Assembly/commissioning
The AQiX water dosing system is set to the unit of “litres” exworks.
The instrument 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 pressurised.
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 instrument.
- Press the “START/PAUSE” (12) button to switch on the instrument.
- Set the display to “0” with the “0.00 – Man.” (10) button.
- Keep holding the “START/PAUSE” (12) button until the water flows out without any interruption.
Start dosing:
Press the “START/PAUSE” (12) button to start the metering.
You can interrupt the metering process. Press the “START/PAUSE” button to do
this. Pressing the button again starts the metering process where it was
interrupted.
Storing a metering quantity
Frequently used metering quantities can be saved by pressing the “M1” / “M2”
(8+9) buttons. Set the desired quantity value with the “+” and “-” button.
Then hold “M1” / “M2” for 2 seconds until the value in the display flashes.
Press “M1” / “M2” to call up the stored value. It will appear in the display.
Manual metering:
Press the “Man/0.00” button (10). Then press “START/ PAUSE” (12). The water
will run for as long as you hold down the button. The dispensed quantity of
water is shown in the display.
Converting the unit of measure:
The water dosing system can be used with three different units of measure:
Litres, quarts and US gallons.
To switch between them, hold the “Man/0.00” button for 5 seconds until 0
appears in the display. Set the desired number for the respective unit of
measure using “+” and “-”. Confirm each digit with the “START/PAUSE” button.
Finally press Play twice. The instrument switches off and changes the mode.
Value 100 = litres | 200 = quarts | 300 = gallons
You can hold the instrument in your hand for metering or hang it on the mixing
bucket or on the mixing bucket of a mixer.
The instrument is hung between the water outlet (7) and the retaining bracket
(6)

Care and maintenance
Clean equipment:| Keep the instrument clean and remove any dirt immediately.
Clean the instrument with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning detergent (soap).
Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents.
---|---
Changing the batteries:| To change the batteries, open the battery compartment
(3) cover using a screwdriver. Remove the old batteries.
Insert the new batteries (AA) in the battery compartment according to the
labelling. Remove the rubber seal from the cover and clean it. Do not damage
the seal. We recommend lubricating the seal with silicone grease.
Reinsert the rubber seal into the groove of the cover, ensuring the seal fits
exactly.
Before screwing the cover back on, make sure that the rubber seal is not
crushed. You can tell that a seal is not properly seated as the gap in the
cover is not parallel.
Place the cover so that it is level and screw it back into place with the 3
screws.
If the seals are not inserted correctly, this may impair the leak-tightness of
the instrument. Do not reuse damaged seals.
Replacing the hose connection:| Loosen by turning counter-clockwise
Place the new hose coupling with seal on the thread and tighten in the
clockwise direction.
Cleaning the screen:| There is a particulate screen in the water supply (5)
that holds back larger particles in the supply water. It is recommended to
clean the screen from time to time.
Unscrew the hose connection as described above.
Use pliers to grab the screen at the protruding screen clip and pull it out.
Clean the screen under flowing water and re-insert it.
Screw the hose connection back on.
Back-flushing:| There is also a screen before the water outlet (7). If the
amount of water decreases significantly, this needs to be cleaned.
The hose must be connected to the water outlet only for this reason and this
reason only. At the same time, the second screen at the water supply (5) must
be removed (see above). Then flush the instrument backwards to remove the
deposits.
Then disconnect the hose and re-insert the screen at the water supply.
