After draining, turn the Drain Handle to

the CLOSED position, in preparation of the next start-up. (See Fig. 34)

rev. 05042012 21 of 27

6. FUNCTIONS

.AUTOMATIC WATER FILL……..

When the Steam Generator is first turned on, the Main Water Solenoid (1-Fig. 35) will automatically fill the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 35) to the top and then close. It will maintain this level as long as there is a 10-80 PSI (0.7-5.5 BAR) Water Supply (3-Fig. 35) attached to the Water Inlet Connection (4-Fig. 35). If this water supply is ever removed, an inline Check Valve (5-Fig. 36) will prevent the water from flowing back out of the inlet.

There are four Reservoir Tank Probes

(1-Fig. 36) screwed into the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 36). The three that are used to control the water level are labeled G, B, and C. (See Fig. 36 & Table. 1)

If there is no connection between G and C

when the Steam Generator is turned on, the Main Water Solenoid (3-Fig. 36) will open and the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 36) will begin filling with water.

As the water level rises, it will make a

connection between G and B and continue to rise until there is a connection between G and C. Once the water level reaches the C probe, the Main Water Solenoid (3-Fig. 36) will close, and the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 36) will stop filling.

When the Boiler is turned on (See (BOILER)

(ON) Function), water will be pumped out of the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 36), causing the level to drop. Once the water level drops below the B probe, the Main Water Solenoid (3-Fig. 36) will reopen until the water level reaches the C probe again.

NOTE: As water is used, the water level will cycle between the B and C probes.

.OUT OF WATER……………….…..

When the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 38) is out of water, the (RED) (OUT OF WATER) Light (1-Fig. 37) will illuminate and the Boiler will be unable to turn on. There are four Reservoir Tank Probes

(1-Fig. 38) screwed into the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 38). The two probes that are used to sense the presence of water are labeled G and A. (See Fig. 38)

NOTE: For probe specifications, see (Table. 1) on the previous page.

If there is no connection between the G

and A probes, the (RED) (OUT OF WATER) Light (1-Fig. 37) will illuminate and the Boiler will be unable to turn on.

If the water level is high enough to make a

connection between the G and A probes, the (RED) (OUT OF WATER) Light (1-Fig. 37) will turn off and the Boiler will now have the ability to turn on.

.BOILER ON……………….…….…..

When the (GREEN) (BOILER ON) Switch (1-Fig. 39) is pressed, the boiler will turn on and the switch will light up. As long as the Reservoir Tank (2-Fig. 38) is NOT out of water (See (OUT OF WATER) Function), the boiler will automatically fill to the appropriate level of water and maintain that level. As long as the (AMBER) (RESET) Switch (2-Fig. 39) is not tripped (See (HIGH) (PRESSURE RESET) Function), the water will be heated to create steam. The steam pressure will climb to 160 PSI and maintain that pressure. (Approx. 371°F or 188°C)

rev. 05042012 23 of 27

6. FUNCTIONS (Cont.) There are three Boiler Probes (1-Fig. 40)

in the Boiler Chamber (2-Fig. 40); the A probe controls the low water cutoff for the Electric Heaters (3-Fig. 40) while the B and C probes control the water level. (See Fig. 41 & Table. 2)

NOTE: Unlike the Reservoir Tank (4-Fig. 40), the Boiler Chamber (2-Fig. 40) is made of metal and is therefore grounded. This means the water controls for the boiler can use the ground as a reference, instead of having to use a G probe.

If there is no connection between the

ground and C probe when the boiler is first turned on, the Boiler Water Solenoid (5-Fig. 40) will open and the Water Pump (6-Fig. 40) will pump water from the Reservoir Tank (4-Fig. 40) into the Boiler Chamber (2-Fig. 40).

When the water level is high enough to

make a connection between the ground and A probe, the Electric Heaters (3-Fig. 40) will turn on and begin heating.

NOTE: If the High Pressure Reset is tripped the Electric Heaters will be unable to turn on. (See (HIGH PRESSURE RESET))

As the water level rises, it will make a

connection between the ground and B probe. It will continue to rise until there is a connection between the ground and C probe. Once the water level reaches the C probe, it will stop filling.

When steam is eventually used, the water

level will drop. Once it drops below the B probe, it will fill back up to the C probe.

NOTE: The water level will cycle between the B and C probes during operation.

6. FUNCTIONS (Cont.) With the Electric Heaters (1-Fig. 43) on,

steam pressure will begin to accumulate in the Boiler Chamber (2-Fig. 43) and the temperature will rise, as shown on the Pressure Gauge (1-Fig. 42) and Temperature Indicator (2-Fig. 42).

