Design and function Design and function Description of the Component Assem‐ blies Reservoir The PP reservoir is divided into two separate chambers, so that a sufficient maturing time for the polymer solution can be ensured. The division of the reservoir prevents the matured and freshly pre‐ pared solution from mixing and ensures continuous discharge.
Design and function Terminal Box The Ultromat has a terminal box for connection to an external ® control. The control is provided by the operator. Crane Lifting Lugs A suitable hoisting can be attached to the four crane lifting lugs. Ultromat ®...
Assembly and Installation Assembly and Installation The system is fully pre-assembled ex works. The cabling between the terminal box and the electrical power units is fully installed. Assembly WARNING! High fill weight in the system Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries. Ensure that the position of the system can bear the weight of the system when full.
Assembly and Installation Installation - Electrical WARNING! Danger of electric shock! Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries – The electrical installation may only be performed by a qualified electrician – Always disconnect the system from the mains power supply and prevent it from being re-con‐ nected before undertaking any installation work in the electrical connections –...
