IMPORTANT ALL SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON

HANGER BRACKETS & TRAP INSTALLATION

  1. Remove hanger bracket fastened to back of cooler by removing one (1) screw.

  2. Mount the hanger bracket and trap as shown in Figure 2.
    NOTE : Hanger Bracket MUST be supported securely. Add fixture support carrier if wall will not provide adequate support.
    IMPORTANT :

    • 4 1/8 in. (105mm) dimension from wall to center-line of trap must be maintained for proper fit.
    • Anchor hanger securely to wall using all five (5) 7/16″ dia. mounting holes.
  3. Install straight valve for 3/8″ O.D. tube.
    INSTALLATION OF COOLER

  4. Hang the cooler on the hanger bracket. Be certain the hanger bracket is engaged properly in the slots on the cooler back as shown in Fig. 4.

  5. Loosen the two (2) screws holding the lower front panel at the bottom of cooler base and two (2) screws at the top. Remove the front panel and set aside.

  6. Connect water inlet line–See Note 4 of General Instructions.

  7. Remove the slip nut and gasket from the trap and install them on the cooler waste line making sure that the end of the waste line fits into the trap. Assemble the slip nut and gasket to the trap and tighten securely.
    STARTUP
    Also See General Instructions

  8. Stream height is factory set for 45-50 PSI supply. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, adjust screw, accessible by removing front push panel (Item 35 , Fig. 4). CW adjustment will raise stream and CCW adjustment will lower stream. For best adjustment, stream should hit basin approximately 6-1/2” (165mm) from bubbler.

  9. Replace the front panel and secure by retighten-ing four (4) screws.

  10. If a taste, odor or sediment problem is prevalent, try installing our water filter module.

Bottle Filler Installation Instructions

  1. Remove two (2) mounting screws with 5/32” Allen wrench holding top cover to Bottle Filler (See Fig. 9). Remove top cover. Note do not discard mounting screws, they will be needed to reinstall top cover.

  2. Remove wall mounting plate from Bottle Filler. Place wall plate against wall on top of basin. Center the wall plate side to side with the basin. Mark the six (6) mounting holes with a pencil (See Fig. 6).

  3. Remove wall mounting plate from wall. NOTE: Mounting plate MUST be supported securely. Add fixture support carrier if wall will not provide adequate support.

  4. Install wall mounting plate to wall using six (6) 7/16” obround mounting holes (mounting bolts not included) (See Fig. 6). Use appropriate fasteners for your wall type.

  5. Feed power cord & 3/8” water line through hole in tower/basin gasket (See Fig 8).

  6. Install gasket on bottom of bottle filler tower with gasket support bracket and (2) screws (See Fig 9).

  7. Lay Bottle Filler on water cooler basin and cut insulation from tube even with bottom of gasket, remove this insulation from the 3/8” tube, but do not discard.
    Feed the power cord and waterline through the hole on top of water cooler. NOTE: To prevent scratching the basin place a towel or soft cloth over the entire basin when working above it.

  8. With the power cord and waterline through hole on top of water cooler place Bottle Filler on the three (3) angled tabs protruding from the wall mounting plate installed on wall. Make sure round boss in gasket fits in hole of basin. (See Fig. 12).

  9. Once Bottle Filler is installed on wall plate tabs, water line and power cord are installed properly, push top of Bottle Filler toward wall and line up top cover two (2) holes.

  10. Reinstall Top Cover on Bottle Filler (See Fig. 7) with two mounting screws from step 1 above. Caution, do not over tighten screws.

  11. Install remaining tube insulation to the water line from bottle filler, connect Bottle Filler waterline inside of the water cooler by connecting the 3/8” water line to the tee.

  12. Install filter cartridge, remove filter from carton, remove protective cap, attach filter to filter head by firmly inserting into head and rotating filter clockwise. NOTE: If existing plumbing rough in locations (Drain, Water In, and Electric Supply) do not allow the filter to be mounted inside the cooler cabinet the filter can be installed horizontally below the unit. A retrofit kit is available to mount the filter beneath the cooler.

  13. Turn water supply on and inspect for leaks. Fix all leaks before continuing.

  14. Once unit has been inspected for leaks and any leaks found corrected, plug Bottle Filler and unit into wall. Be sure to reinstall fuse to the circuit or switch the circuit breaker back to the “ON” position.

  15. Once power is applied to Bottle Filler, the GREEN LED light should illuminate showing good filter status along with the LCD Bottle Counter.

  16. Verify proper dispensing by placing cup, hand, or any opaque object in front of sensor area and verify water dispenses. Note: the first initial dispenses might have air in line which may cause a sputter. This will be eliminated once all air is purged from the line.

  17. Once unit tests out, install Lower Panel back on water cooler(s). Unit is now ready for use.

    “RNG SET” – Range set for IR sensor.
    “UNIT TYP” – Type of unit (REFRIG or NON-RFRG)
    “FLT SIZE” – Select filter capacity
    “RST BCNT” – Reset bottle count

  3. When display shows “RNG SET” push program button once the display will show current value (can be 1 – 10) e.g. “RNG = 3”.

  4. Once display shows current value push the program button to scroll through value of 1 – 10. Select the desired range setting, “1” being closest to sensor and “10” being farthest away.

  5. Once range is selected allow approximately 4 seconds to pass and then the display will go back to bottle counter and be in run mode.

  6. Test bottle filler by placing bottle or hand in front of sensor to make sure water is dispensed.
