1. INTRODUCTION This manual contains instructions for the operation and maintenance of Hydrotech Discfilters in the HSF2200 series with PFLC automation. Pay attention to all warning symbols that appear in this manual. If this information is ignored it may result in serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Hydrotech Discfilters in the HSF2200 series are designed for safe operation provided they are in- stalled correctly and used in accordance with the enclosed instructions. The equipment must be installed correctly and adapted in accordance with local regulations. This equipment is designed for use by one or more operators.
The filter tank or the frame must be connected to ground. Also see section 4.4. The main power switch/emergency stop must be fitted Figure 2.3 Hydrotech control cabinet PFLC. in accordance with applicable regulations. A. Mode selector B. Main power switch 2.7 Safety instructions...

The drum can start rotating without warning if automatic control is activated. Moving parts must not be touched. Safety guards are fitted around the power transmission. Make sure these are secured and cor- rectly fitted. Spray from the backwash water may contain harmful substances. Measured noise levels from the filter are less than 74 dB (A).
3. HYDROTECH DISCFILTER HSF2200 SERIES 3.1 Reception Once the equipment has been delivered and received it must be checked for transport damage. Document any transport damage before further handling of the equipment. The consignme- nt note, manual and spare part kit are attached to the equipment. Check all parts against the consignment note.

4.2 Installation site 4.2.1 Outdoor installation In the event of outdoor installation it is important to protect the filter panels against direct sun- light, as heat and UV radiation otherwise can cause damage to the filter panels. The same applies to the control panel touch screen.
4.4 Equipotential bonding The Hydrotech Discfilter and associated equipment should be protected with a suitable system for equipotential bonding. This is very important to prevent galvanic corrosion. Ideally use a ca- ble with a cross section of 10–16 mm2. The cable should be connected to the same electrical potential as the drive system.
5. START UP AND OPERATION 5.1 Check procedures during start-up 1. Check that the drive unit cover is installed correctly. 2. Set the mode selector to the HAND position (see F in Figure 5.2). 3. Set the main power switch to the ON (1) posi- tion (see I in Figure 5.2).
5.2 Automatic settings The control system for the HSF2200 series must be equipped with a frequency converter on the drive unit. This is factory calibrated if delivered from Hydrotech. To perform a soft start of the drive motor, the frequency converter settings must be min. 5 sec “ramp up” and min. 3 sec ”ramp down”.

5.2.1 Level differences The maximum permitted difference between the water levels inside and outside the drum is 250 mm during normal operation (see Figure 5.4). The recommended level difference is 100– 200 mm. If an even flow after the filter is required, the filter must be run with a small level difference.
5.2.4 Service mode HAND HAND is only a service mode. In order to operate the filter in HAND mode, the following steps must be implemented: 1. Turn the mode selector shown in Figure 5.2 to the HAND position. 2. Once the mode selector has been turned to HAND, “HAND”...
The filter is not a pressure vessel. 6.2 Non-intended use Unless approved in writing by Hydrotech, the filter must not be used to filter liquids other than water. The filter must not be installed in an environment with an explosive atmosphere or another risk of explosion, such as high concentrations of dust.
7. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE 7.1 Backwash system The most common cause of operating disruptions in the backwash system is clogged nozzles. Clogging is caused by particles in the wash water and/or by e.g. biofouling in the pipe system. There are also nozzles that are self-cleaning and less sensitive to blocking than the conventional nozzles, see section 7.1.2.
Page 26
8. Check whether any of the nozzles are clogged by checking whether water runs through them. Clogged nozzles are cleaned as follows: Figure 7.3 Nozzle components. A.Nozzle attachment B. Rubber seal C. Nozzle tip D. Nozzle nut E. O-ring 9. Remove the nozzle nut by turning it a ¼ turn anticlockwise. Exercise care not to lose the rubber seal.
7.1.2 Self-cleaning nozzle Figure 7.4 below shows a self-cleaning nozzle. Figure 7.4 Nozzle components, self-cleaning nozzle. A. Set screw B. Nozzle attachment C. O-ring D. O-ring E. Nozzle tip F. Nozzle nut Operation and maintenance, Discfilter HSF2200-series PFLC...
7.2 Cleaning the Hydrotech wash water filter NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. If the pressure gauge indicates a pressure that is more than 0.5 bar below normal pressure, it’s time to clean the wash water filter. 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock.
7.3 Bearings NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. Stickers indicating the lubrication points are attached to the filter, see Fi- gure 7.6. Figure 7.6 7.3.1 Lubrication of swivel The swivel makes up the bearing between the backwash pipe and the connecting pipe for the backwash water (see Figure 7.7).
7.3.3 Checking drum bearing wear 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock. 2. Drain the chamber/filter tank. 3. Check the drum bearings with respect to wear. If the distance between the bearing housing (A) and the shaft (B) is less than 22 mm (see Figure 7.8), the drum bearing must be replaced.
7.4 Filter panels NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. 7.4.1 Additional cleaning Additional cleaning of the filter panels may be necessary. The need for additional cleaning be- comes clear if the frequency of automatic backwash starts increases. Additional cleaning can be chemical cleaning or cleaning with a high pressure washer.
For more detailed instructions, please contact your supplier. Hydrotech Discfilters in the HSF2200 series as standard are prepared with a chemical ramp to make removal of long-term clogging of the filter media possible. The Hydrotech chemical trolley HCT (option) is connected to the chemical ramp connection (see Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.6).
Page 33
If necessary clean the chemical ramp nozzles as described below: 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock. 2. Remove the nozzle by turning it ¼ turn anticlockwise (see Figure 7.13). 3. Clean the nozzle with compressed air or a plastic brush. Never use a wire brush, metal pins or similar as these can damage the nozzle.
7.4.4 Changing filter panels When replacing the filter panels it is important to maintain the balance of the drum. Remove/ refit every other filter panel. This prevents unintentional rotation of the drum and reduces the load on the drive chain and gearbox. Figure 7.14 Correct way of changing filter panels.
Page 35
5. Undo the filter segment cover screws and remove the cover, see Figure 7.18). Figure 7.18 The filter segment cover is removed. 6. Pull out the filter panel (see Figure 7.19). Figure 7.19 The filter panel is pulled out. Operation and maintenance, Discfilter HSF2200-series PFLC...

7. Insert a new filter panel and press in until it touches the bottom. NB Filter panels with steel frames must be po- sitioned with the filter cloth facing inwards (see Figure 7.20). Incorrect installation of the filter panels can cause damage to the filter segments. 8.
7.5 Drive chain NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. The filter is equipped with a chain drive. For technical data, see Appendices A and D. 7.5.1 Checking the drive chain 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock. 2.
7.5.2 Adjusting drive chain tension Adjust the drive chain tension as follows: 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock. 2. Loosen the four nuts (A) (see Figure 7.22). 3. Loosen the nut (B). 4.
7.5.3 Replacing the drive chain 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF position and lock with a padlock. 2. Lower the drive unit to its lowest position, see section 7.5.2. 3. Split and remove the drive chain. 4. Fit the new drive chain. 5.
7.7.2 Replacing the inlet gasket 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock. 2. Lower the water level in the filter until the whole inlet gasket is accessible. 3. Note how the inlet gasket is fitted before it is dismantled. 4.
8. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Check/Action Maintenance interval Check whether the wash water filter is clogged. See The interval is based on experience from the app- section 7.2. lication in question. (When the backwash water pressure drops 0.5 bar below the normal value.) Check the filter panels for clogging and damage.
