Chapter 3 Getting Started

Skilled Trades

Begin by referencing the startup checklist and supplied electrical drawings. You will notice that all
the first items focus on placement of electrical equipment. This is done so that you can get your
electrician started on the job as soon as possible. Typically, the electrical portion of the installation
is the most substantial.

Second to that is the plumbing work that must be performed. Our installation sequence is outlined
to get both trades started as soon as possible.

Equipment Locations

There are some variables that must be thoroughly understood prior to placement and installation
of the equipment. These variables are typically addressed in your site-specific drawings, supplied
by an Architect or your Belanger® Representative.

Some of the variables to consider prior to installing the equipment include:

•

Bay Length:

The length of the bay can vary considerably and have a dramatic effect on equipment

placement. For example, a very short bay may force signage to be installed outside the building.

•

Bay Width and Height:

There is no maximum bay width or height, but there are minimum requirements

to install a FreeStyler®.

Reference the Support Documents included at the end of this manual to assist with installation.
Use the drawing diagram that best fits your site layout. If your layout is not represented in these
diagrams and/or you do not have site specific drawings, please contact your Belanger®
Representative or Belanger® Technical Support at 248-349-7010 for assistance.

•

Door Width and Centerline of Building -

Although rare, door widths less than 10 feet can affect

equipment placement and overall site performance. In cases where the door is not on centerline with
the building, equipment placement can be affected.

•

Back Room Equipment -

There is some flexibility when installing back-room support equipment, but

keep in mind the following guidelines. Short runs from the Pumping Station and Solution Delivery
Modules optimize performance. Proper equipment placement can reduce utility costs and minimize
obstacles. Typical equipment found in the back room includes: FreeStyler® Electrical Panels, Pumping

Station, SDM Solution Delivery Pumps, Water Softener, Spot Free (RO) System with Tank, and an Air
Compressor. Additionally, the backroom may also have to accommodate a Boiler for hot water, a boiler

for slab heat, and/or a reclaim system. Placement of these items is just as important as the equipment in
the bay; therefore, you should plan accordingly.

Establishing an Origin in the Bay

The placement of the FreeStyler® in the bay requires several considerations. Allow space for the
Undercarriage Wash, Photo-Eyes, Support Legs, manifold travel, signage, drip space, and doors.
