The SCLS IV/AQUANOMIC EU IV Dispensing Module is an add-on unit designed to convert a standard three-product dispenser into a four-product dispenser, enhancing application flexibility for laundry operations. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, programming, and servicing, intended for use by qualified personnel in accordance with local plumbing and electrical codes.
Function Description
The primary function of the SCLS IV/AQUANOMIC EU IV Dispensing Module is to integrate a fourth solid product into an existing SCLS/AQUANOMIC EU dispenser system. It accurately dispenses this additional solid product, utilizing the existing pump and conductivity cell of the main dispenser for discharge. The module is designed to work seamlessly with the main dispenser, drawing its electrical power (24 volts) and water supply from the main unit, thus eliminating the need for separate electrical or water hook-ups. A key feature is the empty capsule alarm for the fourth solid product, ensuring timely replacement and uninterrupted operation. To prevent accidental swapping of product capsules when multiple units or product types are present at the same location, two distinct types of product capsules are provided.
Important Technical Specifications
- Dimensions:
- Height: 20 1/4 inches (including standpipe, 22 inches)
- Width: 10 1/4 inches
- Depth: 11 inches
- Weight: 15 lbs (up to 21 lbs with product)
- Product Clearance: Requires 8 inches of clearance above the cabinet for product capsule replacement.
- Electrical Requirements (for the main dispenser, from which the module draws power):
- Constant 120 VAC/60 Hz power source.
- The pump cabinet is shipped with a 9-foot power cord; for distances greater than 9 feet, hardwiring with conduit is required.
- The ON/OFF switch is a double-pole single-throw circuit breaker rated at 3.0 amps.
- Total amperage draw during normal operation is approximately 2.5 amps.
- The SCLS IV/AQUANOMIC EU IV module itself operates on 24-volt electrical service from the main dispenser.
- Water Supply Requirements (for the main dispenser, from which the module draws water):
- A 3/8-inch MNHT hot water supply line is required (NSF hose included in the Installation Kit).
- Water temperature should not fall below 95°F (35°C).
- Water flow rate is 0.8 GPM.
- The SCLS IV/AQUANOMIC EU IV module uses water from the main dispenser and does not require additional water hook-up.
Usage Features
- Enhanced Flexibility: Adds a fourth product dispensing capability, allowing for more versatile laundry applications.
- Integrated Operation: Designed to operate as an extension of the existing SCLS/AQUANOMIC EU dispenser, simplifying control and resource management.
- Empty Capsule Alarm: The fourth solid product dispenser includes an alarm to indicate when the capsule is empty, prompting replacement.
- Product Capsule Design: Two types of product capsules are available to prevent incorrect product placement, especially in multi-unit installations.
- Programming: All programming for the SCLS IV/AQUANOMIC EU IV is done through the SCLS/AQUANOMIC EU dispenser interface. This involves entering programming mode, navigating menus to enable the "Fourth Product Installed" option, and then editing formulas to include gram amounts for the fourth product.
- Startup Procedure: Involves verifying the installation of both the main dispenser and the module, entering the program mode on the main dispenser, navigating to the "Diagnostic Menu" and "Outputs," and then manually activating and deactivating the Product 4 and P4 Flush displays to confirm proper product and water flow.
Maintenance Features
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as "Product not dispensing."
- Product Capsule Switch: If product is not dispensing, check the continuity of the product capsule switch using an ohm meter. The switch is normally open.
- Bad Product Valve: Potential causes include a failed solenoid diaphragm or coil. Troubleshooting involves checking for 24 VAC on the coil leads when the cabinet is dispensing product. If 24 VAC is present, the coil should be replaced. If 24 VAC is not present, the CPU module may need replacement.
- Replacement Parts: A detailed "Replacement Parts" section with a hydraulic diagram and a list of components (including part numbers and descriptions) is provided for easy identification and ordering of replacement parts for the sump and cabinet, spray tube, and flush tube. This includes items like cover assembly, proximity switch, spray tubes, nozzles, O-rings, coils, elbows, brackets, bushings, tees, and drain tube assembly.
