    Figure 2: Hazard warning 2 Since different devices each may have a special medium contained within, Spirotech cannot predict which medium the respective system will use. This also applies to harmful mixtures of media that may be used in the system.
  • Page 7 Figure 4: Filling and emptying tap of the pressuriser Another filling and emptying tap is located on the lower flange of the container. This is also used for maintenance purposes, where harmful media and hot system medium can escape when the tap is opened. In this case there is a risk of scalding!

  • Page 10: Ce Mark

    3.2. CE mark The device is CE labelled. This means that the device has been developed, built and tested in accordance with the applicable health and safety regulations. Provided that the operating instructions are followed, the device can be used and maintained safely. 3.3. Type plate The rating plate of the device is located on the side of the device and is shown in the illustration below.
  • Page 11: Assembly

    For devices with adjustable feet, it is also important to ensure that they are set up vertically. The connection of all hydraulic lines from the Spirotech device to the system must be as de-energised as possible. The nozzle loads introduced into the device through connected piping must not impair the device in any operating phase.

  • Page 29: External Setpoint

    7. EXTERNAL SETPOINT With devices from the TopControl series, it is possible to specify an external setpoint for the upper working pressure using an analogue signal (4-20 mA) and a bus module. This is required, for example, if the working pressure has to change depending on the operation of the overall system (e.g.
  • Page 30 Example: An upper working pressure of 7.0 bar is to be set on a ETCM-S1-8.4 control unit. The control technology must therefore send a signal with 6.8 mA. Regardless of the size of the sent setpoint signal, the upper working pressure for this type can never be set lower than w1.0 bar and higher than 8.4 bar (characteristic curve In addition, the upper working pressure can be limited by the settings "Min.

    7.2. Working pressure specification (0-40 bar) via bus module: The specified value of the external setpoint can cover a pressure range of 0-40 bar. Depending on the device type, however, the usable upper working pressure is always limited. To limit this range even further, the values "Minimum upper working pressure (bus module)"...
  • Page 32: Commissioning

    8.1. Putting the device into operation NOTE Commissioning of the device by the Spirotech factory customer service or an authorised partner, including training of the operating personnel of the system, is mandatory! Proceed as follows when commissioning the topcontrol modular: NOTE Steps 1-3 represent work to be carried out on site in preparation for commissioning.
  • Page 33 Step 5: Open the fresh water supply to the ETCM-_1 on the (EMCF) backfeed module and set the pressure reducer to 1.5 bar - max. 2.0 bar. Loosen the fixing screw (1) and set the pressure reducer to 1.5 bar - max. 2.0 bar. Then tighten the screw again to fix the setting of the pressure reducer.
  • Page 34 When venting and with the bypass barrier (3) closed, the system pressure in the device must reach the pressure value corresponding to "Hmax" of the pump. • Finally, end manual operation ("Set all manual operations to Auto") and close the bypass barrier (3) completely. Step 8: Device setup of the multicontrol electronics (touchscreen operating unit) Note! Settings in the device setup allow the touchscreen operating unit to be customised to the components in the device and its range of functions.
  • Page 35 NOTE Once the working pressure has been set, always check whether the Topcontrol is working according to the set pressure values. Step 10: If an EMCF backfeed module is installed, the operating mode of the backfeed module must be selected. This depends on various factors, such as the size of the system, the age of the system, any known leaks, etc.
  • Page 36 Step 13: The device is now ready for operation. The shut-off valves in the pipes from/to the system must be secured against unintentional closing (e.g. remove handles...) Further settings (e.g. MWE softening, operating modes, etc.) must be made in the "Settings" menu (see operating instructions for the touch control unit).
