INSTALLATION & STARTUP

Chapter 3 Getting Started

Skilled Trades
Begin by referencing the startup checklist and supplied electrical drawings. You will notice that all
of the first items focus on placement of electrical equipment. This is done so that you can get
your electrician started on the job as soon as possible. Typically the electrical portion of the
installation is the most substantial. Second to that is the plumbing work that must be performed.
Our installation sequence is outlined to get both of these trades started as soon as possible

Equipment Locations

There are some variables that must be thoroughly understood prior to placement and installation
of the equipment. These variables are typically addressed in your site specific drawings, supplied
by an Architect or your Belanger Representative.
Some of the variables to consider prior to installing the equipment include:

· Mounting Style: Is my system a Wall Mount or Floor Mount?

· Bay Length: The length of the bay can vary considerably and have a dramatic effect
on equipment placement. For example, a very short bay may not allow for a dryer.
This same bay may also force signage to be installed outside the building.
You may reference the Support Documents included at the end of this manual to assist with the
installation. Use the drawing diagram that best fits your site layout. If your layout is not
represented in these diagrams and/or you have not received site specific drawings please
contact your Belanger Representative or Belanger Technical Support at 248-349-7010 for
assistance.
· Door Width and Centerline of Building - Although rare, door widths less than 10'
can affect equipment placement and overall site performance. In cases where the
door is not on centerline with the building, equipment placement can be affected.
· Reservoir and Wall Manifold - The Wall Manifold can be located in the bay near the
boom assembly, or can be mounted in the back room. If the back room is located
next to the bay, these items are best placed in the back room. However, if the back
room is of greater distance, the Reservoir and Wall Manifold MUST be placed near
the Boom, in a heated area. If there are large distances between the boom assembly
and the Wall Manifold, performance will be degraded.

· Back Room Equipment - There is some flexibility when installing back room support
equipment, but keep in mind the following guidelines. Short runs from the Pumping
Station and Solution Delivery Modules to the Wall Manifold optimize performance.
Proper equipment placement can reduce utility costs and minimize obstacles. Typical
equipment found in the back room includes; Saber® Electrical Panels, Pumping
Station, Solution Delivery Module (SDM), Water Softener, Spot Free (RO) System
with Tank, and an Air Compressor. Additionally, the backroom may also have to
accommodate a Boiler for hot water, a boiler for slab heat, and possibly a reclaim
system. Placement of these items is just as important as the equipment in the bay,
therefore you should plan accordingly.

Establishing an Origin in the Tunnel

The placement of the Saber® down the tunnel requires several considerations. Allow space for
the Undercarriage Wash and/or Rocker Blasters/Rocker Spin Cleans, Photo-Eyes, Support Legs,
manifold travel, signage, drip space, Dryers and doors.
You may reference clearance requirements on the Support Documents included at the end of this
manual for further details.
