Installation
All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building, electrical, and plumbing codes in effect in
the area.
Foundation Requirements
The washer must be securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor, or mounted upon a suitable base which is in turn securely bolted to a substantial concrete floor. Care must be stressed with all foundation work to insure a stable unit, eliminating vibration. All installations must be made on sound concrete floors 4” or thicker but see mounting dimensions for each model being installed.
Mounting
A concrete pad or steel base which elevates the machine 4 to 6 inches above the floor level is recommended to provide easy access to the loading door. Allow a minimum of 24” of clearance behind the rear of the machine for service as is shown. Dexter highly recommends the use of a dry expansion grout mix.
Proper Machine Grout Installation
Grout should be installed between base (if used) and concrete fl oor on all side rails and crossmembers. If using a base you should grout between base top and machine frame and all side rails and crossmembers.
T-300 WCAD18KCS-10 model (1 phase 120 volts) washers are equipped with an electrical cord with a 3 prong grounded plug. A U.L. approved receptacle, which has been properly grounded in accordance with local electrical codes must be used with the machine. Each unit should be connected to an individual branch circuit not shared by lighting or other equipment. Conductors of the proper size and insulation (suggested size below) should be used.
To Make Electrical Connections
Disconnect all power to the washer. Remove screw and lift out the cover located in the upper left corner of the machine (as viewed from the back).
• If power is 208-240-3PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2, L3 and ground. If there is a high leg it must beconnected to L3. It is
highly recommended to use a TVSS.
• If power is 208-240-1PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2 and Ground. If power is 120 -1PH-60Hz. Use a UL approved
receptacle with proper external ground.
NOTE: It is important that the grounding screw next to the power terminal block TB-1 be connected to a good
external ground.
Controls Transformer
The controls transformer is located inside the control trough and steps a range of 208 to 240 volts down to 115 volts. There are two terminals on the controls transformer for the primary (incoming) power. Use the terminal marked “208V” for power supplies between 200 and 215 volts. Use the terminal marked “230V” for power supplies between 216 and 240 volts.
NOTE: TRANSFORMER MUST BE SET AT PROPER TAP FOR PROPER OPERATION.
Electrical Connections
Electrical power connections are made to the small terminal block located in the rear of the control trough. The terminal block is accessed by opening the top panel of the machine.
