Datacolor AutoLab TF Tube Free Laboratory Dispenser Installation requirements
General environment
The unit environment should be as follow:
• Room temperature should be stable within the limits of 18 to 26 degrees centigrade.
• Humidity should be within the range 40% to 80% RH.
• The unit should be installed in a relatively dust-free area, out of direct line of any air-conditioning airflow.
• System should be installed in a vibration free environment.
Services requirements
Power
Power 220 V, +/- 10 %, 50/60 Hz. Single phase, 3 wire (live, earth and neutral). Please refer to above table for
power wattage requirements
An AVR (mains voltage regulator), with up to 150% / 10 second overload capability, 0.1 second response time, is
supplied with the system, to minimise effects of varying power supply or spikes. However power supplied to the
machine should be regulated, and should be supplied as a stable dedicated power line. A separate fuse circuit, with
isolator, should be provided.
If the mains power line is prone to interruptions and failures, a UPS should be installed.
Power sockets for the computer and printer are required
Water Supply
Mains Water – 1 to 2 kg/cm² (13-26 psi).
A water filter is supplied with the system, which should be connected in-line with the water inlet to the dispenser. If
the water pressure is substantially higher than 2 kg/cm², a water pressure regulator MUST be fitted in line before
connecting to the water filter. The water filter is only rated for water pressures as stated above. If the water is
supplied at a higher pressure, it may cause the water filter to break.
The mains water inlet should be connected to the inlet of the water filter, which has a 1/2” connector, using a water
pipe with inner diameter of 1/2”. (1/2” is equivalent to approx 12.5mm).
The outlet of the water filter has a 4*6mm brass connector, which should be connected to the water inlet of the
system, which has a 4*6mm brass connector, using a length of pipe of outer diameter 6mm and inner diameter
4mm. This pipe is supplied with the system for this connection.
If the water contains a large amount of algae, dirt etc. a pre-filter should be added in addition to the water filter
supplied (5 micron). If water is highly aerated, then a de-aeration unit should be installed.
Drain
Water drain uses a 5*8mm quick-fit connector. Piping of 8mm outer diameter should be used to connect from the
various drain outlet points of the water tanks, as show below in appropriate diagram, to the main drain of the
laboratory
Air Supply
A clean and dry air supply is required, no lubrication, 4.5-6.0 kg/ cm² (60-80 psi). Connection of air should be made
to the 10 * 8 mm “quick-fit” air-inlet connector on the dispenser, as shown in the relevant diagram below, using
compressed air piping with a 10mm outer diameter.
It is suggested to install a 1 micron air filter (or finer) before the air goes into the system to elongate the life time of
the air cylinder and solenoid valve on the system.
