Check that all cables and connecting lines are attached to the points planned for Before initial operation of the automatic backflush filter F450 the operating per- sonnel have to convince itself of the faultless state by prescribed controls. 1.3.3 Transport/Location Absolutely consider the transportation and attitude information.
Replace damaged or strongly worn components of the compressed air unit im- mediately. All work on the compressed air unit of the automatic backflush filter F450 is to be carried out in the operating stop only. For this the compressed air unit is to be set out of operation and into pressure-free condition.
1.3.6 Safety at setting out of operation Take care that the automatic backflush filter F450 is safeguarded against unau- thorized reenergizing after setting out of operation. Mark the power switch in the control unit by a warning „Out of order“ and secure the power switch against un- authorized restarting with a suitable locking device.
The determined malfunction may be repaired only with switched off automatic backflush filter F450! The automatic backflush filter F450 may be set into operation again only after cut out the malfunction. A safety check and a functional test are to be carried out.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Description General description The automatic backflush filter F450 is a versatile applicable, self-cleaning, as far as possible maintenance-free filter to remove individual contamination of high loaded liquids (200 mg/l) from natural sources of water (e.g. seawater, river wa- ter), warming and/or cooling circuits and processes.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 2.2.1 Description of the operational functions The operation of the automatic backflush filter F450 is divided into the normal operation and the flushing phases: Normal operation The filter is in the normal filtration phase. The flushing valve is closed and the piston...

Automatic Backflush Filter F450 2.2.2 Control of the automatic backflush filter F450 The automatic backflush filter F450 will be controlled via keypad of the electronic control box or remote-controlled and telemonitored by a host over the serial inter- face. The programmable control unit supervises at defined measuring points the pres- sure within the entry region of the filter.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 General data Signs and name plates The automatic backflush filter F450 is equipped with signs and a name plate! Always consider the hints, instructions and operating values appropriate on the signs and name plate! Fig. 3-1 Name plate Standard State: 05.02.2016 –...
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Sound emission The noise level of the automatic backflush filter F450 is lower than 80 dB(A). The measurement was taken acc. Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, 1.7.4.2 (u). In operation the generation of noise depends on the process conditions resp. the totality of the plant, in which the filter is installed.
Before installation Requirements of the conduit system For the full functionality of the automatic backflush filter F450, the following re- quirements must be met and kept: The medium supply pipe and drain pipe must be laid in streamline.
chapter 4.1 „Before installation“ in this chapter Crush hazard! The weights of the automatic backflush filter F450, the cover assembly and the strainer insert you will see in the acceptance report. During transport and the assembly, crush injuries of the fingers, hands and/or the feet could happen.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Installation Mounting the filter without mechanically tension In order to guarantee the proper function and optimal lifetime, the filter must be mounted without mechanically tension in the pipe. The filter cover with the pneumatic cylin- der can be delivered separately from fil- ter body.

The voltage supply has to be made as a fixed installation. Function failure by wrong handling Guarantee that the automatic backflush filter F450 is not supplied with pressure, as long as the filter is switched off and/or the OPERATION contact is opened, in order to avoid damages of the strainer insert.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Steps for setting into operation The following procedures have to be done before setting into operation: Before setting into operation check the proper condition of the electric ca- bles and connections of the control (Check the cable connections for fixed fit).
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Setting into operation Start up the electronic control by switching on the main switch (see chapter 9 “Illustrations”, Fig. 9-2 resp. Fig. 9-4) at the control unit. After switching on the control unit the piston drives to the upper end position and the filtration can be started also at any time by pressing the key Spülen/Flush.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Testing and adjusting of the operating parameters Implement the following steps, in order to check the proper function of the filter. 4.6.1 Switch on control with the power switch, first flushing phase/pre-flushing check By activating the power switch the control automatically switches into filtration operation (default setting).
Check of proper terminating of flushing The flushing valve closes some seconds after the flushing disc is moved back in- to the initial position. The LCD display at the control indicates “F450“ and “Filtra- tion” in the change with the remaining interval time T1.
The time and date will be buffered over 5 hours in case of a power blackout. After the switch-on of control system the time and date has to be adjusted in the parameter menu (see specification of control unit, appendix „Filter control F450“). 4.6.7 Operating parameter Recommended alignment of the operating parameters (reference value –...
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Service and operation The controlling of the automatic backflush filter F450 is done by an electronic control unit. The parameters will be entered via keyboard or the integrated serial interface box. The control unit presents in some sub items different operating possibilities.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Maintenance In this chapter all necessary maintenance of the automatic backflush filter F450 is described in detail. It is absolutely necessary to ensure that the filter is not under pressure before starting maintenance, because the automatic backflush F450 is a pressure ves- sel and that it is drained, if the filter shall be opened.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Pneumatic cylinder After removing the flushing disc the pneumatic cylinder may be completely removed by loosening the four flange screws on the cover and inspected for damage. Seals The cover seal is accessible if the filter is open and may be inspected of damages and replaced if necessary.
Automatic Backflush Filter F450 Error search and trouble shooting This chapter describes possible potential malfunction, their causes and how to repair. Prior to any maintenance and repair work, the filter has to be de-energized and safeguarded against unintentional reenergizing! The zero potential is to be determined! Neighbouring energized parts are to be...
