Installation Instructions
After Unpacking and locating the machine to it’s operation area;
Water & Waste Connections (local regulations apply).
Both the cold water and hot water connections are colour coded and come with colour coded water
hoses. These have standard European washing machine fittings (3/4” threaded connections) and must
have a 3 bar pressure (±0.5 bar) water supply. High water pressure & temperature could prevent the unit
working.
Water connections should be located within 1 meter of the installation location prior to final positioning
of the machine. Hot water suppliers need to be supplied via a braked tank and supplied at a
temperature between 30-50°C. Cold water supply dependant on model purchased.
The waste connection is a standard 2” or ∅63mm pipe fitting. We suggest using a rubber straight
connector between the WasteStation and the site plumbing fittings. This will avoid any issues between
types of fittings used.
The size of the product outlet must not be reduced, the drainpipe should run into 54mm outside
diameter pipe work as far as its junction with the main pipe or outside manhole connection. The length
of run between the machine and the main junction must be kept to a minimum and the pipe run must
have a fall of at least 1° fall.
A running trap should be fitted, although “P” or “S” type traps
should not be used . Do not use bottle traps. Changes of direction
should be made by swept bends not elbows and cleaning eyes
should be fitted where possible, in accordance with standard
plumbing practice.
Copper pipe and compression fittings should be used, but plastic tubing is acceptable to most drainage
authorities.
The WasteStations must have an independent waste pipe, which does not also serve sinks,
dishwashers and similar equipment.
Ensure the foot mechanism is
lowered into the correct position
ensuring the WasteStation wheels
are not in contact with the floor and
the unit cannot move.

Ecofast Environmental UK Ltd

The drainpipe to be installed must slope downwards by 1% and fitted without a trap. It is not suggested
these machines can be fitted with Grease Recovery Units (GRU’s) but should be installed upstream of
the sites grease trap.
Water flow sensors: these sensors prevent the machine from operating without water. If there is no
water to either of the sensors a message will be displayed on the display screen.
Electrical Installation
IMPORTANT: All electrical installations must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with
IEE Codes of Practice.
For safety reasons these instructions must be followed. Any deviation from these instructions will result
in a breach of conditions of sale and voiding the warranty contract.
Examine the rating plate located as shown below to ensure that the characteristics shown are correct
for the supply available.

The supply cable fitted is the minimum required for connection to the mains supply. Site conditions may
vary with additional length of cable run, encapsulation in trunking, bunched with other cables etc.
Should this apply, the electrician must alter the cable accordingly. The system should be connected to
a suitable 3-phase fused isolator providing at least 3mm separation in all poles.
The system should be connected to a 30A fused isolator providing at least 3mm separation in all poles.
The below illustrates typical fuse ratings for an ambient temperature of 25 to 35°C. Should the
environment temperature be greater than this, adjust accordingly.
Voltage Full Input kW Fuse Rating per Phase
400 –3– 50 1.85 16 Amps
The supply to the machine must also be protected by a 30mA RCD.
WARNING: This machine must be earthed.
If the supply cord becomes damaged it must be replaced by qualified electrician in order to avoid a
hazard.
Phase Sensor: the machine has a phase sensor to prevent the incorrect operation of the machine. In the
event of the phases being in the incorrect orientation the machine will not operate and a “incorrect
phase” message is displayed on the display screen.
Operator Control Panel. This panel comes prewired and needs to be mounted approximately, within 1
meter of where the operator will be working. The control panel needs to be set back from the operating
area to prevent damage to the buttons or screen.
DO NOT USE SHARP ITEMS TO OPERATE THE BUTTONS OR SCREEN.
Connecting the macerator.
The macerator motor must be a 3 phase machine to enable it to operate with the Ecofast Mini
Dewaterer. Before connecting a NON Ecofast macerator, please discuss with Ecofast.
1. The motor cable is identified as cable M1 from the dewaterer.
2. The Lid Safety interlock (FC1) needs to be wired into the main enclosure control panel
as detailed in the wiring diagram (EC060048A). This safety interlock should needs to
switch at 24voltsDC.
3. The solenoid valve (YV3) is 24vDC and the cable is prewired to the control panel and
the push terminals need to be connected to the solenoid spade terminals.
4. The Flow valve (SP2) is 24vDC and the cable is prewired to the control panel and the
push terminals need to be connected to the solenoid spade terminals.
TESTING
Check finally that all supply connections are correctly made and soundly fixed, that nothing has been
left in the grinding chamber, that the rotor is free to rotate and that the baffle interlock is in the correct
position.
The machine is now ready to operate!
