AF800N 1. Introduction General YAMIT Filtration Ltd congratulates you on purchasing the AF800N SERIES self- cleaning filter. This filter is part of the wide family of filters produced and supplied by YAMIT for agriculture, municipal water and sewage systems, and all types of industrial applications.
AF800N 3. Description & Operation Filter Assembly General Description (Figure 1) The AF800N SERIES self-cleaning filter enables high quality filtration from grades of 80-1000 micron from various types of fluid sources such as sewage, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, and wells. The AF800N SERIES filter contains the following parts: 1.

AF800N Filter Operation - General Description (Figure 1) Water enters the filter through the “Inlet” (1) and passes through the coarse screen (2) that functions as a “first stop” for rough particles. Water then reaches the fine screen (3), which further purifies the flow by separating smaller particles from the water.
AF800N 4. Technical Data Standard Features Minimum operating pressure: 2 bar (29 psi) Maximum operating pressure: 10 bar (145 psi) Clean filter pressure loss: 0.1bar (1.45 psi) Maximum water temperature: 65°C (149°F) Filtration range: 80-1000 microns Control voltage: 6V 12V DC, 24V AC, 220V AC Flush water consumption (at minimum working pressure): 80 liters (21 gallons)
AF800N 5. Initial Installation & Operation General The filter assembly is protectively packed with all parts assembled. Installation Remove the filter assembly from the wood platform. Connect the filter assembly to the inlet line and outlet line. Connect a drain pipe to the hydraulic flushing valve outlet opening (at least 63 mm plastic pipe or 2"...

AF800N Initial Operation Gradually open the inlet valve (make sure that the outlet valve, if installed, is open). Check the filter assembly and its connections for leaks. Perform a flushing cycle manually by pushing the test button located on the outside of the control box (See Figure 3). Verify that the hydraulic piston fully extends during back flush.
AF800N 6. Maintenance & Periodical Checks 6.1 - 6V (4 x 1.5V) Battery Removal & Installation The 4 x 1.5V battery enables the electronic control unit's operation. The battery can last for 3000 flushing cycles, but should be replaced every six months.
AF800N 6.2 - Control Card Removal & Replacement Disconnect the controller from power (AC) or remove batteries (DC) Remove upper and lower cover. If there are any outputs card connected to the controller disconnect them. Unscrew 5 screws (Red Circles). Disconnect power wires (Both AC &...

AF800N 6.3 - Solenoid Removal & Replacement The solenoid hydraulically controls the flushing valve's operation. 1. Remove the upper cove, disconnect and remove the 4 x 1.5V batteries. 2. Disconnect the solenoid control tubes. 3. Remove the fittings from the damaged solenoid. 4.
AF800N 6.4 - Hydraulic Piston Assembly Removal & Replacement The hydraulic piston enables the linear movement of the dirt collector. 1. Close the inlet and the outlet line valves. 2. Verify that the filter is drained prior to service. 3. Disconnect the control tube from the piston assembly’s upper section. 4.
AF800N 6.5 - Coarse Screen Removal & Installation 1. Close the inlet and the outlet line valves. 2. Verify that the filter is drained prior to service. 3. Remove the nuts and washers connecting the cover to the filter housing. 4.
AF800N 6.6 - Fine Screen Assembly Removal & Installation 1. Close the inlet and the outlet line valves. 2. Verify that the filter is drained prior to service. 3. Remove the nuts and washers connecting the cover to the filter housing. 4.
AF800N 6.7 - Dirt Collector Removal & Installation 1. Close the inlet and the outlet line valves. 2. Verify that the filter is drained prior to service. 3. Remove the nuts and washers connecting the cover to the filter housing. 4.
AF800N 6.8 - Periodical Checks Perform yearly or periodical checks at the beginning of the season, according to the following: 1. Replace the 4X1.5V batteries at the beginning of every season or every six months; refer to "Batteries Removal & Replacement". 2.
AF800N 7. Troubleshooting Pressure difference between inlet and outlet - above 0.5 bar 1. Check the differential pressure indicator adjustment. 2. Verify that the line pressure matches the filter’s operational pressure. 3. Perform an additional flushing cycle manually by pushing the test button located on the outside of the control box.

AF800N 9. Appendixes 9.1 - Filtron 1-10 (AC/DC) List of features •The FILTRON 1-10 is a modular controller suitable for flushing 1 to 10 filters •The FILTRON 1-10 is available in both DC or AC models •The FILTRON 1-10 can be ordered with a built-in analog DP sensor that enables reading the actual value as well as triggering the flushing cycle by a preset value.

AF800N The flush mode The Flush Mode defines how the flushing cycles are triggered. The selectable options are as follows: no flushing will take place By time in this case the flushing cycle will be repeated in a selected interval or will be triggered by the DP signal depending on what happens first.
Page 32
AF800N During the configuration process the following features are defined: Main valve (sustaining valve) YES/NO. When the answer is YES the Pre Dwell delay between the main valve opening and the opening of Station nr. 1 can be defined. The selectable delay steps are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 seconds.

AF800N Handling low pressure When a closed contact indication is received at the low pressure input of the controller, a symbol will appear blinking at the display. All activities will stop, including the countdown to the next flushing cycle. If the low pressure happens while a flushing sequence is in process, when the low pressure condition finishes, the flushing sequence will start from the beginning rather than continuing from the stop point.
