FMA 9000 – Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Pay attention to the voltage specified in this manual and on the filter information label. Never use the filter if it is faulty. If the filter runs making unusual noises, excess vibration or it looks faulty, stop its running immediately and check its functionality.
FMA 9000 – Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 4. – FMA-9000 FILTER DESCRIPTION The filter is comprised of an exterior housing within which two separate chambers are contained: The first filtration chamber connects to the water inlet port where the Filter Mesh is located, and a second, backwashing chamber.
Page 11
FMA 9000 – Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual The suction scanner is a vital element of this technology. This scanner occupies the exact position that the central shaft of the filtering cartridge would occupy, and is hydraulically connected to the cleaning chamber. In turn, the suction nozzles are arranged perpendicularly in the area that it occupies in the filtration chamber, with the nylon bristles reaching a few microns away from the mesh.
FMA 9000 – Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 5. – FMA-9000 OPERATION The water enters the filtration chamber, passing through the fine mesh, producing surface mechanical filtration. This provides high quality water, per the degree of filtration chosen for the filtration mesh, which can vary from 10 microns to 2000 microns.

FMA 9000 – Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual NOTE THE FILTER MAY AUTOMATICALLY START THE BACKWASH CYCLE WHEN THERE IS A PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL OF 0.3 BAR (4.3 psi) BETWEEN THE INLET AND THE OUTLET. NOTE IN CASE SEVERAL FILTERS ARE WORKING IN PARALLEL WITH A COMMON CONTROL PANEL, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FILTER WHICH CONTROLS THE CLEANING IS THE ONE WITH THE PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS / PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLED INSIDE.
FMA 9000 – Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 10. – MAINTENANCE GUIDE Disconnect the filter from the power supply before performing any maintenance. Ensure the filter has been depressurized prior to loosening the screws. Avoid splashes and water leaks to minimize the personal risk of slipping or electric shock, and the damage that humidity can cause to the equipment.
Dismantle spindle cover (38.20) and side grille. Spindle Clean and lubricate both sides of the spindle. turret 6 months (element 38.20) Use lubricant from STF-Filtros. Check water-tightness of element (38.9) Replace internal joints: Rim water-tightness Ø45 O-ring seal x4 (element 38.8)