Steam pressure and temperature will continue to rise until it reaches the set operating pressure of 160 PSI (11 BAR) (Approx. 371°F or 188°C). At this pressure, the “Control” Pressure Control (3-Fig. 43) will turn off the Electric Heaters (1-Fig. 43).

When steam is eventually used, the pressure will drop. When the pressure drops approximately 10 PSI (0.7 BAR), the “Control” Pressure Control (3-Fig. 43) will turn the Electric Heaters (1-Fig. 43) back on until the pressure reaches 160 PSI (11 BAR) again.

NOTE: The Electric Heaters (1-Fig. 43) will cycle on and off during operation.

WARNING: If the “Control” Pressure Control (3-Fig. 43) happens to fail and the pressure exceeds 160 PSI, the “Safety” Pressure Control (4-Fig. 43) will trip out the (AMBER) (RESET) Switch (3-Fig. 42) at 168 PSI (See (HIGH PRESSURE) (RESET) Function). This reset will turn off the Electric Heaters (1-Fig. 43) and keep them off until it is reset. The pressure must drop below 158 PSI before it can be reset.

WARNING: Although extremely rare and highly unlikely, if both Pressure Controls (1-Fig. 44) happen to fail and the pressure continues to rise, the Safety Valve (2-Fig. 44) will activate at 175 PSI (12 BAR), causing the Boiler Chamber (3-Fig. 44) to quickly depressurize. If this happens, very hot high pressure steam will exit the Safety Valve (2-Fig. 44) onto the floor.

6. FUNCTIONS (Cont.)

.HIGH PRESSURE RESET…….... The (AMBER) (RESET) Switch (1-Fig. 45) is also known as the High Pressure Reset. Its main function is to disable the Electric Heaters (1-Fig. 46) if the operating pressure ever exceeds 160 PSI (11 BAR). When activated, the (AMBER) (RESET) Switch (1-Fig. 45) will illuminate and the Electric Heaters (1-Fig. 46) will be unable to energize until it is manually reset, causing the (AMBER) light to go out.

NOTE: The High Pressure Reset will activate at 168 PSI and it cannot be reset until the pressure drops below 158 PSI (10.9 BAR). It will also be activated when the Steam Generator is initially turned on and must be reset before the Electric Heaters can begin heating.

The High Pressure Reset Function works by

detecting a loss of voltage from the “Safety” Pressure Control (2-Fig. 46). This can happen in one or two ways: If the power was simply turned off, or if the pressure reached 168 PSI (11.6 BAR), causing the “Safety” Pressure Control (2-Fig. 46) to interrupt the power.

.WAND ON……………………..….... The (WHITE) (WAND ON) Switch (1-Fig. 47) activates the Steam Gun (2-Fig. 47) when it is pressed and lit. If the Steam Regulator Valve (3-Fig. 47) is open and the Trigger (4-Fig. 47) is pulled, steam will flow out the nozzle of the gun. If the (RED) Solution Button (5-Fig. 47) is pressed while steam is being used, solution will be injected into the outgoing steam that is exiting the gun.

WARNING: NEVER open the Steam Regulator Valve or press the (WHITE) (WAND ON) Switch if the Steam Gun is NOT connected.

6. FUNCTIONS (Cont.) When the (WHITE) (WAND ON) Switch

(1-Fig. 47) is pressed and lit, 24VAC will be sent to the Steam Gun (1-Fig. 48).

When the Trigger (2-Fig. 48) is pulled, it

will send 24VAC to a solid state relay that will then relay 120VAC to the Steam Solenoid (3-Fig. 48), causing it to open. High pressure steam will then flow from the Boiler Chamber (4-Fig. 48), through the Steam Regulator Valve (5-Fig. 48), and then out the Steam Gun (1-Fig. 48).

NOTE: The Steam Regulator Valve can be adjusted to regulate the flow of steam during operation.

The (RED) Solution Button (1-Fig. 49) will

send 24VAC to a solid state relay that will then relay 120VAC to the Solution Pump (2-Fig. 49), causing it to turn on and pump the contents of the Solution Tank (3-Fig. 49) through the Solution Regulator Valve (4-Fig. 49), and then through an inline Check Valve (5-Fig. 49). The liquid will then mix with the high pressure steam before exiting the Steam Gun (6-Fig. 49).

NOTE: It may take a while for the solution to purge through the system.

The Solution Regulator Valve (1-Fig. 50)

can be adjusted to regulate the flow of solution during operation. This valve can only be accessed by removing the Left Panel (7-Fig. 49) of the Steam Generator.

The solution is injected into the outgoing

steam after the Steam Regulator Valve (8-Fig. 49). This means the solution cannot be restricted by this valve. In fact, restricting this valve will only cause the solution to steam ratio to increase.
