Powers 400 User Manual

OPERATION
Hot and cold water enter their respective ports and the pres­sures are equalized through the action of the balancing pop­pet (1). The entire balancing poppet assembly is contained in a celcon chamber (2). This chamber is replaceable as a com­plete cartridge. After the hot and cold presses are equalized, they are mixed by the action of the mixing plate (3). As the temperature adjustment stem is rotated from shutoff to maxi­mum hot water temperature (approximately 180°), the mixing plate passes the required proportion of hot and cold water to produce the control point. With the adjustment stem in its full clockwise position, shutoff is obtained by shutting off both supplies. The maximum temperature stop (4) allows the user to set the maximum discharge temperature. This mixer does not recognize supply water temperature changes so any vari­ation in the water temperature will affect the control point and the maximum temperature setting.

MAINTENANCE
Troubleshooting Pointers
What to look for if:
1. The flow of water is less than desired. a. Valves upstream from supply not fully open. b. Low supply pressures. c. Accumulation of lime deposits in hot water pipes,
restricting the flow of hot water.
d. Shower head clogged.
2. Flow of water is completely shut off. a. Valves upstream from supply completely closed. b. Failure of hot or cold water supply pressure. The
Hydroguard is constructed to restrict the flow of water on hot or cold water supply failure,
3. The temperature of the water goes from hot to cold when
the adjustment handle is rotated counter-clockwise.
a. The water supplies are connected to the wrong port.
4. Flow of water continues when Hydroguard is shut off. a. Worn SHUTOFF DISCS. Replace worn disc.
5. Maximum temperature is too low. a. Accumulation of lime deposits in hot water pipes,
which restricts the flow of hot water.
b. The concealed maximum temperature is not at its
maximum adjustment.
c. Hot water temperature too low.

To Remove Balancing Cartridge Assembly
1. Insert hooked ends of puller into HOT and COLD outlet ports of Balancing Cartridge. (See figure 4)
2. Push puller clasp into notches of puller.
3. Insert screwdriver or similar type bar through puller.
4. Place a 3wood or plastic block (do NOT use metal) between bar end and mixer body. Pull other end of bar.
5. Release puller clasp, spread hooked ends of puller slight­ly and remove from cartridge.
To Install Balancing Cartridge
1. Apply small amount of oil or grease or soap to inner surface of body.
2. Align cartridge and body holes.
3. Slowly push cartridge in, side O-rings. Be careful not to
pinch side O-rings.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SETTING: MODELS 1–3
CAUTION: MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SETTING. To change
setting, remove splined stop by slipping O-ring up on stem. (Do not remove from stem.) Rotate temperature adjustment stem to required maximum temperature setting. Position splined stop on adjustment stem so that it contacts bonnet stop, See figure 2. Slip O-ring back to original position. Shut­off is made by rotating temperature adjustment stem clock­wise. This mixer cannot sense supply water temperature changes, so any variation in inlet temperatures will affect control point and maximum temperature setting.
MODELS 4–6
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SETTING (Refer to figure 3). This must be set on the job. Mixer will pass full HOT water.
Loosen screw B (do not remove). Rotate stem to get desired maximum temperature. Move stop A until it touches stop C. Tighten screw B. Special case—with high (over 140°F–60°C) hot water. Remove screw B, turn stop A over as shown by dashed lines (the word “HOT” will face in) replace screw B. Reset stop A per above.
CAUTION: Adjustable stop A must be present for proper operation.
