The flush valve is suitable for connection to DN 12-80 manifold or riser pipes.
Page 13
Product information Water exchange actuation The following additional or customer-provided components can actuate water exchange (flushing): Timer Building control system (BCS) Furthermore, the flush valve flushes all valves for 10 seconds every 72 hours (time-delayed cycle: 1.5 s open, 1.5 s closed) to prevent blocking of valves and stagnation of the water within the valve.
Page 14
Product information The flush valve comprises a siphon / odour trap. No addi- tional siphon is required outside of the flush valve. NOTICE! The dimension of the wastewater conduits must comply with the specifications of DIN 1986-100. Flowthrough monitoring During a water exchange, a flow switch checks whether water is dis- charged in the proper manner.

Handling 3.6.2 Carrying out inspections Weekly inspection The weekly inspection is required if the flush valve is not connected to a building control system or another higher-level control. Interval once per week Carried out by Skilled technician / instructed user Visually check the control indications.
Page 57
Handling Replacing the sieve Possibly, thorough cleaning of the sieve will be sufficient. CAUTION! Risk of burning due to hot magnetic coils! After prolonged water exchange, the magnet coils get hot. Do not touch them. Shut the water off. De-energise the flush valve. Disconnect the plug from the control.
Handling Checking the flow switch Press the Test button and keep pressed until the indication "Flow switch" emits light (already with 1 valve). Release the Test button. Carry out a test flushing. 3.6.4 Repairing In case of a malfunction, several components may require repairs. In this case, proceed as described in the following: Replacing the floating switch Shut the water off.
Page 59
Handling Disconnect and pull off the connection lines of the floating switch (SW 15). Compress the top of the siphon lid on both sides with your hands. ð The front lock comes off. With your thumb and forefinger, lift the siphon lid by 10–30 mm. 10 - 30 Slightly pull the lifted siphon lid forward.
Page 60
Handling Lift the siphon lid and disconnect the cables of the floating switch at the lid (1). Check the floating switch (note the indicators) and replace if neces- sary (2). Re-assemble the components in reverse order. Screw down the nut of the floating switch not more than hand-tight. Carry out a test flushing.
