Installation costs for new and used beds??

new2tannin · 11-05-2004, 12:58 AM

Hi everyone,

We have purchased 5 used beds and the new 850 from Sunergoline, also a couple of 350's. The new beds will be set up with free installation. These new beds require buck boosters and maybe up to 3 per bed at my cost, Is this normall? It seems to me they should pay for these if thats what it takes to turn on...Also, what is a fair rate to expect for setting up my other machines?

Three buck boost transformers sounds like one too many. Anyway, you need them if your supply voltage is 120/208. You don't need them if your supply voltage is 240. When I install tanning beds I charge $35.00 an hour per installer.

You should request an owners manual before set up so you know exactly what you need,units vary in their needs.

Two boosters per 3 phase but $150 per small bed and $250 per big bed and $500-$1500 per big bed

sport a tan I thought you were now extreme tanning supply operating most of the southern U.S. for Sportarredo.

I heard you had big things going on... And I heard you had some new secret beds coming into Orlando for the Show...

I am looking forward to seeing this New Amazing Equipment.. I heard Sportarredo spared no expense by flying these beds in on a Jet so that no one could get near them????

You will do very good with the finacial problems of some of the other companies...

Hey new to tanning. Make sure to check your voltage first... If you are lucky enough to have voltage between 225v - 235v then you are just fine...
I ran some Ergoline equipment @ 238-240v and ended up melting the inside acrylic because of too much heat..

But I also upgraded to a hotter (legal) lamp in my 15min. Ergolines. (private manufactured lamp w/ certification)

Just be careful !!

Do you mean the new Ergoline advantage 350?? I just had one delivered two days ago and its running w/one buck booster..... If the line voltage from the wall is what determines how much of a boost you require, why do you need three boosters for one bed???
BTW, my bed is running 40amp three phase w/one 208in/235out booster...
Will someone go into a little bit more detail(in laymans terms) about why one would need two, or even three boosters for one unit...

Two to three boosters per unit? Really?

tanu01 · 11-07-2004, 08:43 AM

On my Velocity,witch is 3 phase, it only required 1 booster. Maby where the booster is placed is the problem,or it was cheaper to go with 2 smaller ones
