To evaluate the hose/applicator power requirements
1. Match each hose and applicator pairandthenmatcheachpairtothe
hose/applicator module it will be connected to on the back of the melter.
2. Examine the identification tag or plate on each hose and applicator and
record the wattage of each in Table A-1.
3. Add t he sum of the wattages for each hose/applicator pair and the
combined total wattage for each hose/applicator module.
4. Compare the wattages tabulated in Table A-1 with the associated
maximum allowable wattages listed in Table A-2.
5. Do one of the following:
S If each of the wattages calculated in step 3 does not exceed the
associated maximum allowable watt age s listed in Table A-2, then the
power required by the hoses and a pplicators is within acceptable
limits.
S If any of the wattages calculated in step 3 does exceed an associated
maximum allowable wattage listed in Table A-2, then the
configuration or position of t he hose/applicator pairs must be
rearranged or shorter hoses must be used in order to reduce the
power requirement.
