Maintenance Before any maintenance or non-regular operation please read the following: Servicing the filter should be done only by technicians authorized by Amiad. Disconnect the filter from the power supply and lock the Main Power Switch. Disconnect the compressed air supply, release the residual pressure and lock the Pneumatics Main Valve.
INTRODUCTION General Description The FILTOMAT MG110 is a sophisticated, yet easy-to-operate automatic filter, with a self-cleaning mechanism driven by a hydraulic turbine. It is designed to work with various types of screens in filtration degrees from 800 to 50 micron, and is available in 10" inlet/outlet diameter.

How the Flushing Controller Works The flushing controller is operated by 12 VDC. It receives a signal from the Differential Pressure Switch when the pressure differential reaches the preset value (0.5 Bar, 7 PSI). The flushing controller then sends a 12 VDC pulse to the Pulse Solenoid, which provides hydraulic pressure to the Hydraulic Relay which actuates the piston.
INSTALLATION Design Recommendations The inlet and outlet pipes must be the same or a larger diameter than the inlet and outlet diameters of the filter. The upstream pressure source should not drop below 30 psi (2 bar) during the rinse cycle. If this cannot be ensured, consult the manufacturer.
FIRST-TIME OPERATION 1. Remove a plastic plug from one of the outlet holes on the top of the filter to bleed air from the filter. 2. Open the inlet valve. 3. Close the plastic plug when all the air is bled from the filter. 4.
Page 14
Replacing the Piston 1. Drain the filter. 2. Remove the eight nuts holding the piston and cylinder assembly, and remove the assembly. 3. Inspect the suction scanner to make sure it moves freely in its bearings and the end that mates with piston is not damaged. 4.
Maintenance It is recommended to inspect the filter once a year, in the off season. Remove the filter as described above and inspect the screen and O-rings, clean as necessary, and lubricate with silicone grease before reassembling. In cases where clogging of the inlet screen occurs, experience with the local conditions will determine how often the screen should be checked as a routine.
PROGRAMMING THE FLUSHING CONTROLLER Amiad’s Flushing-Controllers product line is a family of electronic devices capable of controlling the flushing process of various automatic-filter models. Currently this line consists of three products; one AC controller and two DC controllers. This document is the user-manual of the 6 solenoids DC Controller and it describes the configuration process and the operation procedures of the V7 controller version.

2. Only a qualified technician may remove this lid and only when the controller is properly disconnected from its power source. 3. Servicing the unit can be done only by Amiad’s qualified technician. 4. Make sure that the filters controlled by the controller are disconnected from the water system whenever servicing the controller.

The controller's enclosure is made of Polycarbonate and is designed for outdoor use (IP 65). B. Flushing Methods This chapter lists and describes the sequence of operation of the major flushing methods possible to operate using Amiad Flushing Controller: 1. Controlling Amiad TAF Electronic filter:...
Page 20
A battery of TAF filters: A battery of Amiad TAF filters consists of several TAF filters installed in parallel and serves the same water system. Each one of these filters has its own flushing controller but the actual DP sensor is connected only to the first filter of the battery.
Page 21
A battery of automatic screen or gravel media filters consists of 2-6 filters installed in parallel and serves the same water system, where one Amiad Flushing Controller controls the system. This arrangement allows a sequential flushing process where only one filter flushes at a time and the filters are flushed one after the other.
Page 22
A battery of screen or gravel media filters with a Main Valve: Starting the flushing cycle: The same as in “A single TAF filter” above. The flushing cycle: The Main Valve solenoid is switched on and closes the battery’s Main Valve. The controller counts down the “Delay Main Valve Close”...

C. The User Interface Panel Amiad’s Flushing Controller User Interface Panel consists of: Display screen - a 2 X 16 characters LCD display. (See picture on the front page of this manual.) Keyboard – a 5 keys keyboard divided into 4 directional Arrow keys and an Enter key.

D. Entering Data When the controller is first installed it is necessary to enter and/or adjust its basic parameters. These parameters, entered to the controller’s nonvolatile memory through a Configuration Process, enable it to perform the suitable flushing method designed for the type of filters it serves. Once the controller is properly configured a Flushing Program has to be entered.

The layout of the screens involved in the configuration process can be found on page 11 of this manual. The following table describes each one of the screens of the configuration process and it contains three columns. The first column shows the screen number as appears at the upper left corner of the screen drawing in the layout diagram on page 11 of this manual.

G. Monitoring During the regular operation of the controller it is possible to: Monitor the current status of the controller Read information on past activities of the system Perform manual operation and intervene in the flushing process Read and monitor the voltage of the controllers battery The layout of the screens involved in the controller’s Monitoring can be found on page 10 of this manual.
Page 33
H. Handling faults Amiad’s flushing controller can detect and respond to filter clogs. This is done by monitoring the status of the D.P. signal. The user can configure the controller’s response through the following two screens: Number Screen Description If by the end of a flushing cycle the D.P signal remains ON the controller...

Battery and power levels: In order to prolong the battery life the controller switches off the display screen of the unit once the keyboard is not used. In such case the operation of the unit continues as usual. Press any key to switch on the display screen. The required voltage level for regular operation is 4.7-12 Volts.

D.P. input of an external controller (slave). This pulse lasts 5 seconds and takes place after all the other outputs of the flushing process have been activated and de-activated. See “Chaining Amiad Controllers” drawing at the end of this chapter.
Page 36
Installing and replacing the batteries: The controller is powered by four D batteries. The unit starts to operate automatically 10 seconds after inserting the batteries. Alternatively, an external 6-12V DC supply can be connected to the power connection terminal; (Labeled as 6- 12 VDC on the terminal board circuit board.) If an external power supply is connected while a set of batteries is installed, the batteries are served as a backup and are not in use as long as the external power supply is connected.
Page 38
Chaining Amiad Controllers: In order to operate a battery of screen or gravel media filters that include a larger number of filters than one Amiad’s Flushing Controller can handle, it is possible to chain few controllers for the job. The D.P. switch that reads the pressure drop across the battery is connected to the first controller of the chain (the Master). The SEQ (or End of Cycle) output of the master controller is connected to the D.P.

Valve is used for sampling the flushing water. Amiad’s Flushing Controller contains two parameters which allow the user to control a filtration system that requires a Delay Valve; these are the “Delay Valve Open” and the “Delay Valve Close” parameters...
