Mains connection

See technical data and rating plate for connected load.

Warning!

It is not permissible to exceed the maximum permissible mains impedance at the electrical terminal (see Technical Data).

— Continuous operation is more detrimental than operation interrupted by breaks.

We recommend a medical examination if the unit is regularly used for extensive, continuous operation and the corresponding symptoms (such as, for example, pins and needles in fingers or cold fingers) are recurrentp.

Warning!

Whenever socket is changed, check direction of rotation of motor

— If direction of rotation is correct, powerful jet of air will be felt at exhaust-gas opening of burner.

— If the direction of rotation is wrong: Change the poles at the unit plug. See Fig. 18.

When an extension cable is used it should always be complety unwound and have an adequate cross-section.

Operation

Warning!

(Applies only to HDS Super M / MX Eco)

Lengthy operation of the unit can lead to vibration-related circulatory disturbances of the hands.

A generally valid use duration cannot be specified, since this is dependent upon several influence factors:

— Personal predisposition to bad circulation(frequent suffering from cold fingers, pins and needles in fingers).

— In low ambient temperatures. Wear warm gloves to keep hands warm.

— Gripping tightly impedes circulation.

General notes

Safety features

Overflow valve with two pressure switches

— When reducing water volume at pump head or with the servopress control, the overflow valve will open and part of the water will flow back to the pump suction side.

— If the handgun is closed off so that all the water flows back to the pump suction side, the pressure switch at the overflow valve turns off the pump.

— Reopening the handgun causes the pressure switch at the cylinder head to switch the pump back on again.

The overflow valve is set at the factory and lead-sealed. Adjustment can only be made by After-Sales Service.

Safety valve

— The safety valve opens if the overflow valve or pressure switch is defective.

The safety valve is set at the factory and sealed. Adjustment can only be made by

After-Sales Service.

Low water protection

— The low water protection prevents the burner switching on when water is insufficient.

— A strainer prevents dirt accumulation on the protection and must be regularly cleaned.

Motor protection switch

— The motor protection switch interrupts the circuit should overloading occur.

Switching on procedures

— Switching on procedures generate brief voltage drops.

— Impairments of other appliances can occur in cases of unfavourable mains conditions.

— No problems are to be expected with a mains impedance of less than 0,15 ohm.
