FAM Set-up and Connection

Setting up the FAM

The following points are to be observed when setting up the FAM:

Place the unit on a horizontal and level surface.
Special mounting is not required.

The locking brakes on the wheels must be locked to avoid unintended
movement of the unit (only on the mobile version).

Position the FAM in the immediate vicinity of the tank to be cleaned. Observe
the maximum permitted suction pressure. See page 32.

Observe the ambient temperature on the type label of the FAM.

Sufficient room to operate and maintain the unit must be left around the main
switch.

An area of at least 0.8 m must be kept free for maintenance purposes on both
the left hand and right hand sides of the FAM.

Take care to ensure free access to the control panel and that the control cabinet
can be opened completely.

Notes on Piping / Hosing

Non-permitted pressure at the inlet IN / outlet OUT
Failure malfunction
► Determine the pressure to be anticipated at the inlet / outlet with the
prescribed values.
Note that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping, must be at least as large
as the cross-section of the inlet/outlet port sizes.
In order to keep the pressure loss as low as possible, use as few threaded
connections as possible.
The pressure at the inlet/outlet depends on the height differential between the FAM
fluid surface in the tank port (aspiration height

( P ).
(line)
If the FAM is above the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar -
If the FAM is below the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar +
