Manual 41-DURABLUE-MA-02
Electrical Power
Before installing the melter, ensure that the melter will not be overloaded
and that the plant’s electrical service is rated to handle the power required
by the melter and the hoses and guns that you plan to use.
Refer to Appendix A, Calculating Melter Power Requirements, for
information about how to calculate the maximum allowable hose lengths
and gun wattages that can be used in your manufacturing application.
WARNING: Risk of electrocution! Install a lockable power disconnect
switch between the electrical service and the melter. Failure to install or
properly use the disconnect switch when servicing the melter can result in
personal injury, including death.
Other Considerations
Consider the following additional factors when determining where to install
the melter.
S The maximum distance between the melter and each gun is dictated by
the power requirement of each hose. Refer to Appendix A, Calculating
Melter Power Requirements for information about how to determine the
maximum allowable length.
S The operator must be able to safely reach the control panel and
accurately monitor the control panel indicators.
S The operator must be able to safely observe the level of hot melt inside
the tank.
S The melter must be installed away from areas with strong drafts or
where sudden temperature changes occur.
S The melter must be installed where it will be in conformance with the
ventilation requirements specified in the Material Safety Data Sheet for
the hot melt being used.
