Franke KEP ACSL Serie Installation

DRINKING FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION
For all universal split level KEP( )ACSL series
A. INSPECTION
Inspect the water cooler, water fountain and cartons for evidence of rough handling and concealed damage. Damage claims should be
filed with the carrier.
B. TO PUT WATER COOLER AND FOUNTAIN INTO SERVICE
1. NOTE: Provincial and local plumbing code may prohibit the use of saddle tapping valves for water line connection in some applica-
tions. All connections must conform to applicable plumbing codes.
2. The KEP8ACSL is composed of a water cooler and a water fountain. The water cooler contains the refrigeration system and is
always mounted on the right side. This unit can be configured with the water cooler high or low. Refer to the proper roughing in
drawing for location of plumbing and electrical service.
3. FLUSH BUILDING WATER SUPPLY BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT.
4. Install wall hangers as shown on the desired roughing in drawing. Wall hangers are shipped fastened to the backs of the unit. Units
with factory installed filters have additional instructions on a label inside of the access panel. Read these before installing the unit.
5. This unit has been factory assembled for right side high installation. To convert for right side low installation:
a) Remove the patch plate from the left side panel of the water cooler and install on the right side panel of the water
fountain reusing the two mounting screws. The two bottom screws from each side panel may be temporarily removed
to improve access.
b) Remove the screws holding the waste drain tubes from the cooler tops. The shorter drain will be used on the water
cooler and the longer drain will be used on the water fountain. Make sure that the waste drain gaskets are properly
installed.
6. Mount the water cooler on the right hanger.
7. Straighten the inlet "Water In" tube in the water fountain. Mount the water fountain on left side hanger while routing the "Water
In" tube through the access hole to the water cooler. Remove the plug from the "Drain/Remote Cold Water" connection and insert
the "Water In" tube.
8. All provided waste drain parts for field installation are packed in the water fountain. Assemble the drain per the appro-
priate roughing in drawing. The short leg of the crossover piece will be on the water cooler side. When the unit has an
internal waste trap, the trap should be wrapped with insulating tape to prevent sweating. The use of the 1 3/4" knockout
for a waste line is not recommended because of a potential conflict with ADA* toe space requirements. Check with your
local building code inspector for approval.
9. Install a shut off valve in water supply line. Remove the strainer from the cooler "Water Supply" tube. Solder 3/8" inlet tube exten-
sion (furnished) with lead free solder to "Water Supply" tube and insert the strainer in open end of extension. Connect extension
to shut off valve to allow access to strainer for service, this connection should not be a solder or flare joint. To ease removal of the
strainer, a sheet metal screw may be lightly threaded into the open end.
10. Rotate the fan blade by hand to see that it is free of obstructions.
11. Check the available power supply against the water cooler data plate to assure correct electrical service. This drinking water
cooler is intended to be connected to a 20A minimum ground fault circuit interrupting (GFCI) device to meet UL requirements.
Plug power supply cord into wall outlet. The rear most 1 3/8" diameter knockout in the frame bottom is for an externally located
electrical supply. Make sure the knockout hole edge is smooth and free of any burrs. Use of a Heyco busing #2184 in the knocked
out hole is recommended in order to prevent damage to the service cord and to close up excess opening around the cord. Route
the cord so it does not interfere with ADA* space requirements.
12. To fill the cold water tank on the water cooler, open the water supply line shut-off and push any one of the front pushbuttons to
allow water to flow to the bubbler.
13. To adjust bubbler stream:
All pushbutton models are equipped with a cartridge regulator. The KEP8ACSL and KEPACSL have a slot in the shelf below the
pushbuttons. Insert a screwdriver in this slot to adjust regulator. Turn adjustment clockwise to increase stream height. To access
the KEPV8ACSL adjustment, remove the bezel and button from the front of the cooler.
