How the Quattro works
Quattro consists of an electric motor which drives a pulveriser, with a separate water pump that flushes the
hopper and outlet pipe-work.
Water is supplied via mains supply or a storage tank through an inlet solenoid valve. It uses cold water only.
The solenoid valve is operated by the machine’s printed circuit board (PCB) which receives a signal from a level
switch mounted in the cistern. The water is drawn from the cistern by a separate pump and is discharged via the
plumbing system into the machine. A measured quantity of deodoriser is fed into the plumbing towards the end
of the cycle.
The internal surfaces of the lid and hopper are automatically washed down by the spray from a vent centrally
mounted on the underside of the lid.
Switching on the wall isolator actuates the microprocessor which performs a safety monitoring assessment of
the condition of the machine before the green ready to run light illuminates. The machine is now ready to start a
cycle of operation.
The electrical safety system is continuously monitored by the internal microprocessor.
If a problem occurs, cycle termination devices end the cycle of operation and the respective warning or fault
light will illuminate. For operation refer to the indicator panel.
This machine is a Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), approved product
with protection from contamination to the water supply provided by an Air gap to EN
13077, Family A, Type B.
The pulveriser
The pulveriser consists of an impeller rotating at high speed within a toothed cutter ring which forms the lower
part of the stainless steel hopper assembly.
The impeller is fitted with two sweep blades which pulp the bedpans and urine bottles before the pulp passes on
through the disposer.
•
Dispose of pulp products only
e.g. bedpans and urine bottles.
•
The machine is not designed to dispose of dressings, swabs, gloves etc as
these will jam the
machine.
Should an unsuitable object have been inadvertently placed in the machine and the impeller become jammed,
the motor overload trip will operate to stop the machine and the red fault light will illuminate.
Always isolate the machine from mains electrical supply before servicing.
Remove the object and ensure the impeller is free to rotate. The overload trip device within the control box will
automatically reset. Close and latch the lid.
