Section 2

Installation

This manual is designed as a guide to the installation and maintenance of the 125-pound capacity cabinet hardmount washer-extractor.

Machine Ove rv i ew

The design of the washer-ext ractor emphasizes performance reliability and long service life. The cylinder, shell, and main body panels are fabricated of stainless steel. The washerextractor is mounted on a welded base frame which supports the bearings, cylinder, and shell.

The cylinder is supported at the shaft by two flange-mounted spherical roller bearings bolted to the A-frame.

The machine uses one motor to drive the cylinder with a V-drive system in all speeds.

A door-lock system prevents opening of the stainless steel door when a cycle is in progress. It also prevents operation of the machine when the door is open.

when the cylinder rotates at slow speed and allow the garments to tumble back into the solution. The cylinder is perforated, allowing the water to pass through and drain from within during the wash process and extract.

Electrical controls for the machine are housed in a separate enclosure located underneath the top cover of the machine.

The washer-extractor uses an A C in v erter driv e control which provides six preset motor speeds using a single motor. The V-computer output board converts motor logic from the computer to the correct signals for the AC inverter drive. In addition, all logic inputs to the computer are routed through this board.

The AC inverter drive uses special balance detection software in conjunction with the V-computer to prev ent out-of-balance conditions. When the AC drive detects an unbalanced load at the end of a drain step, the computer will make up to seven attempts to balance the load. As a fail-safe measure, an overtra v el limit switch is installed.

An electrically operated drain valve is used to retain the water and wash solution in the machine during the wash and rinse steps. The drain valve closes when power is applied and opens when power is removed, allowing the machine to drain in the event of a power fail ure.

The cylinder is designed with lifters or ribs that lift the garments from the wash solution

F232097R1

Liquid supplies can be injected directly into the machine by a customer-supplied external chemical supply system. Chemical supply hose connections are made just below the vacuum breaker, inside the machine. A terminal strip in the AC drive module pro vides control signals.

CAU TION

SW020

A proper foundation is absolutely necessary for all models because of the high extract speed and the G-forces exerted.

Care must be exercised in the design of the mounting base due to the force exerted by the machine during extract.

Static and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are shown in the following table, Cabinet Hardmount Floor Load Data. This table can be used as a reference when designing floors and foundations.

Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all foundation work to insure a stable unit installation, eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during extract.

The machine must be secured to a foundation or floor of adequate construction. The floor must be 3500 psi minimum reinforced concrete embedded in clean, compacted fill dirt. The floor must be at least 12 inches (304 mm) thick.

The machine must be anchored to a smooth level surf ace so that the entire base of the machine is supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not support the machine on only four points.) If anchor bolts are used instead of a rebar frame to install the machine, the anchor bolts must be a minimum of 3/4-inch diameter, grade 5.

A bolt kit consisting of eight bolts is available as an option. All machines use 3/4–10 x 8" bolts. The bolts should be embedded in a 3500 psi minimum reinforced concrete floor tha t is a minimum of 12 inches (304 mm) thick. Use the mounting bolt layout in Figure 2–3. (The front of the washer-extractor is the bottom of each diagram.)

See Figure 2–4 for a typical installation of individual mounting bolts.

Figure 2–4

A bolt-locator fixture or rebar frame is available as an option. This rigid welded assembly made of reinforcing rod and mounting bolts is designed to be embedded in concrete. See Figure 2–5.

Installation

Mechanical In sta lla tio n

After the concrete has cured, proceed as follows:

1. Place the washer-extractor adjacent to the foundation. Do not attempt to move the machine by pushing on the sides. Always insert a pry bar or other device under the bottom frame of the machine to move it.

2. Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the carriage bolts holding the skid to the bottom frame of the washer-extractor.

3. Place the washer-extractor carefully over the anchor bolts. Never attempt to lift the machine by the door handle or by pushing on the cover panels.

4. Raise and level the washer-extractor 1/2 inch off the floor on three points, using spacers such as nut fasteners.

(Continued)

8. Position the mounting bolt washers and locknuts on the anchor bolts and fingertighten locknuts to machine base.

9. After the grout is completely dry, tighten the locknuts by even increments–one after the other–until all are tightened evenly and the washer-extractor is fastened securely to the floor.

Note: Check and retighten the locknuts after five to ten days of operation and every month thereafter.

5. Fill the space between the washerextractor base and the floor with a good quality non-shrinking machinery grout to ensure a stable installation. Grout completely under all frame members. (Remove front panel and back panel to gain access to all frame members.) See Figure 2–6. Force grout under machine base until all voids are filled.

6. Remove the spacers carefully , allowing the machine to settle into the wet grout.

7. Before grout sets completely, make a drain opening in the rear of the washer-extractor grouting with a stiff piece of wire; this opening should be approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm) wide to allow any surface water build-up under the base of the machine to drain away. Do not omit this step.

Installation

Drain Connection

A drain system of adequate capacity is essential to machine performance. Ideally, the water should empty through a vented pipe directly into a sump or floor drain. Figures 2–6 and 2–7 show typical drain line and drain trough configurations.

Drain Valve

Drain Hose

A flexible connection must be made to a vented drain system to prevent an air lock and to prevent siphoning. If proper drain size is not available or practical, a surge tank is required. A surge tank in conjunction with a sump pump should be used when gravity drainage is not possible, such as in below-ground-level installations.

Connections should be supplied by a hot and a cold water line of at least the sizes shown in the W a ter Supply Line Sizing table. Installation of additional machines will require proportionately larger water lines. See table.

To connect water servi ce to machine with rubber hoses, use the following procedure:

1. Before installing hoses, flush the water system for at least 2 minutes.

2. Check filters in the machine’s inlet hoses for proper fit and cleanliness before connecting.

3. Hang hoses in a large loop; do not allow them to kink.

If additional hose lengths are needed, use flexible hoses with screen filters. Each hose should have a screen filter installed to keep rust and other foreign particles out of the water inlet valv es.

Suitable air cushions should be installed in supply lines to prevent “hammering.” See Figure 2–8. If the water pressure is above 60 psi, flexible copper tubing should be used in place of rubber hoses.

Electrical connections are made at the input power block in the AC driv e module at the rear of the machine. A hole in the valve panel has been provided for the proper routing of input powe r wi res.

All models require a clean power supply free from voltage spikes and surges. A v oltage monitor should be used to check incoming power. The customer’s local power company may provide such a monitor.

If input voltage measures above 230V for a 200V drive or above 440V for a 400V drive, ask the power company to lower the voltage . As an alternative, a step-down transformer kit is available from the distrib utor. Voltages above 250V and 490V require additional measures. Contact the distributor or the manufacturer for assistanc e .

WARNING

Never touch terminals or components of the AC inverter dr ive unless power is disconne c te d and the “CHAR GE” indicator LED i s off. The AC i nverter dr i ve retai ns potential ly deadly voltage for some time after the powe r is dis c onnected. There are no user-se rviceable p arts insid e t he AC inverter drive. Tampering with the drive will void the warran ty.
