Preparing the module for operation Preparing the module for operation Setting up the module The module has 4 casters. Before pushing, release the hand brake on the casters. Push the module on the casters into the required position. Always use the handles when pushing the CTM-EF. When you have positioned and aligned the module, set the brakes on all the casters.
Preparing the module for operation Connecting the EF module to the SC The module comes pre-installed. Before starting it up, please check the following: • Carefully read the operating and maintenance instructions for the CTM- SC and the software operating instructions for the CTM-EF. •...
Preparing the module for operation Electrical connection of the module The module is supplied with a power plug fitted. DANGER Electric shock Danger of fatal injury Never connect the CTM-EF to a power outlet ► without a ground connection. Before plugging the module into the power socket, make sure that the voltage available corresponds to that specified on its name plate.
Switching the module on and off Switching the module on and off When pairing the CTM-SC and the CTM EF, switch the EF module on first, using the main switch. Once you have done this, switch on the CTM-SC module. The SC module will automatically detect that an EF module is connected to it.
Module functional principle Module functional principle The components are connected to the corresponding hoses and flushed out using a defined, clean test liquid. The particles carried by the test liquid are collected on a membrane for subsequent analysis. The results provide information on the type, size and mass of contamination.

Performing maintenance Maintenance work The maintenance and servicing to be performed periodically is described here. The CTM’s serviceability, operational reliability and service life substantially depend on performing maintenance and servicing work regularly and carefully. Check all hoses for leaks or signs of brittleness Visually inspect the electrics.
Performing maintenance Checking / Replacing hoses Replace the hydraulic hoses every six years at the latest. The six operating years include two years' storage duration for normal requirements in accordance with the rules of the Employers Liability Insurance Association BGR 237 for normal requirements. Every 2 years for multi-shift operation.
Performing maintenance Cleaning the diffuser on the filter membrane holder Clean the filter membrane holder at least once a week. Open the coupling (1) and remove the diffuser (3). Clean the diffuser (3) by blowing it out with compressed air. Put the diffuser into the filter membrane holder and screw the coupling (1) finger tight.
