Product Setup
Complete the following steps in order to correctly unpack and assemble
the PWA 2000 -
Unpacking the PWA 2000
1 Carefully open the packaging: Do not use blades that could
damage the contents
2 The PWA 2000’s power cable is packed on the top foam panel,
Fig. 3. Remove the power cable from the box and set aside
3 Extract the PWA 2000 from the box by lifting upwards
4 Remove the foam panels from the top and bottom
5 Do not throw away the box and foam panels. Keep the packaging
6 Situate the PWA 2000 on a secure surface. Place the PWA 2000
at a distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm) from any other object,
including the back wall
7 Connect the power cable to the PWA 2000 and into a power
socket US - 110V / EU - 220V with a grounding socket. A controlled
switch socket is prefered as this would allow the operator to easily
disconnect the power to the apparatus when not in use
8 Once power is connected, the PWA 2000 will display a brief start-
up screen and will then go to stand-by mode. In this mode the PWA
2000 is ready to start the required program
Adding the cleaning agent
There are two recommended cleaning agents for the PWA 2000 -
1 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) - See the manufacturer for use and
safety instructions
2 PC1 - A non-carcinogenic, non-hazardous, non-ammable, eco-
friendly alternative to IPA. PC1 must be diluted with water before
using in the PWA 2000. Use a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part PC1
Do not store the cleaning agent in the PWA 2000 after use. Use the
drainage spout, Fig. 2, to pour the cleaning agent into a separate
storage container between uses.
