Section 1- Setting up the machine

1.1. Environmental requirements

Requirements for the installation of a DT-10 machine are indi c ated below. Install the
DT-10 machine in a location only thes e r equirements are satisfied to avoid possible
malfunctioning.

Maximum ambient temperature is 35˚C with no freezing. (DT-10 mu st be distanced
from heating generating devices and must be indoors.)

1.2. Handling

To move the DT-10, you must use the proper lift truck. Place the forks inside the
DT-10 caster and try to use the maximum width available. The lift truck must be on
the front of the DT-10. We don’t assume respons ibility for others handli ng method
that can possibly damage the DT-10.

1.3. Connections

1.3.1. Electric connections

Electrical connection must be set according to the ID plate of the DT-10 and
electrical schematic drawing found in section 5. E lectrical connections must be made
by qualified personnel. This person must mak e sure t hat the electrical entries
correspond to the proper voltage and amperage of the mac hine. An isolated device
must be provided in the vicinity of the associated phase conductor terminals for
connection of the mac hine to the external protective conductor to disconnect all
power.

1.3.2. Drain connections

Connect the drain to the ½” NP T ball va lve.

1.3.3. Water connections

Connect the water inlet t o the ½” NPT ball valve.

1.4. Machine power up

1.4.1. Machine power up sequence

• Make sure the lid cover is in vertical position.

• Make sure all guard are proper ly close and be sure that everyone else is

clear of your work area.

• Make sure that power is supplied to the DT-10 Electrical bo x b y t he
external power source.

• Press the POWER ON on the screen to activate the machine. If there i s
no water in the machine, the LOW WATER message will appear on the
screen.

• Open the water filling valve and let the machine fill up with water until the
desired quantity (the pr oduc t must be completely immersed in water). The
heater will come on once the LOW WATER message disappears.

• Close the lid to heat up water f as ter. You can use hot water to initially fill
the DT-10. You will see the preheat page at this time. You can press SKIP
PREHEAT at any time to start operate the machine.

• To adjust the parameters, you can go to the PA RA M page from the main
screen.

From this page, you can adjus t the Water temperature, the delay at the

5

down position and the delay at t he up pos i tion for the loading (continuous
mode.

• When the water temperature s et point is reached, you can st ar t to supply
your DT-10 with some bags with your product in it. If the bags are not
enough shrunk, increase t he bottom pause time or increase temperature,
and try some other bags. Repeat this step until your bags are well shrunk.
The recommended temperat ur e i s ar ound 90°C – 95°C.

• In ONE CYCLE mode, the machine will do one complete cycle and then
stop. You need to press the ST A R T/STOP button to do t he cycle. In
CONTINOUS MODE mode, the mac hine will cycle by itself. You can stop
the CONTINOUS movement by pressing the START/STO P button.

• To stop the heating, press the POWER OFF button on the main s creen.

Section 2- Troubleshooting

• If the DT-10 doesn’t heat t he water

o Check water level inside the DT-10. The LOW water message should not

show.

o Check the temperature set point.
o Check F1 fuse continuity.
o Check the water level switch o peration.
o Check the temperature sensor.

• If the plateau movement doesn’t work

o Check F2 fuse continuity.
o Check the limit switch function
o Check the variable fr equency drive for errors

• If the water reservoir does n’t fill

o Check water inlet ball valve
