║ Requirements & Working Place ║ Daily Maintenance ║ Filter Bowl Cleaning ║

│Introduction│Chemical Transfer│ Pressure Extinguisher Service│Cartridge Extinguisher Service│Trouble Shooting│

REQUIREMENTS• Power supply: 115V, 5A, 60Hz• Factory setting shut-off pressure is -21”Hg by default• Use Transfer System for one class of chemical only• Do not knock the vaccu-chamber wall, deformation of vaccu-chamber can cause

a implosion• Only use automatic clean to empty filter bowl• Open filter bowl only to change filter element • Do not use Transfer System in humid, dusty areas

WORKING PLACE• Do not store Transfer System in varying temperature and humidity locations.• Do not use Transfer System in humid or dusty areas• Temperature of working place should be stable and be around 18-25°C• Extinguisher temperature should be the same as working place before performing

maintenance.

IMPORTANT STATEMENT• The “Tritop Inc.” Dry Chemical Transfer System is a sealed system designed to

control all aspects of Dry Chemical Control from one recipient to another by means of …”Vacuum differential”.

• It has adjustable automatic fill level and self cleaning features.• Users following the enclosed listed requirements and operating instructions should

have no reason to remove or alter any facet other than accidental breakage.



Exit

RECOMMENDED DAILY MAINTENANCE

Beginning day 1.Run a filter bowl cleaning cycle to decrease the compacting of chemical in vaccu-chamber (allow the Transfer System to shut-off automatically) 2.Run a filling cycle with a small bottle (approx 8oz) to open up possible blocking.

End Day Run a filter bowl cleaning cycle to remove remaining chemical in filter bowl.

FILTER BOWL CLEANING OPERATION

Important Do not allow level of chemical in filter bowl to increase beyond the filter bottom. Cleaning of the filter bowl prior to reaching filter element ensures good performance of the System.

Automatic cleaning of filter bowl (Back-wash) 1.Transfer System must in Initial Position 2.Turn control valve to “IN”, press start switch, filter bowl will be empty after automatic shut-off.

Manual cleaning of filter bowl 1.Transfer System must in Initial Position 2.Turn control valve to “IN”, press start switch 3.Allow vacuum to increase to -15”Hg on vacuum gauge, then turn control valve to “OFF” 4 .When system shuts off, Immediately turn control valve to “IN”. ( If filter bowl does not empty, repeat operation).

Initial Position: Control Valve is in “OFF” position. Chamber Inlet is coupled to quick connect plug located on adapter storage rack.. Stopper is installed on Extinguisher fill head.

║ Basic Operations ║ Extraction Wand (in) ║ Extractor (in) ║ Recovery Unit (out) ║


Overview and Basic Operations

1. Start Switch turn on power train when pressed.

2. Vacuum Gauge indicates actual pressure in vacuum pump (power-train).

3. Vacuum Set Switch allow to adjust Shut-Off pressure with a flat head screw driver.

4. Control Valve allow to select different operations of the Transfer System. • ‘OFF’ position use to turn-off the Transfer System. • ‘IN’ position use to transfer of chemical into Vaccu-Chamber. • ‘OUT’ position use to transfer of chemical from Vaccu-Chamber

Use the EXTRACTION WAND to transfer of chemical from container into VACCU-CHAMBER

1. Turn control valve to “IN”

2. Press start switch

3. Uncouple Inlet assembly at vacuum inlet and couple to extraction wand

4. Rest wand tip on surface of powder, letting suction drag wand to bottom. Repeat several times then move wand in circular motion to pick up loosened remaining powder

Transfer of chemical into VACCU-CHAMBER through EXTRACTOR

1. Raise extractor cone; place uncovered pail on stand; lower extractor cone and clamp firmly to top of pail, ensuring a tight seal

2. Turn control valve to “IN” position, push start switch

3. Remove plug from extractor outlet and couple to vacuum inlet

4. Swivel the assembly to permit chemical transfer to the vaccu-chamber When transfer complete, (vacuum gauge pressure returns to pre transfer level). Return cradle assembly to up-right position. Unscrew union and check outlet screen .Switch to off and return modules to their respective locations. If transfer not completed within 70 seconds, return cradle assembly to upright position and carry out screen inspection.

5. Turn control valve to “OFF” when finished

6. Remove inlet assembly; replace plug on extractor; return pail to upright position and lock in place; raise extractor cone to remove pail

Use POWDER RECOVERY UNIT to remove of chemical from VACCU-CHAMBER to storage pail

1. Open PRU lid, insert empty pail inside the recovery unit and close lid

2. Turn control valve to “OUT” and press start switch

3. Place the extinguisher fill head on powder recovery unit an hold until a seal has been established. (System will stop when pail is full or fill head will dislodge if vaccu-chamber is empty)

4. Remove extinguisher fill head (Allow powder to settle before opening lid)

BASIC EMPTYING OPERATION: Discharge a pressure extinguisher into VACCU-CHAMBER

1. Remove extinguisher hose or nozzle, install adapter. Couple pressure inlet to adapter

2. Turn control valve to “IN” and press start switch

3. Begin discharge at -10 to -15Hg (A small drop on gauge during discharge indicates a bottom out level of pressure. When gauge rises again slightly, pressure in extinguisher has moved from a positive to a negative pressure.)

4. Detach chamber fill inlet(Test the extinguisher outlet with a fingertip to ensure extinguisher is in a state of vacuum and the extinguisher is now empty)

Adjusting Shut-Off pressure

System Shut-Off point (-21”Hg Set by default)

1. Decrease the shut-off point by adjusting vacuum set switch with a flat screw driver (haft turn counter-clockwise)


3. Turn control valve slowly to “OFF” direction until vacuum gauge indicates -21”Hg (by default)

4. Turn flat head screw driver clockwise direction until power turns off

║ Shut-off pressure ║ Filter bowl ║ Filling Problem ║ Power Train Problem ║ Remove Control Panel & Power Train ║ Change filter element ║

Note: decreasing shut-off point lowers level of chemical fill



Exit

Chemical over filled FILTER BOWL

1. Lower shut-off pressure by adjusting vacuum set switch with a flat screw driver minimum 1 turn in counter-clockwise (to allow power train run without automatic shut-off)

2. Turn control valve to ‘IN’ position, press start switch

3. Allow power train run for minimum of thee minutes to achieve maximum build-up of vacuum in vaccu-chamber

4. Disconnect power supply cord (for shut down)

5. Wait for chemical to evacuate from filter bowl into vaccu-chamber

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 if filter bowl does not clean completely

7. Re-adjust shut-off point to -21”Hg after clean out operation




Exit

FAQ on filling operation

Adjusting Extinguisher fill level

• Lower shut-off point to lower fill level in extinguisher

• Increase shut-off point to increase fill level in extinguisher

Will not fill extinguisher (possible causes)

• Improper seal between cylinder neck and fill head. (adjust filling position)

• Vaccu-chamber is empty (add chemical)

• Shut-off pressure is to high (adjust to -21”Hg)

• Extinguisher fill head blocked (Disconnect and clean with air gun)

• Foreign matter (Caked Powder) blocked vaccu-chamber outlet (contact Tritop Inc.)




POWER TRAIN Problem

• Power train should be free from dust and humidity

No vacuum

• Ensure stopper on fill head

• Check rubber disc seal correctly safety outlet on chamber’s cover

• Wrong connection of tubing

Power train slow or jammed

• Chemical enter in power train

(contact Tritop inc. for information)
