3P-Series Installation Specifications
 
 
CONCRETE PAD:
The dimensions of the concrete pad will vary depending on the layout of the equipment chosen. It is recommended to have a minimum of 5 ft. clearance in front of the sterilizers for loading and a minimum of 3 ft. behind the chambers for access. The length should be 5 ft. greater than the combined length of the San-I-Pak 200/300 Sterilizers. “The concrete pad must be level, with no more than 1/2" slope side to side, or end to end.“ If the San-I-Pak will be mounted on a dock, the dock must also be level. If there will be variations, call the factory for assistance in determining suitability. If a pad is already present at the proposed installation site, insure it conforms with the standards above.

ANCHORING:
The San-I-Pak equipment will be anchored to the concrete pad using either 5/8" x 4-1/2" or 3/4" x 6" long anchor bolts. Ramset Trubolt anchors or equal will be used. The holes will be drilled in the concrete after the San-I-Pak equipment is placed in position. The holes in the base plates are oversized to permit the use of a concrete drill. The installation personnel will shim to compensate for any pad unevenness and then tighten all nuts securely.

ELECTRICAL:
The San-I-Pak has two different voltage requirements. The control circuit is 120 VAC and should be a minimum of 10 amps. If the San-I-Pak installed cold weather package is used, the service must be a minimum of 20 amps. The hydraulics for the unit can be powered either by 120VAC or 240VAC single phase service, or 208VAC, 240VAC, or 480VAC three phase. The power requirements are as follows:

SINGLE PHASE:
Voltage: Actual Amperage Service Requirement
120VAC 16 amps 25 amps
240VAC 8 amps 15 amps

THREE PHASE :
Voltage: Actual Amperage Service Requirement
208VAC 4.2 amps 10 amps
240VAC 3.6 amps 10 amps
480VAC 1.8 amps 5 amps

The electrical should be stubbed up as shown in the enclosed installation drawing. The electrical can be run from overhead and attached to the San-I-Pak as long as it doesn't interfere with access to the sterilizer's componentry. After the San-I-Pak has been installed, run the power lines between the fused disconnect switch (customer furnished) and the San-I-Pak equipment electrical panel box, in accordance with local codes. The fused disconnect should be sized in accordance with the preceding specifications.

STEAM SUPPLY :
The San-I-Pak requires a minimum steam pressure of 65 psig, and is capable of handling a maximum of 125 psig. You are only required to install a pressure regulating valve (PRV) in the steam line if your pressure is above 125 psig. If your steam pressure is below 125 psig, do not install a PRV in the line. A return condensate line is not required. All condensate is cooled and discharged to the sanitary sewer.

A 1" insulated steam line is required for systems with 1 to 3 sterilizer chambers & a 1-1/2" insulated steam line is required for systems with 4 to 8 sterilizer chambers.

The San-I-Pak requires a minimum of 97% to 100% saturated steam, poor quality steam is evidenced by excessive condensate generated during sterilization. It is required that a shut off valve and a pressure gauge be installed at the point of connection. The steam line is typically stubbed up through the concrete pad. If this is not possible, the steam line may also be run from overhead and attached to the San-I-Pak so as not to interfere with the removal of access panels.

The San-I-Pak unit comes equipped with an inlet strainer and separate water trap to improve steam quality in the supply line, but if you have a long run of piping, it is advisable to install a drip leg with an additional bucket or thermostatic trap. Insure the steam line has no low spots that may act as a water trap. The steam should be generated from treated boiler water to prevent corrosion and/or buildup in the lines.

WATER SUPPLY :
System requires 1/2" water line at a minimum of 30-65 psi.

DRAIN:
A floor mount drain should be installed beneath the San-I-Pak near the connection point of the condensate tank. Typically this will connect to a sanitary drain line. For any variances, contact the factory. A 2" copper or black pipe drain line will be connected to the condensate tank and plumbed so as not to create any back pressure. All condensate will exit from this line.

PHONE LINE:
The PLC with remote diagnostic capability is standard on all sterilizer & compactor systems. A dedicated phone line, separate from the facility's switchboard, must be installed into the electrical cabinet. The phone jack must be a standard A T & T plug in type (Part Number RJ11C). This is for the modem communication for troubleshooting assistance and/or the optional ServNet programming. Note: Warranty not activated until modem is connected.
