Pump Pressure Gauge:
During normal operation, when the pump is running, the pump pressure gauge should read approximately
180 psi. Under no circumstances should the pump pressure ever exceed 200 psi.
Control Panel
The control panel is designed to provide important information about
SteamerGard™
water quality and
storage tank pressure, as well as to provide a manual system bypass to revert the steamer to tap water
operation should overuse or a malfunction cause the storage tank(s) to become depleted. The Water Quality
Monitor is activated by pushing the red button on the panel. A red or green light will glow, indicating water
quality. Should the storage tank pressure fall below 20 psi, it is recommended to manually bypass over to
tap water until the
SteamerGard™
unit refills the storage tank.
Control Panel Controls and Monitors
Manual Bypass Valve:
During normal operation, the manual bypass valve handle must be turned fully clockwise
(SteamerGard™
position). In the unlikely event that the
SteamerGard™
unit becomes inoperative or its capacity is exceeded,
the manual bypass valve allows the
SteamerGard™
system to be bypassed, providing untreated tap water
to the steamer until repairs can be made. To use the manual bypass valve, turn the handle fully clockwise so
that the handle points to the "bypass" position. Once necessary repairs are made, the handle must be
returned to the fully clockwise position, indicating that the steamer is once again being supplied with purified
water.
IMPORTANT:
If the manual bypass must be used to ensure continued use of the steamer, the
SteamerGard™
system must be serviced immediately. Continued operation of the steamer
in the bypass (tap water) mode may result in damage to the steamer.
Tank Pressure Gauge:
This gauge will register at least 20 psi pressure when the storage tank is filled with enough water to operate
the steamer. If the gauge reads less than 30 - 40 psi, the
SteamerGard™
unit will be in the operating mode.
If the gauge reads 50 - 60 psi, the storage tank will be filled and the
SteamerGard™
unit will be in the "stand
ready" mode. In the unlikely event that the pressure falls so low that the steamer will not operate normally,
the manual bypass should be turned to the "bypass" position.
Water
Quality Button:
When this button is pushed, either a red or a green light will glow, indicating the quality of the water
produced by the
SteamerGard™
unit. This test should be performed at least once a month. Refer to the
Maintenance section for procedure.
