The DC came in well ahead of schedule.
Everything was very well packed and secured to the pallet. The delivery guy did the usual thing by demanding you sign for the equipment before you do an inspection for damage. Really wish they'd just acknowledge that the guys who contract the shipping stipulate the requirements to inspect for damage before accepting receipt. Anyway, it was so well packed that nothing was amiss.
First step was to put together the stand. I decided to get the optional stand to give myself more flexibility on setup and future changes. I also didn't want any vibration to transmit directly to the structure through a wall mount. First issue, in test fitting the cone to the stand, the mounts don't seem to line up right. The stand is adjustable for 21" or 23" cone, depending on the system you buy. But, there's always some flex in this sort of setup, so no big deal. By the way, the owners manual is really pretty good when it comes to assembly. This wasn't written in Mandarin and then run through a poor translation.
We lifted the cyclone barrel and fan housing to mate up with the cone on the stand, which is when we hit issue 2. The stand didn't line up because we have the wrong size cone, 21" instead of 23". Would have been great if I could have figured that out before my wife pinched her finger between the barrel and cone. I'm going to catch grief for that one.
So, after taking a few photos and shooting the email to Oneida requesting assistance, I'm back on standby. I did have a chance to wire the outlet. The requirement for 6-20R was a little odd to me, considering the requirement for a 30amp breaker. Hope to have a decision today on ducting -- type and source.
Time for a beer.
