CARBON STEEL PLUMBING PRIMARY INSPECTION Upon arrival, the STS 6000-P35 Automatic Fuel Filtration System and accessories must be visually inspected before installation. Improper handling during shipping may cause physical or electrical problems. Immediately report or note any damages (also concealed ones) to the shipper.
(e.g.: remote shut down, remote pump control, …). Please note that the contact needs to be supplied with +24V DC from the power supply of the STS 6000 AXI International Smart Filtration Controller. Remote Monitoring - Dry Contacts: The STS provides two NO (normally open) dry contacts for remote alarm monitoring.
(swing) check valve may be required on the return line(s) on some installations to prevent back flow pressure. Multiple suction and/or return lines may be connected to a manifold outside the STS-6000 (see options list). Anti-Siphon or other external plumbing devices may be required – please check local regulations / code.
SMART FILTRATION CONTROLLER - ALARM FEATURES The STS 6000 is equipped with an AXI International Smart Filtration Controller. System and alarm status are displayed on the industrial control panel (on the door) via indicator lights and on the text display directly on the controller.
SYSTEM OPERATION Apply control power to unit. Place breakers in the AXI International Smart Filtration Controller in the “ON” position. Automatic: Place the key switch in the “AUTO” position. When the timer contacts close, the solenoid will open until the timer setting has expired.
Local regulations. STABILIZING AND OPTIMIZING FUEL QUALITY We recommend treating the fuel with the AXI INTERNATIONAL Fuel Catalyst (AFC-705). This will enhance and accelerate the tank cleaning process by breaking down and dissolving existing tank sludge. AFC-705 will decontaminate compartments of the tank that are out of reach of the suction line.
Inspect all filters and separators. See section below on filter inspection and service. Note: If any of the above described alarm test procedures fail or if any alarm trip value deviates immediately contact AXI International. Note: All filter elements should be replaced at least every six months.
SERVICING PRIMARY FILTER Set the telltale gauge pressure indicator (red pointer) to slightly above the black needle prior to operation. The gauge will indicate maximum vacuum pressure during system operation. Clogging filter elements restrict the flow of fuel and the system’s pressure gauge will indicate a pressure drop.
PRESSURE ALARM” indicator light. The signal indicates that it is time to change the filter elements. There are several types of AXI International spin on fine filters available; we recommend using the WB-3 (3 micron water block fine filter). The AXI International Water Block incorporates polymer technology to remove emulsified water from fuel.
TROUBLESHOOTING No fuel delivery 1. Pump does not run 2. Pump is not primed 3. Fuel supply line blocked 4. Excessive lift 5. Air leak in fuel supply to pump 6. Pump rotation direction incorrect 7. Intake or outlet valve closed 8.
3. Failures due to alterations, adjustments, unauthorized changes to the product(s), neglect or improper storage, repair and/or maintenance. 4. Failures due to abuse or application of the product(s) for uses other than for which it/they are designed or intended by AXI International, including but not limited to, improper installation or location in a harsh, corrosive or saltwater environment.
