Installation

ALL ELECTRICAL POWER MUST BE TURNED OFF TO THE HEATING ELEMENTS AND DISH MACHINE PRIOR TO BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
UNIT MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED (EARTHED).

Dish Room Survey
Prior to installation, take a complete survey of the dish room. Determine the desired placement of the Pinnacle and chemicals. Also, determine how the electrical connections will be made. Main power and trigger cords must run through a nonmetallic ½” conduit system (84.148.3) or secure to the dispenser control with a watertight cord grip (84.422.4).

Mounting the Pinnacle

1. Remove the Mounting Bracket from the dispenser.
2. Mount the bracket in an appropriate place on the wall away from splashing and steam from the machine. Used the integrated bubble level, in the bracket, to properly secure the dispenser.
3. Slide the dispenser onto the bracket and attach the secure screw on the inside of the dispenser.

Setting up the Pinnacle and the Dish Machine

1. Locate the electrical connection point. The input power may be 100V – 250V 50/60Hz. Check with the manufacturer of the machine to determine if there are dedicated terminals available for this installation.
2. Properly ground the dispenser to Earth ground.
3. The Pinnacle can operate using both rinse (82.60.05) and detergent (82.60.04) NTC Thermistor probes. The proper placement for the detergent probe (82.60.04) is in the wash tank. This probe must be installed below the water level, normally 1”-2” from the bottom of the tank, 2” from the corners and must be kept away from heating elements, pump intake, drains and incoming water supply. The rinse probe (82.60.05) will be placed in the rinse manifold, using the rinse inlet fitting. Screw the rinse probe inlet fitting to the machine rinse manifold. Slide the probe into the rinse inlet fitting, until it hits the pipe then pull it back about 1/2″. Then tighten the brass nut at the end of the fitting to retain the probe. Screw the rinse inlet fitting into the rinse manifold. Illustrations of both probes are shown below.
4. Install the detergent injection bulkhead (80.55) fitting above the probe (if a probe is used) to obtain a rapid reading of all chemicals entering the wash tank.
5. Install the rinse line injection fitting (904.8T) into the rinse line tap provided by the manufacturer of the machine. If a tap is not provided, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installing this fitting.

Connecting the Chemical Tubing to the Pinnacle

1. After mounting the dispenser, measure the length of tubing needed to go from the dispenser to the detergent injection fitting and the rinse injection fitting installed on the dish machine. The detergent tubing (25.68.20) is opaque in color and has a larger inside diameter than the rinse and sanitizer tubing (100.12.SV1) which is clear in color and has a small inside diameter. Cut the tubing to the length required for each.
2. The remaining tubing is then used to go from the dispenser to the chemicals. Cut the tubing to the length required to reach each chemical, place the pickup tube stiffener on the tubing before placing in the chemical container.

Wiring the Pinnacle to the Dish Machine
The following diagram is included to help to install the wires in the correct places for proper power for the unit

How to connect the wires to the machine

• CONNECT Main Power = Brown and Blue Wires to the idle power or constant power terminals on the machine. (100VAC to 240VAC only)
• CONNECT Rinse Trigger Wires = Red and Black to the Rinse trigger terminals on the machine
• CONNECT Detergent Trigger Wires = White and Orange to the detergent trigger terminals to the machine
• CONNECT the Green Ground wire to Earth Ground on the machine

WARNING: For safety purposes disconnect main power to the dish machine. Connect power to the Pinnacle per the dish machine manufacturer’s recommendations. UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED (EARTHED). The following steps will help to insure the proper wiring of the unit. The unit should be triggered to power on from the dish machine that it is being used in conjunction with. DEMA Engineering does not recommend powering the unit separately from the dish machine. The following three steps will ensure that the unit only receives power when it is necessary to have power to run the setup that is programmed in the unit. The following page(s) shows an internal wiring diagram for the unit.

Pinnacle Wiring

• Input voltage 100VAC to 265VAC
• Max input current: 1 amp

Attaching the Side Pump Module

If the installation allows, it may be more convenient to remove the dispenser from the wall bracket and place it on a flat surface. Loosen the securing screw, if used, before removing the dispenser from the wall. See Mounting the Pinnacle above. Remove the knockout formed in the rear side of the Pinnacle. It may be easier to have the side module attached to the bracket with the wire and grommet pulled through the opening in the bracket. Feed the side module end connectors through the hole and then push the rubber grommet into that hole. Pull the wire through as the side module and bracket slide into the cutout on the side of the enclosure. There are two starter holes inside the Pinnacle that will line up with holes on the attachment bracket. Use the Hi-Lo screws to fasten through the interior wall of the Pinnacle and into the side module attachment bracket.

( Note : the starter holes do not need to be opened. The screws open the holes as they screw into the bracket.) Once you have secured the attachment bracket to the Pinnacle, slide the side module onto the bracket, if required, until it locks in place. Attach wires to control board. Add cable tie(s) as necessary. Return the dispenser to the wall bracket and reattach tubing if required

Pump Priming
To prime the various pumps, press and hold the coresponding buttons, on the Pinnacle. After holding the button for two seconds the pump/valve will begin priming then release the button. The Up arrow, will prime the Rinse pump; the Down Arrow will prime the Detergent pump; and the Right Arrow will prime the optional Sanitizer pump. After holding the button for two seconds the pump/valve will begin priming. Release the button. Pressing the button again will stop the pump/valve. Either pump/valve may be started again if the Priming screen is displayed. When a pump/valve is started, it will stop automatically after 60 seconds. It may be started again, if needed. When done priming, pressing the ENTER button will exit the Priming mode. The Priming mode will be exited automatically after 15 seconds of inactivity.

Accessing Dispenser Menu
The home is where the name of the company and dispenser name will be displayed. Press the Enter button to progress further into the menu. The next screen is the Concentration Mode screen, which will show the Rack Count, as well. Press the Enter button to view the Setup and Pump Control screen. Using the Up or Down button, you can select which ever option you need, and then press the Enter to make the selection. Following these steps, you will advance through the intuitive programming process.
The Home Screen -> Concentration Mode Screen -> Setup & Pump Ctrl Screen -> Select Language ->

Enter Access Code. Pressing ENTER will display a four-digit pass code with the arrow under it. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the first digit of the pass code. Pressing the Right button moves to the second digit of the pass code. The Up and DOWN buttons are again used to select the digit. Press the Right Button again to move to the third and fourth digits of the pass code, for entry. Pressing ENTER after the fourth digit is set will allow access to the dispenser programming. A new dispenser will have a pass code of 0000. A custom pass code may be entered in the programming screens. In the programming screens, 10 minutes of inactivity causes the dispenser to exit programming.
