➢ Always observe standard safety instructions and good engineering practices whilst working in the filter’s vicinity. ➢ Use the filter only for its intended use as designed by Amiad, any misuse of the filter may lead to undesired damage and may affect your warranty coverage.
➢ Commissioning the filter should be done by an authorized Amiad technician, do not attempt to commission the filter unaccompanied since this may lead to undesired damage and may affect your warranty coverage.
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.
The SAF-1500 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-operate automatic filter, with a self-cleaning mechanism driven by an electric motor. The SAF-1500 is designed to work with various types of screens in filtration degrees from 500 to 10 micron, and is available in 2", 3" and 4" inlet/outlet diameter.

The filtration system may enter a malfunction mode in the following cases: 1st. When there is a continuous signal from the pressure differential switch for a duration of more than the pre- set time. This means that the self-cleaning process is not successful. 2nd.
INSTALLATION Design recommendations: 1. If flow increases and pressure drops dramatically for a long period of time during network filling-up, it is recommended that a pressure sustaining valve is installed downstream. The pressure sustaining valve will ensure a controlled filling-up of the line.

Start-up and first operation 1. Make sure all the electric wiring is correct, according to the enclosed drawings. Switch the control & 24V circuit breakers and the motor protector to ON. The motor will start operating *. The suction scanner shaft should turn clockwise and move towards the filter housing until it reaches limit switch "A". If the motor rotates in the opposite direction, disconnect the electricity immediately and change the direction of the motor rotation by changing between two phases.
MAINTENANCE General inspection In order to check the proper operation of the filter, close the low-pressure 1/4" valve to the pressure differential switch for a period of 5 seconds. This will initiate the self-cleaning cycle: Check that the exhaust valve opens, that the scanner moves forwards, and when it reaches the limit switch - verify that the exhaust valve closes.

Maintenance prior to re-operation: 1. Connect the control board to the power supply. 2. Check proper operation of the filter. 3. Grease the drive shaft and the drive bushing. 4. If necessary, change the Sealing nut internal O-Ring. IMPORTANT!! THE DRIVE SHAFT MUST BE LUBRICATED WITH HEAVY-DUTY, WATER RESISTANT GREASE THAT WILL NOT OXIDIZE.
DISMANTLING AND ASSEMBLING THE FILTER COMPONENTS Prior to opening the filter perform a flush cycle by pressing the "TEST" push button. Dismantling the screens: 1. Close the filter inlet and outlet valves and release the pressure by operating a flushing cycle, Disconnect power supply from the control board.

Dismantling the drive shaft housing: 1. Close the inlet valve to the filter, release the pressure and disconnect power supply from the control board. 2. Dismantle the suction scanner and screens as described previously. 3. Remove the limit switch sling (6 p.24) from the drive shaft housing by unscrewing the bolts. Carefully put the limit switch sling near the filter to avoid any damage to the electrical wires.
