APPLICATION
The DRESTER RDX 9012 is the Docking Unit that, when connected to the DRESTER 9000 Gun Cleaner and DRESTER 120
Recycler forms the closed system called the "DRESTER DYNAMIC TRIPLE 9000". This brings safe handling of both clean and
contaminated solvent. The system eliminates heavy lifting and handling of solvent drums. It minimises solvent losses, and speeds
up the work.
This manual describes the DRESTER RDX 9012 Docking Unit, how to install it, and how to operate the complete "DRESTER
DYNAMIC TRIPLE 9000" system. The DRESTER 9000 Gun Cleaner is described in detail in manual no. 10259. The DRESTER
120 Recycler is described in detail in manual no. 11213. The descriptions below also apply to the DRESTER 9000-TT Gun
Cleaner.
ASSEMBLY
The DRESTER RDX 9012 Docking Unit is supplied complete in a box. The unit does not require any further assembly. The
Docking Unit is installed in accordance with the instructions below with the aid of the enclosed accessories.
Note: Air lines for compressed air and associated couplings (for 1/4" internal thread) must be supplied by the purchaser.
PLACING THE UNIT
The DRESTER RDX 9012 is placed inside the DRESTER 9000. The DRESTER 9000 with RDX 9012 are equipment Category 2
(ref. ATEX-directive 94/9 EC) and may therefore be placed in locations classified as Zone 1 (ref. ATEX-directive 1999/92 EC). If
the DRESTER 9000 with RDX 9012 are installed in locations classified as Zone 2 (or in unclassified locations), the area within a
radius of 1 m from the DRESTER 9000 with RDX 9012 is to be classified as Zone 1, and within a radius of an additional 2.5 m
from the unit as Zone 2 (total classification: 3.5 m around the machinery and 1 m above it). Within this area, all equipment such as
electrical items must be approved for the Zones described. Equipment that generates naked flames or sparks (e.g. welding or
grinding equipment) may not be used in this area. Smoking is not permitted.
If in any doubt, contact the local fire service authorities for advice.
Always ensure that the unit is correctly grounded.
This manual is part of the equipment and must be kept accessible at all times.
COLLECTING TRAY
To prevent accidental leakage of solvent that runs onto the floor from spreading into a drain water system, the DRESTER 9000
with RDX 9012 must be installed in a location where floor and walls can hold the accidental leakage. If this is not possible, the
unit must be equipped with the "DRESTER COLLECTING TRAY 10250".
PREPARATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
General
To ensure an effective, trouble-free installation of the DRESTER DYNAMIC TRIPLE 9000, the following preparations should be
made:
DRESTER 9000 Gun Cleaner
Install the Gun Cleaner according to manual no. 10259.
DRESTER 120 Recycler
Install the Recycler according to manual no. 11213. Note that the electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
Compressed air connection
By the Recycler, compressed air of 3–10 bar must be available.
By the Gun Cleaner, compressed air of 7–12 bar must be available.
If the supply of compressed air is between 7 and 10 bar, the system may be connected to the same outlet.
The compressed air supplied to the units must be clean and dry, otherwise it may cause damage to the pneumatic components of
the unit, which will invalidate any warranty claims.
Combined or separate
If the Recycler is to be installed at some distance from the Gun Cleaner, the "PIPING KIT 10810" will be required for installation.
Apart from components, this kit also includes manual no. 11161, which describes such an installation.
Air lines and couplings
Note: Air lines for compressed air and associated couplings (for 1/4" internal thread) must be supplied by the purchaser.
Solvents
60 litres of solvent are required to prime the "DRESTER DYNAMIC TRIPLE 9000" system.
