INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
When selecting a location for the BACTRON, check that each of the following requirements are
satisfied:
The wall power source for the BACTRON must match the voltage and ampere requirements listed
on the unit data plate. These units are intended for 110 - 120V 50/60 Hz applications at the
following amperages:
Supplied voltage must not vary more than 10% from the data plate rating. Damage to
the unit may result if supplied voltage varies more than 10%.
The wall power source must be protective earth grounded.
Use a separate circuit to prevent loss of the unit due to overloading or circuit failure.
The recommended wall circuit breakers for these units are 15 amps.
The wall power source must conform to all national and local electrical codes.
The unit must be positioned so that all end-users can quickly unplug the BACTRON in the event of
an emergency.
The unit comes provided with a 125 volt, 15Amp, 9ft 5 in (2.86m) NEMA 5-15P power cord.
Always use this cord or an identical replacement.
These units come provided with a T12.5 Amp, 250V 5x20mm fuse located in the power
cord inlet. The unit must be fused in order to operate.
These units come provided with a T10 Amp, 250V 5x20mm fuse located in the vacuum pump
power outlet. The pump outlet must always be fused for safe operations.
HIGH ALTITUDE EFFECTS
Altitudes of around 6500 feet (2000m) or higher may affect the operation of the BACTRON vacuum
system, depending on ambient conditions. If a vacuum pump plugged into the BACTRON runs
continuously or near continuously at a high altitude location, contact Sheldon Technical Support
(see page 7) for assistance.
