STS 7030 Programmable Automated Fuel Filtration System STS 7030 Programmable Automated Fuel Filtration Systems are self-contained, stand-alone systems that remove and prevent the buildup of water, sludge and contaminants in tanks. They stabilize diesel and bio-fuels, eliminate microbial contami- nation to optimize and maintain fuel quality. STS systems guarantee Optimal Fuel Quality for Reliable Power at All Times.

Outlet ..................1-1/2” NPT male port Max. Fluid Viscosity ............5 cSt Note: The STS 7030 is designed to meet environmental standards for safe operation. (NOT for use with fluids that have a flash point below 100°F (38°C), e.g.: gasoline, alcohol, …)
Immediately report or note any damages (also concealed ones) to the shipper. CHECKLIST: o If the packing crate shows signs of damage inspect the STS 7030 cabinet for damage. Check the entire outside of the cabinet for damage that could indicate internal mechanical or electrical problems.
MOUNTING The STS 7030 is a totally enclosed system and should be permanently wall mounted on a hard, level surface. Use provided mounting feet for proper fastening. This weatherproof unit is designed for well- ventilated indoor or outdoor use within specified temperature range and should be located as close to the tank as possible.
1-1/2” inner diameter on the return / discharge side back to the tank. Note: Do not put any stress on plumbing of STS 7030 and use a backing wrench when connecting the external plumbing. Whenever possible a FLEXIBLE CONNECTION SHOULD BE USED TO REDUCE STRESS on the plumbing and prevent damage from thermal expansion.
It is highly recommended to plumb the discharge line independent and separate of the engine’s fuel return line back to the tank. If the return line from the engine and the discharge of the STS 7030 have to be combined in any way, adequate valves should be installed to prevent any possible interference with safe engine operation.
! WARNING ! If the pump is allowed to run without fuel, pump damage will occur. The pump head of the STS 7030 unit is shipped from the factory filled with Diesel #2 to facilitate initial lubrication. This will not eliminate the necessity to prime the complete system. The STS 7030 is primed by using the externally installed priming tee (not provided) on the suction side of the system.
TOUCH-SCREEN CONTROLLER - ALARM FEATURES The STS 7030 is equipped with an AXI INTERNATIONAL Touch-Screen Controller. System and alarm status are displayed on the industrial control panel (on the door) via indicator lights and on the text display directly on the controller.
Please make sure system is properly primed and check when pump running for a steady stream of fuel without air bubbles in the mechanical flow meter (indicator) inside the STS 7030 enclosure. If the “NO FLOW ALARM” alarm light is blinking (and after 10 seconds illuminate continuously as the pump is turned off) the flow switch located on the side of the mechanical flow meter needs to be adjusted to the actual flow rate.
! WARNING ! Never use the STS 7030 at a temperature exceeding the flash point of its contents. EMERGENCY STOP Note: In case of an emergency the pump can be turned off and disabled by depressing the red “EMERGENCY STOP”...
Local regulations. STABILIZING AND OPTIMIZING FUEL QUALITY We recommend treating the fuel with the AXI INTERNATIONAL Fuel Catalyst (AFC-705). This will enhance and accelerate the tank cleaning process by breaking down and dissolving existing tank sludge. AFC-705 will decontaminate compartments of the tank that are out of reach of the suction line.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE The STS 7030 Automatic Fuel Filtration System should be visually inspected and tested a minimum of every six months according to the procedure below during light duty cycles.

Slide flow switch back into original position and reset alarm by pushing the “RESET ALARM” button. Note: If any of the above described alarm test procedures fail or if any alarm trip value deviates immediately contact AXI International. Note: All filter elements should be replaced at least every six months.
