A cold water supply with a minimum head of 0.2 to 10 bar is required. This is
connected to the units at the water control valve using a 15mm compression joint,
supplied with the machine. A stopcock should be fitted to the water supply.
The rate of water flow for the disposal of normal food waste is 14-18 litres per
minute for 700 Series machines. Adjust the water supply control valve to achieve
the desired flow rate.
These machines have approval from the Water Research Centre to be connected
to a potable water supply via a Class A air break or for connection to a storage
cistern by a distributing pipe to which no fittings for other purposes are connected.
Lincat can supply Class A air break parts if required.
All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and in accordance
with the IET Codes of Practice. Examine the rating plate attached to the motor to
ensure that the characteristics shown are correct for the supply available. The
cables fitted to the controller are the minimum required for individual connection to
the mains supply. Site conditions may vary with additional length of cable run,
encapsulation in trunking, bunched with other cables etc. Should this apply, the
electrician must alter the cable accordingly.
All machines are supplied with a starter with forward, reverse and stop buttons.
The starter also controls the water flow. This unit must be connected to the mains
supply using the starter provided. Omission of the starter eliminates overload
protection for the motor and will invalidate the guarantee.
The 700 Series Disposers should be connected to a 30A isolator providing at least
3mm separation in all poles. The table below illustrates typical fuse ratings for an
ambient temperature of 25°C to 35°C. Should the environment temperature be
greater than this, de-rate accordingly.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
If the supply cord becomes damaged it must be replaced by qualified electrician in
order to avoid a hazard.
