accessories -
Table Limit Switch - Turns operation OFF when
tables are too short and racks pile up on clean table.
Rack Timer - Counts minutes of operation.
Pant Leg Vents - For exhaust connection
(comes standard on high temperature machine).
Electrical
Electrical ADC-44 (3-phase)
The power supply (208 volt - 60 amps) must consist of three (3) six-gauge wires and a suitable ground. The 60 amp
breaker or fuse must be on a clean circuit to the machine. ADS has provided a conduit hole (1 3/8” for 1” conduit) for electrical service in the back of the control box. Attach the six-gauge wires to the main distribution block in the control box, to
terminals marked L1, L2, & L3. Attach ground wire to main distribution block and tighten all wires.
240 Volt Delta System: If you have 240 volt, delta system, attach the high leg (200 volt line) to L3. Attach your 120 volt
wires to L1 and L2.
Remove front panels and check rotation of motors. A rotation arrow is provided on the wash pump motor. If motors are
running in reverse, turn off main power and switch incoming power wires on L1 & L2. Verify proper rotation and tighten all
wires.
Caution: Before powering machine, check all screw terminals in control box on top of the machine, power box,
and both heater boxes located under the tanks. Screws can loosen in transit. Loose connections on high load
terminals will cause wire burning and component damage during machine operation and will not be covered under
ADS warranty.
Electrical ADC-44 (single-phase “DUAL” circuits with 10-gauge neutral)
ADS has provided two (2) conduit holes (1 3/8” for 1” conduit) for electrical service in the back of the control box.
Warning: Label building circuit breakers, noting DUAL supply to dishmachine.
Circuit One: The power supply (208 volt - 50 amps) must consist of two (2) eight-gauge wires, a ten gauge neutral, and a
suitable ground. Attach the two (2) eight-gauge wires to the main distribution block (four poles) in the control box to
terminals marked L1 & L2. Attach the ten-gauge neutral and the ground wire to their proper terminal locations as marked
on the main distribution block(4 pole). Attach ground wire to main distribution block and tighten all wires.
Circuit Two: The wash heater is powered on a separate circuit, using two (2) six-gauge wires (208 volt - 60 amp). The 60
amp breaker or fuse must be on a clean circuit to the machine. Using the second conduit hole, attach the wires to the
wash heater distribution block (2 pole) and tighten both wires.
Caution: Before powering machine, check all screw terminals in control box on top of the machine, power box,
and both heater boxes located under the tanks. Screws can loosen in transit. Loose connections on high load
terminals will cause wire burning and component damage during machine operation and will not be covered
under ADS warranty.
Electrical ADC-66 (3-phase with 10-gauge neutral)
The power supply (208 volt - 90 amps) must consist of three (3) three-gauge wires, a ten-gauge neutral, and a suitable
ground. The 90 amp breaker or fuse must be on a clean circuit to the machine. ADS has provided a conduit hole (1 3/4”
for 1 1/4” conduit) for electrical service in the back of the control box. Attach the three-gauge wires to the main distribution
block in the control box, to terminals marked L1, L2, & L3. Attach the ten-gauge neutral and the ground wire to their
proper terminal locations as marked on the main distribution block and tighten all wires.
240 Volt Delta System: If you have 240 volt (delta system) attach the high leg (200 volt line) to terminal marked L3.
Attach your 120 volt, three-gauge wires to terminals marked L1 & L2.
Remove front panels and check rotation of motors. A rotation arrow is provided on the wash pump motor. If motors are
running in reverse, turn off main power and switch incoming power on L1 & L2. Verify proper rotation and tighten all wires.
Caution: Before powering machine, check all screw terminals in control box on top of the machine, power box,
and both heater boxes located under the tanks. Screws can loosen in transit. Loose connections on high load
terminals will cause wire burning and component damage during machine operation and will not be covered
under ADS warranty.
