Step 1
Check your 110/120 volt outlet with the tester supplied to make sure the outlet is wired correctly and does not have a ground fault interrupter (GFI) in the circuit.





Step 2
Plug one of the instant 220 power supply's cords into a 110/120 volt outlet' If you use extension cords use only 10/3 heavy gauge cords. You can find them on Amazon.com or at your local hardware store.





Step 3
Plug the other power cord into a different outlet. Use an extension cord of appropriate length, as necessary. The two outlets will be farther from each other than shown in the picture. This is just an example picture. You want two outlets that are on different circuits. Step 4 (Amber light) will confirm when you get it right.



.
Step 4
The amber lamp on the front cover will light when connection is made to an outlet on an independent circuit. If the Amber lamp doesn't light, try different outlets until it does. Technically, an independent circuit is one that is 180 degrees out of phase with the first. In practice, Quick 220 systems automatically test for this. No special knowledge or action is required
by the user.

220 Volt Converter
Specification's

I Want it! What do I NEED TO KNOW first?

This system works great with a 230V Vapor Rino. That said, if you are going to use this 230V converter to power one of our Vapor Rino Steam Cleaning systems there are few things you should be aware of.

1) When using extension cords use the RIGHT SIZE. Use heavy duty, 10-3 AWG extension cords with 3 prongs.

2) The 230V Rino's run close to maximum wattage. When plugging in your converter be sure ALL OTHER ITEMS in the home, on those same circuits are turned off. You will need all the available power from both 15 amp, 115V outlets to run this machine. Having other appliances turned on will take power away from this system and may cause you to trip a breaker. Turn off or unplug all items in that part of the home, on the same circuit before using this system.

3) You cannot plug this converter into a GFI outlet. Most of the time you can identify these outlets by the 'reset' and 'test' buttons on the outlet itself. You will most often find these GFI's in a kitchen or bathroom. The converter will not work off of a GFI outlet. Just plug it into a standard 15 or 20amp outlet. You can use the INCLUDED tester to see if an outlet is GFI or not.

4) When running full power it is recommended to "rest" the converter from time to time. See specifications for more information. Full power at 80% on, 20% off (time), 3 hr. max. It may be a good idea to turn off your machine for 10 minutes after every 60 to 120 minutes or so to let the converter rest. Also, keep your converter out of direct sun light and never cover or enclose the converter. This will avoid overheating.

5) If your location has low voltage coming into the home it is possible that this system may be under powered for use with a Vapor Rino. Voltages below 110V may have issues. This is not definite, but possible. You can buy a cheap voltage tester to see what your outlets are putting out. Anything over 115 Volts is great.
If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.

How does the 220 Volt Power Supply work?

How does the Quick 220 Power Supply work?

The 220 Power Supply technically uses the fact that 220 / 240 volts AC is supplied to most facilities. The 220 / 240 volts is divided into 110/120 volt circuits for distribution within the building. Using standard 110 / 120 volt outlets and the Quick 220, the user can quickly identify and connect to the separated 110 / 120 volt halves of the original 220 / 240, restoring the 220/240 volt AC option without adding new electrical circuits or wiring to the building.

How do I use this 220V Power Supply?

SEE :HOW TO SETUP TAB FOR DETAILS. Overview: First, connect one of the 220 Power Supply cords to a standard 110 / 120 volt outlet.

Next, connect the second power cord from the Quick 220 Power Supply to an independent 110 / 120 volt outlet, using an extension cord if necessary. The "220-240 VOLTS" Amber lamp will illuminate when you have the right outlet; if it doesn't illuminate, try a different outlet. Use only 10/3 heavy extension cords.

220 / 240 volts is now available at the "220-240 VOLTS" outlet on the Quick 220 Power Supply. Plug in your 220 / 240 volt equipment and use it.

Waht do you mean by "independent 110/120 volt outlets?

Technically, the AC voltage of the two outlets are 180 degrees out of phase. Practically, you find the independent outlet by moving the second power cord to different outlets until the amber light on the front panel goes on. About half the outlets in a building will be "independent" of the other half.

What size extension cords should I use?

Use heavy duty, 10-3 AWG extension cords (or heavier) with 3 prong plugs for use with the Vapor Rino. These are available at most hardware and home centers or on Amazon.com

How much power can I draw from this converter?

