Checking the scope of delivery Checking the scope of delivery The filtration unit comes factory-assembled. Check the scope of delivery for completeness prior to start up. The following items are supplied: Designation Filtromat - OF5 with FCU Filter element (acc. model code, see page 40) Operation and Maintenance Instructions, OF5 (this document) Operation and Maintenance Instructions, FCU 2000 Series Filtromat –...
Checking the scope of delivery Working principle of the unit Druckschlauch Saugschlauch Pressure hose Suction hose The pressure fluid is drawn in from a tank at zero pressure by the suction hose, pumped through the filter and purified. The purified pressure fluid exits the filtration unit through the pressure hose. Part of the pressure fluid that is drawn in is diverted to the Fluid Control Unit FCU by an auxiliary pump.
Preparing the unit for operation Preparing the unit for operation NOTICE Damaged/brittle hoses Leakages in the hose/fluid may escape Before start-up, always check the hoses for damage/brittleness. ► Prior to start-up, check to see whether there is a filter element in the filter housing.
Preparing the unit for operation Hanging/connecting the pressure hose Pull the pressure hose (thin hose) with lance out of the mounting in the floor plate. Using the lance, put the pressure hose with the lance into the appropriate reservoir without straining or twisting it, and secure the suction hose to prevent it from falling out or floating.

Switching on the unit Switching on the unit Switch the unit on at the main switch (81). The FCU is supplied with power and starts the self-test. Once the suction and pressure hoses have been connected according to the chapters on page 20/21 switch the pump on at the on switch (82) in order to pump the fluid.
Switching on the unit Operating selector switch - Controlled by FCU ON/OFF The selector switch (83) can be used to switch between the Controlled by FCU "ON" and Controlled by FCU "OFF" operating modes. Operating mode – Controlled by FCU "OFF" The unit filters in continuous operation until the filter element is worn out.
Unit in operation Unit in operation max. 5 min Pre-fill the pump if the unit is not feeding medium after a maximum of 5 minutes of operation. To do this, switch the motor off and fill the unit using the suction hose.

Unit in operation A clogging indicator on the filtration unit shows the contamination level of the filter element. When operating the filtration unit with a new filter element and a fluid viscosity of < 100mm²/s, the pressure gauge shows minimal pressure at most. The pressure gauge measures the back-pressure upstream of the filter cartridge and is an indication of the degree of contamination of the filter cartridge as...
Unit in operation Venting the filter housing Once the unit has started and is pumping fluid, bleed the filter housing. To do this, open the air bleed screw (A) while the pump is running so that the air can escape from the filter housing. If fluid leaks out, close and tighten the air bleed screw (A).
Measuring the cleanliness class Measuring the cleanliness class Power is supplied to the FCU when the OF5 is switched on at the main switch. After a short time, the display of the FCU shows: Measure -> OK/START Cancel -> STOP start Press the key on the FCU.
Performing maintenance Performing maintenance Changing the filter element NOTICE Unsuitable/incorrect filter element The medium is not filtered Use only filter elements with the type code suffix -KB ► (for example: 1300 R 003 BN4HC /-KB) The unit has an optical back-pressure indicator (red/green) in the filter cover. Filtromat –...

Performing maintenance 10. Put the cover on. Observe correct placement of the O-ring on the cover while doing so. It must not be damaged. 11. Fold the four screws up and turn them clockwise evenly crosswise. 12. Close the drain valve. 13.
Performing maintenance Cleaningthe suction strainer NOTICE Operation without a suction strainer The unit will be destroyed Never operate the filtration unit without a suction strainer. ► Clean the suction screen regularly. ► To protect the pump from coarse contamination or foreign bodies, a suction screen is installed in the suction lance.
Page 35
Performing maintenance To clean the suction screen, proceed as follows: Rotate the protection pipe (5) away from the suction lance (2) in a clockwise direction. Remove the suction screen (4) from the protection pipe. Clean the suction screen (4) by washing it out and then blowing it dry with compressed air.
