SITE ASSESSMENT SECTION

WATER SYSTEM

• Filters: Coarse? ____ Taste/Odor? ____ Scale Inhibitor? ____

• Is water main ½ inch I.D. minimum? ____

• Pressure Static? ____

• Pressure Flowing?____

• Length of run? ___

• Shut off valve? ____

• Back flow prevention? ____

• Is water softened? ____

• Is water line connected to a water heater? ____

• Perform water test to insure that the minimum flow and pressure requirements are met or exceeded.

SYRUP SYSTEM

• Is there adequate space available for the number of boxes required to supply all valves?

• Is there room for extra boxes and change over valves?

• Is there space to mount the syrup pumps level with the boxes or above them?

• Distance between the boxes and pumps should not be greater then 10 feet, vertical rise should not be

more then five feet.

• Minimum tubing size between the pumps and unit is 3/8 I.D.

• Syrup viscosities are affected by temperature 50 degree ambient or above is recommended.

• Some units require higher flowing pressures then others (e.g. The Pinnacle FCB requires 45 p.s.i.g.

flowing pressure at the unit.)

If you suspect syrup supply problems, tee a pressure gauge into the supply line just before it inters the

unit. Start the Blendonator and read the pressure gauge while the product pump is running, the gauge

should not drop below 45p.s.i.g. if the flowing pressure is adequate.

BACKUP CO

FOR BULK SYSTEM

• Bulk tanks require Secondary Regulators; maximum inlet pressure should not exceed 200 p.s.i.g.

• High pressure tanks require Primary Regulators; inlet pressure must be 500 p.s.i.g. minimum.

• Supply lines longer then 100 feet require 3/8 ID tubing.

3/8 tubing should be used on all new installations.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

• Is there a dedicated electrical circuit for each of the dispensers or ice makers?

• Is there an outlet within 6 feet of the dispenser or ice maker?

• Is the outlet polarity correct with a good ground connection?

COUNTER

• Are the counters large enough for the unit foot print, considered power cord, supply lines and Air flow

if applicable?

• Will the counters support the weight of the dispenser and ice maker?

• If the unit is an ice cooled drop in, is there room between the counter top and the floor for the ice bin?
