Safety Features:
• Certified to IECx and BAS11.0057 Ex db ib IIA T2 Gb , Baseefa11ATEX0118, Ex db h ib IIA T2 Gb.
See the next section, Certif cation,.
• Explosion proof construction and intrinsically safe electric circuitry.
• Computer controlled with many built-in safety programs including temperature control of all criti-
cal points including tank, condenser and fan motor. Power is cut when the temperature at any of
these points rises above a pre-set level. Operation also terminates when other abnormal conditions
exist (eg: boiling does not start on time or the distillation process takes too long).
• Automatic pressure relief lid system prevents pressure in the Distillation Tank from exceeding 0.5
to 1.0 psi. (0.035 to 0.070 kglcm2).
• Self Diagnostic error messages are displayed on the Display Panel.
• Dual lid cover system.
• Compact, enclosed cabinet for safe storage of the Solvent Receiving Container inside the cabinet.
*Note on VOLTAGE:
Operating the unit at VOLTAGE lower than 220V
(eg: 208V) may result in reduced performance.
**Note on MAX TEMPERATURE SET POINT:
If a Liner Bag is used, do not use a SET POINT
greater than 205 °C.

PREPARATION AND SETUP:
• Carefully inspect the shipping carton for any sign of transport damage.
• Carefully remove the unit from the shipping carton.
• Check the unit for damage. Report any transport damage immediately to the carrier and your
vendor. Initiate a freight claim with the carrier. The manufacturer is not responsible for freight dam-
age.
• A Liner Bag and Retainer Ring are already installed inside the distillation tank.
• Check the Accessory Kit for the parts listed below. If any parts are missing, contact your supplier. Ad-
ditional consumables and accessories are also listed.
Note: Liner bags are not included with the model, RI80.
LOCATION AND CONNECTION:
This unit is classif ed as Zone 1. Such equipment will not generate a spark. This equipment may be safely
placed in a Class 1, Division 1, Group D, Zone 1 locations where solvents may be present. See Hazard-
ous Location in the National Electrical Code for more information.
If this unit is placed in a Class 1, Division 2, Zone 2 or unclassif ed location consider the area within 10
feet from the unit as Class 1, Division 2, a location where solvent is sometimes present. All equipment in
this area, such as electrical and ventilation equipment must be certif ed for use in a Class 1, Division 2,
Zone 2 location. Such equipment cannot produce a spark. Equipment that can generate sparks, like gen-
eral plugs, welding equipment and power tools cannot be located in this area. Smoking is not permitted.
We recommend, as a best practice, that you keep this area open and free from all debris and equipment.
If you have a question contact your local f re prevention authorities for advice. The unit must be at least 1
foot from the back wall and 10 feet from 3 other walls.
The solvent recycler comes with an explosion proof plug. A qualified electrician, in accodance
with the National Electrical Code, must install an explosion proof recepticle on the wall for con-

Ventilation Required:
Solvents are heavier than air and accumulate near the f oor.
The area or room where the solvent recycler is located must have suff cient natural or artif cial ventilation
to prevent the accumulation of solvent vapor air mixtures. If a ventilator is used it must be of class 1, divi
sion 1 and used in a way to safely exhaust fumes. Check the arrangement with local authorities.
Fire Extinguisher:
A f re extinguisher (dry chemical type) of class BC or ABC must be kept nearby.
SOLVENT REQUIREMENTS
2) Comply with the instructions in the section: CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS.
3)Ensure that the safety lid and door freely opens fully and a container for receiving the distilled solvent
can freely move in and out of the cabinet. The unit must be in a location where people or equipment can-
not disturb the cable or connection. The cord must be connected directly to the main power supply; an
extension cord cannot be used.
4) Connect the unit to a dedicated, single phase 220/240V, 20 Amp branch circuit.
Definitions
Flash Point:
The lowest temperature at which the vapor of a solvent can be made to ignite momentarily in air.
Auto-ignition Temperature (often referred to as “ignition Temperature” or “Ignition Point”):
The temperature at which solvent ignites by itself.
