Page 7: Primary Inspection
Stainless steel plumbing PRIMARY INSPECTION Upon arrival, the STS 6000-4GPM Automated Fuel Filtration System and accessories must be visually inspected before installation. Improper handling during shipping may cause physical or electrical problems. Immediately report or note any damages (also concealed ones) to the shipper. -
Page 8: Installation
(e.g.: remote shut down, external emergency stop button). Please note that the contact needs to be supplied with +24V DC from the power supply of the STS 6000 Algae-X Smart Filtration Controller. PLUMBING Use proper quality approved fuel line materials with at least 3/4”... -
Page 9: Typical Plumbing / Above Ground Tank Installation (Schematically)
If any of the STS 6000 system‟s fuel lines are used in combination with the engine‟s fuel system, Note: the STS 6000 should be disabled during engine operation (use the provided “remote pump shut down” feature as shown in the electrical drawing and described above).

Page 10: Priming The System
The pressure relief valve has a 35-40 PSI set point. System pressure in excess of 35-40 PSI will cause the pressure relief valve to open and vent fuel back to the fuel transfer pump inlet side. STS 6000-4GPM ALGAE-X 2007-Rev. B... -

“AUTO” mode positions or till an alarm or overload has been tripped. PROGRAMMING THE TIMER The programmable timer is part of the Micro PLC settings of the Algae-X Smart Filtration Controller located inside the STS 6000 system. The PLC uses military time – all times programmed must be in that format. -
Page 13: Fuel Line Leak
STABILIZING AND OPTIMIZING FUEL QUALITY We recommend treating the fuel with the ALGAE-X® 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. Depending on the condition of the fuel and the amount of sludge build-up, it is recommended to initially use a double dose of one to twenty-five hundred (1:2500) instead of one to five thousand (1:5000) This has proven to be essential in accelerating the tank cleaning process. -

The signal indicates that it is time to change the filter element. There are several types of Algae-X spin on fine filters available; we recommend using the WBS-3 (3 micron water block fine filter). The Algae-X Water Block incorporates polymer technology to remove emulsified water from fuel. -
