7.4. Hibernation of the machine
Hibernation is the term used for any period of more than a few weeks in which the machine is not used
and all power to the machine is switched off.
- The ambient temperature in the room where the machine is hibernating should never be lower than
-20°C (68°F) or higher than 50°C (122°F).
- All power to the installation should be cut. (Pull the plug or switch of all fuses of all electrical circuits to
and from the machine)
- Before leaving the machine in hibernation all water should be removed from the tubing (see
procedure).
- In case a Cooling unit is used, it is advisable to remove all water from the cooling unit.
- In case of water problems with the air gun valves (usually due to high pressure cleaning too close to
the valves, or too much moisture in the compressed air supply), it is advisable to remove all the water
out of the air gun valves by activating each air gun.
7.4.1. Air Gun Draining and Test procedure
- To remove all water that might be in the air valves, fi rst go to the Rejection Menu, and next select Valve
Test menu (see picture below).
- Set the Blast Time to +/- 5 sec. and Set the Speed to slow (very few blue bars visible).
- Next press the “Test all Valves” button (all valves will be activated one after the other).
Good valves will light up green, bad valves will be indicated in red and disabled valves will be black.
In case one or more air guns no longer function, it is advisable to replace them as soon as possible (broken
air guns may mean that defects are missed). When in need of extra air guns, please contact BESTnv.
