Chapter 5 Getting Started
Skilled Trades
Begin by referencing the startup checklist and supplied electrical drawings. Notice that all of the
first items focus on placement of electrical equipment. This is done so the electrician can get
started on the job as soon as possible. Typically, the electrical portion of the installation is the
most substantial.
Second to that is the plumbing work that must be performed. Our installation sequence is
outlined to get both of these trades started as soon as possible.
Equipment Locations
There are some variables that must be thoroughly understood prior to placement and installation
of the equipment. These variables are typically addressed in the site-specific drawings, supplied
by an Architect or your Belanger® Representative.
Some of the variables to consider prior to installing the equipment include:
• Bay Length: The length of the bay can vary considerably and have a dramatic effect
on equipment placement. For example, a very short bay may force signage to be
installed outside the building.
• Bay Width and Height: There is no maximum bay width or height, but there are
minimum requirements to install a Cube®.
Reference the Support Documents included at the end of this manual to assist with installation.
Use the drawing diagram that best fits the site layout. If the site layout is not represented in
these diagrams and/or you do not have site specific drawings, please contact your Belanger®
Representative or Belanger® Technical Support at 248-349-7010 for assistance.
• Door Width and Centerline of Building - Although rare, door widths less than 10
feet can affect equipment placement and overall site performance. In cases where
the door is not on centerline with the building, equipment placement can be affected.
• Back Room Equipment - There is some flexibility when installing back room support
equipment, but keep in mind the following guidelines. Short runs from the Pumping
Station and Solution Delivery Modules optimize performance. Proper equipment
placement can reduce utility costs and minimize obstacles. Typical equipment found
in the back room includes: Cube® Electrical Panels (2), HMI Box, High Pressure
Pump Assemblies (2), ICS Deliver System with Pump, MixStir, Air Panel Assemblies
(1 always, possibly 3), Water Softener, Spot Free (RO) System with Tank, and an
Air Compressor. Additionally, the backroom may also have to accommodate a Boiler
for hot water and/or a boiler for slab heat. Placement of these items is just as
important as the equipment in the bay; therefore, you should plan accordingly.
Establishing an Origin in the Bay
The placement of the Cube® in the bay requires several considerations. Allow space for the
Undercarriage Wash, Photo-Eyes, Support Legs, manifold travel, signage, drip space, and
doors. Reference clearance requirements on the Support Documents included at the end of this
manual for further details.
