Machine Overview

 

Water Path Overview

 

Pre-Installation Requirements

Countertop machines

 

Confirm the following requirements are met prior to 

starting the installation!

 

Water Source

• Dedicated 3/8” plumbing line
• Minimum supply pressure of 50 psi & 5 liters per minute flow rate, pre filter
• DO NOT allow a building filter to be used on the water source

 

Note:

• To confirm the flow rate, dispense 1 L of water from the water source and time how long it takes to fill. A completion time of 10 seconds or less indicates sufficient flow.

• To confirm pressure, connect a pressure gauge (rated +100 psi) to the dedicated 3/8 “ plumbing line. Open the water source and wait for the reading to maintain a steady state, then confirm the pressure gauge reads greater than 50 psi / 3.5 BAR.

 

Power Source

• 110-120V AC Outlet, 8 amp max draw
• Preferred location is in the same cabinet as the chiller
• If located above the counter, must be within 24” of the Head Unit

 

Internet Source

Ensure one of the following is available:

• Wi-Fi (2.4-GHz 802.11N Wireless Network)
• Bevi-approved Mobile Hotspot/Router (Cellular Connection)
• Ethernet Connection (RJ-45)

 

Ventilation

• 4” diameter hole in countertop, directly above the chiller
• Ensure the Back of Head Unit is a minimum of 5” away from the wall to allow for heat ventilation
  • See Countertop Hole Template on Page 11
• Base Cabinet must have a toe kick for drilling additional ventilation

 

Cabinet Space

• Dedicated under counter & above counter space; that complies with our space requirements 
  • See Cabinet Configurations on Page 8

Cabinet Configurations

Ensure the unit can be installed in one of the following configurations.

Space under the sink can be used if kept clear of cleaning agents and Flavor Boxes are stored off the ground on a tray or shelf.

 

 

 

 

NOTE: 

• If the water source is NOT in the cabinet we recommend installing the filter near the water source. 

• Avoid placing the filter near the chiller to prevent heating the water stored inside the filter.

 

Above Counter

Use the template on pg 11 to ensure appropriate clearance for the Head Unit

 

1. Ensure a minimum of 5” of clearance from the back of the Head Unit.
2. Ensure 1” of clearance on either side of the Head Unit. This is necessary for proper ventilation.
