Assembly/commissioning

The AQiX water dosing system is set to the unit of “litres” ex works.
The device is delivered with a standard ½” hose connection. This can be unscrewed and replaced with a different tap connection, such as with a bayonet coupling. Standard hose couplings with 1/2″ or 3/4″ hose connection can be used as a quick-release or bayonet coupling.

Connect the water hose to the meter. The water hose may not be pressurized. Only connect the hose to the hose coupling. No hose may be connected to the water outlet (7).

IMPORTANT: venting
After every connection made to the water hose, first, make sure that the air can escape from the device.

Press the “START/PAUSE” (12) button to switch on the device.
Set the display to “O” with the “0.00 – Man.” (10) button.
Keep holding the “START/PAUSE” (12) button until the water flows out without any interruption.
