WAZER Pro Location Requirements

Ensure that your installation location meets ALL the following requirements:

Electrical:

The WAZER Pro comes as two different models for the specific frequency regions. This setup guide is for both the 60hz region and 50hz versions. Power requirements are:

  • Split-Phase 230 VAC 60hz for WAZER Pro (60Hz)

  • Single Phase 230 VAC 50hz for WAZER Pro (50Hz).

For more about Split Phase and Single Phase, see this page.

WAZER Pro 50Hz uses IEC 60309-2P electric plug; WAZER Pro 60Hz uses NEMA 6-20 plug.

Power to WAZER Pro machines should have at least a 20A breaker wired. WAZER Pro machine draws 13-16A during stable operation.

Please follow the appropriate electrical instructions below given your model of WAZER Pro. You can verify your model by looking at the Primary Label on the right side window.

Corresponding receptacles are shipped with the machine. If you cannot locate appropriate receptacle, please have a professional electrician to connect the receptacle.

[WARNING] The included receptacle can only be installed by licensed electrician. Failure to do so may result in electrocution, serious injury or death.

High load motors usually requires an “in-rush current” that will momentarily exceed the stated steady-state run currents for a fraction of a second. The time associated with this “in-rush current” is very short and almost all household and commercial AC breakers are designed to handle this safely. However, in the rare case that you run into trouble with your breaker tripping, consult an electrician to have your system checked to handle on the order of 60amps for 150 milliseconds

Water Supply:

  • Flow Rate: Greater than 2 gpm (7.6L/min). Most household and commercial water plumbing will meet this requirement. Typical bathroom faucets 1-3 gpm, kitchen faucets 2-4 gpm, and outdoor/shop hoses 3-6 gpm.

  • Pressure: 30-90 psi (0.24Mpa - 0.6Mpa). Most household and commercial water plumbing systems fall in this range. The higher in that range, the better for the High Pressure Pump in terms of its longevity.

  • Temperature: max 130 F (54C). DO NOT use a hot water line for WAZER Pro.

  • Water Hardness: Less than 180 mg/L (10.5 gpg) of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Water hardness is the biggest factor that affects the longevity of the components. We suggest you give your region a search if this is a concern.

Water Drainage:

  • Within 30 feet (9m) of WAZER Pro (routed.) Make sure your drain location is no more than 30 feet (9m) from your WAZER Pro. Additionally, the drain location should be less than 4 feet (1.2m) above WAZER Pro.

Floorspace:

  • Sturdy and capable of holding over 1300 lbs. (600kg)

  • Flat and level under load. Maximum 1.5mm of height difference across entire Cut Bed

  • A clear area of 46” by 27” (1.2m by 0.7m) to allow for access.

  • Does not deteriorate when exposed to water. Because under some unforeseen scenarios, water may stream out from abrasive hopper and other places.

  • Please keep a 80” (2m) area above the floor footprint, to allow door window to open.

  • WAZER Pro Should be placed in environment such as laboratories, household workshops and most machines shops. Heavy Industrial facility with machinery or devices that induce electromagnetic interference on adjacent devices should be avoided.

Ambient Air Temperature: 40-100 F (5 - 40C). WAZER Pro should never be operated outside of this range

Space Around WAZER: Make sure to leave at least 12” (0.4m) of free space on the right and left sides of WAZER Pro. On the left side of WAZER Pro, you will need room to refill the Abrasive Hopper. On the right side, you may need access to the Control Panel

Wet Area: WAZER Pro operates with abrasive and water. Though WAZER Pro is enclosed, it is not a sealed system, and water and abrasive will inevitably leak on occasion. The floor surface should be water- resistant, slip proof and smooth..

Noise: WAZER Pro emits noise that would be disruptive in settings such as classrooms and offices. Make sure to place WAZER Pro in a location where the noise level of traditional shop tools like drills and saws is acceptable.
