1. INSTALLATION
1.1 COUNTER SELECTION
A. Select a location close to a properly grounded electrical outlet (see Section 1.5, Electrical
Requirements) and water supply that meet the requirements outlined below.
B. Counter location must be able to support a minimum of 600 pounds (272 kg) per MDS unit.
NOTE
If two (2) systems are installed, the counter must be able to support 1,200 pounds (544 kg).
C. Counter cutouts, required for installation of unit, are shown in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Full size
templates are provided with the MDS Kit.
1.2 PROVIDING CLEARANCE
W
ARNING
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR CLEARANCE WILL CAUSE THE COMPRESSOR TO
OVERHEAT AND WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE COMPONENT FAILURE.
Condenser air is drawn in the top front of the unit and discharged out the top back of the unit. A
minimum of 15 inches (38.1 cm) clearance must be maintained over the top of the unit.
1.3 WATER REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
IF WATER SOURCE EXCEEDS 50 PSIG (3.52 KG/CM2), A WATER REGULATOR ASSEMBLY
MUST BE USED TO LIMIT WATER PRESSURE TO 50 PSIG (3.52 KG/CM
2
). FAILURE TO USE
REGULATOR WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER PERFORMANCE OF DISPENSER.
This dispenser incorporates a built-in cold carbonator. There are three (3) water inlets to the
dispenser. Two (2) (plain water circuits) supply water to the non-carbonated drinks and one (1)
(prechill circuit) supplies the carbonator pump.
A. Plain Water Circuit Requirements
Minimum flowing pressure of 40 PSIG (2.81 kg/cm2, 2.75 BAR).
B. Prechill Water Circuit Requirements
Minimum flowing pressure of 25 PSIG (1.76 kg/cm2, 1.72 BAR).
Maximum static pressure of 50 PSIG (3.52 kg/cm
2
, 4.13 BAR).
1.4 CARBON DIOXIDE (CO
2) REQUIREMENTS
Operating pressure: 75 PSIG (5.27 kg/cm2, 5.18 BAR).
1.5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
W
ARNING
ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS MUST MEET LOCAL BUILDING CODES. EACH DRINK
DISPENSER MUST BE SUPPLIED WITH A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.
The drink dispenser must have an independent 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 20 Amp grounded circuit. The ice
dispenser should be connected per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTE
The Ice Dispenser Installation Manual can be found in the ice bin.
1.6 DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
A drain connection should be located within three (3) feet of the dispenser.
1.7 SEALING THE DISPENSER TO THE COUNTER
The equipment should be permanently sealed to the counter using Lancer Sealant (PN 15-0010),
or equivalent.