This 220 Power Supply will furnish 15 amperes. If your equipment is rated in watts, 15 amperes at 230 volts is the same as 3450 watts.
For the 15 ampere (3450 watt) systems, momentary loads of 75 amperes or 16,500 watts can be supported. Momentary loads are often encountered when starting motors or when powering up electronic equipment.
One cannot draw more current (amperes) from the wall outlet than its circuit breaker or fuse rating. TURN OFF All other appliances, and electrical devices that are running on the same two circuits you are plugging into.
This includes the current required by your 220/240 volt load plus any 110/120 volt item which may share the same circuit: lamps, stereos, hair dryers, etc. It may be necessary to disconnect the lamps, stereos, hair dryers, etc., if you trip a circuit breaker you will need to reset it and check to make sure all other items are off on that set of lines.

Safety?

To protect people and equipment, the Quick 220 Power Supply's automatic safety interlock blocks all power to the 220/240 volt outlet until electrical connections are complete and correct. Should one of the cords become disconnected or loose power, all powered connections to the 220/240 volt outlet are immediately and simultaneously disconnected, including the exposed power cord.

Internal test circuits are employed to assure wiring, polarity, and output voltage are correct. Safety circuits can be checked by listening to the Quick 220 Power Supply at the time it is connected to 110/120 volt power; it will click if safety circuits are operating.

The Quick 220 power Supply conforms to the safety requirements of UL Standard 1012. It has been independently tested to this UL Standard by Intertek and has earned the right to bear the Intertek Listed Mark. Intertek is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for this testing.

How big is it?

About 6.5 inches wide by 5 inches deep by 3 inches high. It weighs less than 4 pounds.

What is meant by 110/115/120 volts and 220/230/240 volts?

In North America, 110 volts, 115 volts and 120 volts are used interchangeably to describe the most common voltage range. This is the voltage level available through most outlets in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Similarly, 220 volts, 230 volts and 240 volts refer to one voltage range. The sources of these seemingly different numbers is as follows:
The 110 volt and 220 volt designations are older and are familiar terminology, but are not now commonly used in either product design or by electric utilities.
The 115 volt and 230 volt terminology comes from equipment design standards. Equipment is typically designed to operate at 115 or 230 volts plus or minus 10%.
Electric utilities typically deliver electricity at 120 volts or 240 volts plus or minus 5% at the transformer.
When one subtracts the several volts lost between the electric utility's transformer and your equipment, you get a good match between the voltage the electric utility delivers and the voltage your equipment was designed to use.

Does equipment designed for 50 Hz. operate on 60 Hz?

In North America, electricity is supplied at 60 Hertz (Hz.) In most of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and South America, 50 Hz. is the standard. For most equipment, this difference is not a problem. In some cases, motors will run 20% faster on 60 Hz versus 50 Hz. (This is a problem with electric clocks!) Radios and televisions are a special problem: broadcast frequencies are country and region specific. If you have questions, please call us.

How does 3 phase power affect this system?

Should the 110/120 volts come from a 3 phase electrical system, sometimes found in commercial or industrial settings, the output will be 208 volts.

Do I need to use 3 prong grounded wall outlets? Yes!

Yes, 3 pronged grounded wall outlets are necessary for safe operation. Do not use adapters and do not remove grounding pin from plug.

Step 1

Check your 110/120 volt outlet with the tester supplied to make sure the outlet is wired correctly and does not have a ground fault interrupter (GFI) in the circuit.








Step 2

Plug one of the instant 220 power supply's cords into a 110/120 volt outlet'








Step 3

Plug the other power cord into a different outlet. Use10/3 gauge heavy extension cord of appropriate length, as necessary. The two outlets will be farther from each other than shown in the picture. This is just an example picture. Example: Often you will plug one leg into lets say a living room outlet and another leg might be plugged into a bedroom. You want two outlets that are on different circuits out of phase. Step 4 The (Amber light) will confirm when you get it right. This Amber ready light makes plugging it in very easy.








Step 4
Ahh that beautiful Amber light makes life so easy! The Amber lamp on the front cover will light when connection is made to two outlets that are on independent, different phase circuits. If the lamp doesn't light, try different outlets until it does. Technically, an independent circuit is one that is 180 degrees out of phase with the first.
In practice, Quick 220 systems automatically test for this. No special knowledge or action is required by the user.
