Installing the dispenser
HERO automatic colorant dispensers should be installed by trained and authorized
technicians. In addition, a proper installation requires the use of a precision balance capable
of measuring weights between 0.01 and 250 grams.
In the event that a dispenser needs to be installed by someone other than a trained
technician, please follow the instructions in Addendum A accompanying this manual and
contact HERO’s Help Desk with any questions.
The following instructions should be completed in preparing a HERO automatic colorant
dispenser for installation:
Connect the AC power cords of the dispenser and the PC to a dedicated AC power
outlet.
Add 1 or 2 quarts of colorant to each canister without exceeding the maximum
canister capacity.
Colorant should be shook according to its manufacturer’s recommendations but
care must be taken to not operate the dispenser with aerated colorant.
If the colorant needs to be shook mechanically in a shaker or mixer for more than
1 minute, shake it 24 hours before it needs to be put in the dispenser.
Do NOT scrape solidified colorant residue from the bottom of the can into the
dispenser. Mix it with more liquefied colorant in a clean container and stir it
thoroughly until it is homogenized. If it is not aerated, it can then be used in an
automatic colorant dispenser.
Move the PC shelf to one side and open the exposed canister cover.
Find the first canister you want to fill and remove its lid only. Do NOT remove any
other canister lids.
Add colorant to the appropriate canister avoiding the central part of the mixing paddles
as much as possible.
Replace the lid after colorant has been added to a canister and repeat the same
process with all other colorants.
Insure that the dispenser is properly plugged into a dedicated AC circuit and turn on the
power switch on the back of the dispenser where the AC power cord connects.
Check that the dispenser’s emergency button is not activated. It should be pulled out.
You should now hear the dispenser’s agitation motors turn on and by removing one of the
canisters’ lids, you should see its agitation paddles turning. Call HERO’s Help Desk if the
agitation motors do not turn on after powering up the dispenser. The motors should run for
approximately 3 minutes after power is turned on.
Follow the instructions in Addendum A to complete the installation of your HERO automatic
colorant dispenser.
