FM/PC, FM-Case/PC, Filter/PC Installing the filter module The frame only serves as a bracket, not as a seal. The fil- ter plate is tight itself. NOTE Make sure that the frame is clean for the mounting. If solid parti- cles such as sand grains are between the frame and filter plate, the membrane could be damaged when the frame parts are screwed together.
Maintenance / cleaning FM/PC, FM-Case/PC, Filter/PC Further proceeding as described in the operating manual of your analyzer (chapter C OMMISSIONING Bild 4-2 Filtration unit (filter module mounted on the guide slide) Maintenance / cleaning Cleaning the filter plate When to clean the filter plate can be determined empirically based on the negative pressure display on the filtration pump.
FM/PC, FM-Case/PC, Filter/PC Maintenance / cleaning approx. -0.1 bar. If the negative pressure increases by a further -0.3 ... -0.4 bar with time, the filter plate is covered with solid matter from the sample and has to be cleaned. When the contamination of the filter plate grows, the negative pres- sure in the non-active condition of the filtration pump increases.
Maintenance / cleaning FM/PC, FM-Case/PC, Filter/PC • Do not dismantle the filter plate (Filter/PC) from the frame (FM- Case/PC). Rinse off any coarse contamination with low water pressure (e.g. with a watering can or wash bottle).

FM/PC, FM-Case/PC, Filter/PC Maintenance / cleaning In the event of calcification, diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl) is recom- mended (0.01 mol/l HCl, 0.036%, pH 2). Preparing the cleaning The cleaning solution for the filter plate can be made from different solution detergent concentrates by diluting with water.
Maintenance / cleaning FM/PC, FM-Case/PC, Filter/PC Monitor the success of the cleaning and extend the reaction time as necessary. After the chemical cleaning, rinse the filter module with clean water. Even filter plates that are supposedly irreversibly blocked may be restored by leaving them in the cleaning solution for a longer period of time and then rinsing them several times.
