INSPECTION AND PREPARATION
1. Check each unit to see that it is complete. The components of the system include:
A. Tubing Storage Reel. Reel also may have an attached CMW fan.
B. Hose assembly consisting of tubing with flange one end, exhaust adapter other end, hardware and
gasket to attach tubing to reel.
C. Electrical controls which may include an up/down control, hanging pendants, or control boxes for
single point wiring and starters. Note: up/down control jumper must be removed
2. Check for any damage that may have been caused by shipping. If concealed damage is found, report
it to the carrier immediately. Car-Mon cannot be responsible for any damage not reported to the
carrier in a timely manner.
3. Review the instruction sheets before proceeding with the installation.
REEL INSTALLATION
1. Tubing storage reels may be wall or ceiling mounted. Make sure the mounting surface is level and
plumb and able to support the weight of the reel which can weigh up to 200 pounds when the tubing is
attached. Use all four mounting holes with bolts that are capable of withstanding the weight and stress
of the reels. After the reel is mounted, check to make sure the reel is level.
2. Connect the power to the reel. The are many options for wiring and include the basic wiring for the
up/down movement of the reel and the on/off functions of the fan. The basic connections and
diagrams are located in this publication. If the system has a control box, starters, single point wiring or
other connections that are non-standard, please check the supplementary wiring diagrams that were
packed with the reels. (Also see additional information on control boxes on page 5.) Once the power
is connected, push the up button on the up/down control. The drum should turn counterclockwise
when viewed from the motor end enclosure of the reel. If it does not turn in that direction, recheck the
wiring connections. If it is turning properly, use the up/down controls to run the reel from stop to stop
position two or three times to assure it is operating properly. The hose assembly can now be attached.
4. Push the down button on the control till the reel stops. The
hose must be installed when the reel is in the down position.
All reels have been tested and preset to the length of hose
supplied. If different lengths of tubing were ordered, make sure
to match the tubing length to the correct reel.
Attach the flanged end of the tubing to the pocket of the reel
using the gasket supplied between the flange and the pocket.
When attaching, the reel pocket should be in the 11-12 o’clock
position which was preset at the factory. If for any reason the
reel is not in this approximate position, it will have to be
adjusted using the down limit switch. (See page 4 for
adjustment of limit switches)
After the hose has been attached, push the up button till the
hose stops. The reel should stop with about three feet of tubing, including the adapter, hanging down
from the reel. (If hose appears not to stop and the adapter is about to go onto the reel, release the up
button immediately.) Please note that some reels are shipped with an extra length of tubing that is not
designed to wind onto the reel. In this case, more than three feet may hang down. Standard reels will
hold 25’ of tubing.
5. Connect duct work to crimped discharge collar for models without a connected fan. Recheck all
connections and make sure all wiring is complete. Unit is now ready for final test.
