INSTALLATION

Unpacking

CAUTION:

Care should be taken when lifting the machine. The piping under the base can be damaged.
Remove the dishwasher front panels if lifting from the front with a forklift.

1. Immediately after unpacking your machine, inspect for any shipping damage. If damage is
found, save the packing material and contact the carrier upon receipt of the machine.

2. Remove the dishwasher from the skids. Adjust the feet if required, then move the machine to
its permanent location. The machine should not be installed within 6 inches [153mm] of any
wall or structure.

3. Level the machine by placing a level on the top of the machine and adjusting the feet. Level
front-to-back and side-to-side.

Electrical Connections

NOTE:

Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or
Local Electrical Codes.

WARNING:

When working on the dishwasher, disconnect the electric service and tag it to indicate work
is being done on that circuit.

1. The electrician should compare the electrical specifications on the machine electrical con­nection plate (located inside the control cabinet) to the electrical power supply before con­necting to the incoming service at a fused disconnect switch.

2. Motor rotation was set at the factory. Ensure proper rotation of the conveyor drive shaft (red
arrow on shaft shows direction of rotation). Reversing the motor direction is done in the con­trol cabinet by reversing the wires Ll and L2 on the disconnect switch side of the main elec­trical connection terminal block (Refer to the electrical diagrams in the back of this manual).

3. A knock-out plug is provided at the rear of the control cabinet for electrical service connections.

NOTE:

Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or
Local Electrical Codes.

NOTE:

Electric boosters require a separate electrical connection (except for the 44WS and 66WS
models that have a single point electrical connection).

A fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker (supplied by user) is required to protect each
power supply circuit.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE (Cont.)

Automatic Fill/Low Water Heat Protection

Dual Float Switches –

Refer to F

ig. 4
Each tank contains a dual float. The device consists of
an angled stem containing two reed switches.
Two stainless steel ball floats slide over the
stem and are free to move up and down.
The floats contain magnets. When the float moves on the
stem, it opens and closes its associated reed switch inside the
stem. The reed switches control relays. The relays control the
automatic fill and heat for different parts of the machine.
Float switches and their relays operate on 24VAC.

Circuit Explanation –

The following is a general explanation of the float switch circuit.
Refer to the electrical schematic on your machine for a detailed description
of the individual floats, relays, and wiring.

Bottom Float and Reed Switch:

• The bottom float controls the heat.

• When the bottom float is down, the bottom reed switch contacts are open.

• When the bottom float is up, the bottom reed switch contacts close.

Top Float and Reed Switch:

• The top float controls a fill valve.

• When the top float is down, the top reed switch contacts are open.

• When the top float is up, the top reed switch contacts are closed.

Initial Fill –

• When the tank is completely empty, both floats are down and their reed switch contacts

are open.

• The control relay for the float switch is de-energized.

• The fill valve for the tank is energized and the tank begins to fill with water.

• As the water level in the tank rises, the bottom float begins to move up.

• When the bottom float is completely up, its NO reed switch contacts close.

• This prepares the heat circuit, but the heat Does Not energize at this time.

• The tank continues to fill until the top float is completely up.

• The top float’s NO reed switch contacts close. Its control relay energizes.

• The fill valve de-energizes.

• The heat circuit energizes through the float switch and the contacts of the control relay.

During Normal Operation –

• If the water level in a tank falls below the level of the top float, the top float moves down and

its reed switch contacts open.

• When the water level falls below the level of the bottom float, the bottom float moves down

and its reed switch opens.

• The control relay de-energizes. The fill valve energizes and refills the tank.

• The heat circuit will de-energize until the water level in the tank raises the top float again.

• The bottom float keeps the heat circuit ready as long as the water level is above the level of the

bottom float.

The most common trouble conditions associated with a dual float failure are:

1. The tank fills constantly.

2. The tank heat will not come on.

Inspect the Dual Float:

1. Be sure that the dual float assembly is clean and free of scale build-up.

2. Be sure that the stainless steel balls on the float assembly move up and down freely.

In addition to checking the float operation, perform the following—

System Checks:

1. All drain valves are fully closed.

2. Incoming water supply Flow Pressure is 20-22 psi [138-151 kPa].

3. Fuses in control cabinet are good (Electric Heat Only).

4. Tank Heat thermostats and/or High limit thermostats operate correctly.

5. Booster Heat thermostats and/or High limit thermostats operate correctly.

Electric Booster Heater — Element Installation

Refer to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9
Champion built-in boosters are constructed of
stainless steel and have locations for three electric
booster heater elements.

1. The two booster configurations for rack
conveyor models are:

Single tank - 40°F/22°C rise booster
Two tank - 70°F/39°C rise booster (except WS)

The total Kw rating of the booster assembly is
determined by the model number of the machine
and the minimum temperature of the incoming
water supply.

2. The highest rated Kw element

should always be installed in the
bottom right corner location of
booster canister No. 1.
