Beer, Water, and Steam connections a. The water supply pipe and steam pipe should comply with local standards. b. Connect the cooling water inlet of the EB120 to the main water supply using a flexible hose with 3/4-inch fittings. Washing machine connection hoses are perfect for these connections, as they are made to withstand high pressure without bursting. We recommend braided stainless steel washing machine hoses, available at your local building supply store. c. Connect the Cooling

EB120 Temperature Probe Installations of power supply and control cables 1. Confirm the correct voltage of power supply and wires. 2. Remove the knock out for the power cable entry and use a rubber grommet to protect the cable, connect to the conductors to the correct terminals for single phase power supply use the copper bridge connectors, for 3 phase supply remove them. 3. Remove the knock out for the control cable entry and use a rubber grommet to protect the cable, conne

EB120 Circuit Board Chapter Four : Testing and operation (1) Once the installation has been completed and checked, turn on power and water supplies and carry out the following test. (2) On the control panel press the on/off key, (the key has a time-lapse function, press it for I second), the time and temp displays the data. (3) Turn on your valve(s) to allow beer to flow to the boiler. The indicator LED is red on the remote. The internal pump will begin filling the boiler with be

The drain indicator LED will indicate as red during this operation. (10) Once you have set the temperature required, the boiler will operate on all heating elements until the temperature is 4 degrees below the target temperature. Once the system is in full operation, the computer maintains the boiler temperature and it will selectively tur

The water flow control can be fine tuned to help tightly control the specific characteristics of your particular still, and can help regulate varying input water pressures. There are four different presets that can be chosen for use during operation. To change the water flow rate control, turn on the EB120, and press and release the Drain key on the remote. The Temperature Display will flash and show one of four pressure settings; 1PS, 2PS, 3PS, 4PS. Press the Drain key one or more ti

Follow the instructions supplied with the crystals and allow sufficient time for the solution to dissolve the scale before flushing out the boiler. System faults arising from a failure to descale the unit are not covered by warranty. Because heating and cooling cause expansion and contraction, it is important to inspect all the water and steam inlets and outlets as well
