INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

All washers must be installed in accordance with all local, state and national building,

electrical, plumbing and other codes in effect in the area.

WARNING - THESE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

ARE FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. TO AVOID INJURY

AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING

OTHER THAN THAT CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS, UNLESS QUALIFIED.

FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: This machine is designed for use on or over bare concrete floor - not to be used

above combustible flooring. The washer must be securely bolted and grouted to a substantial

concrete floor, or mounted and grouted upon a suitable base, which is in turn, securely bolted

and grouted to a substantial concrete floor. CARE MUST BE STRESSED WITH ALL

FOUNDATION WORK TO INSURE A STABLE UNIT INSTALLATION, ELIMINATING

POSSIBILITIES OF EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. All installations must be made on sound

concrete floors, 6 inches (152 mm) or thicker. Anchor bolts or expansion anchors must be of a

quality grade and a minimum of 5/8-inch (16 mm) diameter.

MOUNTING

A concrete pedestal or steel-mounting base that elevates the machine approximately 6 inches

(152 mm) above the floor level is recommended to provide easy access to the loading door.

Allow a minimum of 24 inches (610mm) of clearance behind the rear of the machine, to provide

access for motor removal. Refer to Fig. 1-1 and 1-2 for machine bolt-down dimensions.

If an elevated concrete pedestal is desired, it should be embedded into the existing floor. Anchor

bolts should be 5/8" x 8" (16 mm x 200 mm), grade 8 or better, headed by a 4 inch (10 cm)

square fish plate and should protrude 1 7/8 inches (48 mm) above the finished surface of the

pedestal. EXPANSION ANCHORS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CONCRETE

PEDESTALS, BECAUSE THE ANCHORS ARE TOO CLOSE TO AN EDGE, CAUSING IT

TO BREAK OUT. (See Fig. 1-1 and 1-3.)

PLUMBING

Water supply hoses are furnished with each machine. The threaded connections on the hoses are ¾-

11 ½ NHT.

Separate hot and cold water lines must be provided, maintaining 30 psi to 120 psi (207 kPa to 827

kPa) water flow pressure. A 140F (60C) degree hot water supply is recommended for best washing

results.

DRAIN

The drain outlet tube at the rear of the machine is 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter. Any drain hose

used must be lower than the drain valve to assure proper draining.

ELECTRICAL

WARNING

SHUT OFF POWER AND WATER BEFORE OPENING ANY SERVICE PANELS.

The Dexter 450 single-/three-phase 208-240VAC 60 Hz washing machines are intended to be

permanently installed appliances. No power cord is provided. The machine should be connected to

an individual branch circuit not shared by lighting or other equipment. The connection should be

sheathed in liquid tight flexible conduit, or equivalent, with conductors of the proper size and

insulation. A qualified technician should make such connections in accordance with the wiring

diagram. (Suggest a minimum wire size of 12 ga.)

TO MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Disconnect all power to the washer. Remove screw

and lift out the cover located in the upper left corner of the machine (as viewed from the back).

If power is 208-240-3PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2, L3 and ground. If there is a high leg it must

be connected to L3.

If power is 208-240-1PH-60Hz, connect L1, L2 and Ground.

NOTE: It is important that the grounding screw next to the power terminal block TB-1 be

connected to a good external ground.

FUSING REQUIREMENTS:

SINGLE- or THREE -PHASE POWER - 15 AMP TIME-DELAY (DUAL ELEMENT)

FUSE (or equivalent circuit breaker)

CONTROLS TRANSFORMER:

The controls transformer is located inside the control trough and steps a range of 208 to 240 volts

down to 115 volts. There are two terminals on the controls transformer for the primary (incoming)

power. Use the terminal marked “208V” for power supplies between 208 and 220 volts. Use the

terminal marked “230V” for power supplies between 221 and 240 volts.

INJECTION SOURCE DETAILS

The washer control may be programmed to send 120V output signals for a chemical injection

system. The signals are not intended as a power source and must be limited to less than 100

milliamps of current. There is a separate terminal block for connection of the external injection

signals. For the injection sources, program codes 0 through 6 are as shown in the table below.
