B. Site Survey - determining the best location for install There are several factors that go into determining the best location for the installation of ScaleBlaster. The installation involves mounting the ScaleBlaster power box on a wall and wrapping a signal cable around the outside of the incoming pipeline and connecting it to the power box. 1.
B. Site Survey (continued) 2. Locating a place to install the power unit The power unit should be mounted on a wall or other solid surface within five (5) feet from an electrical outlet and within ten (10) feet from where the pipe will be wrapped and in a well ventilated area. We recommend the average air temperature to operate ScaleBlaster at 32 to 122 degrees F. Can be installed on a horizontal or vertical pipe. Install power unit in a well ventilated area.
C. Mounting the Power Unit The unit must be mounted indoors, in an upright vertical position, on a wall or other non-enclosed area where it is well ventilated. We recommend the average air temperature to operate ScaleBlaster at 32 to 122 degrees F. HOLES FOR MOUNTING The picture to the far right shows the location of the mounting holes. The installer will need to supply the mounting screws for the type of surface the unit will be mounted on. A # 8 screw works best. D.
E. Wrapping the Signal Cable (continued) 1. After you have inserted the pre-stripped end of the signal cable into one of the two terminal posts, route the signal cable to the inlet pipe. Hold the cable parallel and next to the pipe. 2. Strap on one of the cable ties tightly around the pipe so that the signal cable is secured to the pipe. Do not trim cable until step 10. 3. Wrap the loose end of the signal cable securely around the pipe – in any one direction. 4.
E. Wrapping the Signal Cable (continued) First layer wrapping direction 7. Once the first layer of wrapping is completed, strap on a second cable tie at the end of the wrappings, securing the signal cable tightly and in place on the pipe. Never overwrap the amount of wrappings required. 8. Continue the wrapping around the pipe and go right over the top of the first layer - continuing in the same direction around the pipe as the first layer – clockwise or counterclockwise.
F. Activating the System 1. Once everything has been completed in Steps A-E of this manual, insert the connector end of the AC power adapter into the power unit. 2. Plug in the transformer end of the AC power adapter into a 110VAC electrical outlet. 3. Operation of the SB-75 system can be confirmed by observing the illumination of the LED indicator located on the face of the power unit. 4. When the unit has been plugged in, the far right green LED will stay lit up all the time. 5.
