Note:
•
The drinking water mains valve and
the circuit breakers for the electrical
system need to be located in the most
convenient position for the operator to
access them easily and quickly.
1) Power Switch Function
The two-position power switch on the
Modbar module front panel has two
separate functions: ON and OFF.
0 - Off: In this position, the
module is in the off position.
I - Standby Mode: In this position, the module
is in standby mode. When in standby
mode, all operations function as normal,
but no power is applied to the heating
elements. This mode is used for priming
the system upon installation, and can also
be useful for some diagnostic applications.
II - Operating Mode: In this position, the
module is in operating mode. Power is
applied to the heating elements, and all
functions operate as normal.

2) Installation guide
Upon installation, the Modbar module must
be primed before use. This is accomplished
by the following steps.
• Ensure that filtered water is supplied to
the module.
• Ensure that the power switch is in the off
position.
• Ensure that the module power cable is
plugged into its appropriate power source.
• Turn the power switch counter-clockwise
to place it in standby mode.
• The module will begin to fill the boiler.
Once the maximum fill level is achieved,
the module will cease to fill. When full,
the sight glass will be approximately half
full of water.
• At this point, it is safe to turn the switch
clockwise into operating mode.
3) General Use
During general use, the module is already
primed, and it is not necessary to prime the
system. To start the module, follow these
steps:
• Ensure that filtered water is supplied to
the module.
• From the off position, turn the power
switch clockwise to place it into operating
mode.
• At this point, the elements will begin to
heat. When each heat zone reaches set
temperature, the module is ready for use.
4) Accessories
In order to proceed with installation, it is
necessary that the following are available:
•
Pipes carrying drinking water with a
3/8"G (BSP) end connection; (3/8"
Compression for USA and Canada)
•
Electrical Supply according to the
specification of the steam machine
purchased:
•
Single/Three phase 220VAC - 50/60
Hz electrical connection with ground,
protected socket and approved interlock
switch
•
Single phase 200VAC - 50/60 Hz
electrical
connection
with
protected socket and approved interlock
switch
•
Waste water drain system.
5) Water test kit
In order to enable you to check if your water
supply is within the suggested ranges, the
machines will be equipped with two units
of a quick water test kit (see image below)
including 6 test-strips and instruction cards.
The parameters that you can measure are
