SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General

1. Prior to installation or any treatment given to the filter, read carefully the installation and operation instructions.
2. While maintaining the filter all standard safety instructions should be observed to avoid danger to the workers, the public, or to property in the vicinity.
3. Please note, that the filters enter into a flushing mode automatically, without prior warning.
4. No changes or modifications to the equipment are permitted without a written notification given by the manufacturer or by its representative, on the manufacturer’s behalf.

Installation

1. Install the filter according to the installation instructions detailed in this manual.
2. Make sure to leave enough clearance to enable easy access for future treatments and safe maintenance operations.
3. Electric wiring should be performed by an authorized electrician only; using standardized and approved components.
4. Install the main power disconnect cut-off switch close to the control panel.
5. If the control panel is installed in a location where there is no eye contact with the filter, a power disconnect cut-off switch should be installed near each filter unit.
6. Install the filter to avoid water splashing directly on the electrical components or on the control panel.
7. Additional safety devices should be installed on hot water applications to avoid skin burn danger.

Operation, Control and Maintenance

1. Disconnect the filter from the power supply before maintenance or treatment.
2. Loosening or unscrewing bolts should be done only after the pressure in the filter had been released.
3. Avoid splashing and water leaking to minimize slipping, electrocution or damage to the equipment caused by moisture.
4. Always open and close valves slowly and gradually.
5. Remove grease and fat material residues to avoid slipping.
6. After treatment has been completed, re-assemble the protection covers of the drive mechanism.
7. Manual cleaning of filter elements using high water pressure or steam should be performed by the cleaning system instructions and without endangering the operator or his vicinity.
8. Manual cleaning of filter elements using acid or other chemical agents should be performed by the relevant material safety instructions and without endangering the operator or his vicinity.

Use of Lifting Equipment

1. While using lifting equipment, make sure that the filter or the lifted part is chained securely and safely.
2. Do not leave lifted equipment hanging if not necessary. Avoid working below lifted equipment.
3. Wear a safety helmet while using lifting equipment.

DESCRIPTION OF FILTER OPERATION

• The “TAF” is a sophisticated yet easy-to-operate automatic electric filter, with a self-cleaning mechanism driven by an electric motor.
• The filter is designed to work with various types of screens in filtration degrees from 500 to 10 micron.

Filtering process
The water enters through the inlet pipe into the screen area and flows through the screen from the inside out. The “filtration cake” accumulates on the screen surface and causes head loss to develop.

Self-cleaning process

• The TAF will start the self-cleaning process either when the pressure differential across the screen reaches a pre-set value or after a predetermined lapse of time.
• The fine screen filter element is cleaned by the suction scanner whose nozzles spiral across the inner surface of the screen. The filtration cake is “vacuumed” from the screen and expelled out the exhaust valve.
• The scanner’s spiral motion is achieved by a drive unit that rotates a bi-directional continuous worm shaft.
• The exhaust valve is activated for the duration of the cleaning cycle by a 3-way solenoid. Filtered water continues to flow downstream during the flush cycle, which takes approximately 16 seconds

INSTALLATION

Design recommendations

1. The filter requires 5.7m3/h (25USgpm) for flushing, in addition to the working flow rate at a minimum pressure of 1.5 bar (22 psi).
   If the system cannot provide the flushing flow in addition to the working flow, at the minimum required pressure, a hydraulic valve should be installed downstream of the filter. This valve will be closed during the flushing process to ensure sufficient cleaning.

2. Do not allow water to flow in the opposite direction. In case there is a chance of back flow a non-return check valve should be installed downstream of the filter.

Installation instructions

1. Install a manual valve upstream of the filter to enable convenient maintenance.
2. The diameter of the inlet pipe must not be smaller than that of the filter inlet.
3. Install the filter in a way that enables a convenient approach and enough space to dismantle the filter for maintenance purposes.
4. It is recommended to install the filter horizontally, especially if the water contains sand.
5. Ensure the direction of flow is according to the arrows marked on the filter housing.
6. The exhaust valve can be facing downwards or sideways. Connect a minimum of 1.5″ (40 mm) pipe to the exhaust valve using a detachable connector or a flexible pipe. The exhaust pipe should be designed so that it creates minimal resistance to the flow of
7. 7m3/h (25USgpm).
8. If the system is designed to operate with a working pressure higher than 6 bar (85 psi), it is recommended that a manual valve be installed on the exhaust pipe, to enable regulation of the flushing flow rate.

START-UP AND FIRST OPERATION

1. Set the controller to 16 seconds flushing time and 2-4 hour intervals.

2. Operate a “dry” flushing cycle. Verify proper operation of the controller, the motor and the solenoid valve.

3. Open the inlet valve to the filter, while the outlet valve remains closed or with an open by-pass valve (This will keep the flow in the filter at a minimum), and operate a flushing cycle by pressing the push-button on the controller panel.

4. Make sure the exhaust valve opens and all stages of the flushing cycle are carried out. Attend to leakage, if any.
   If necessary, change the time setting to ensure complete up and down motion of the suction scanner.

5. Gradually open the outlet valve and/or close the bypass valve. Operate the filter at the designed hydraulic conditions.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Depressurize the filter before maintenance (Close inlet and then outlet valves).

Checking the filter

1. Unscrew the filter cover.
2. Extract the screen and clean if necessary. Cleaning is performed by hosing the screen from outside-in, and/or with a nylon brush.
3. Check the Screen O-ring and apply grease, if necessary.
4. Replace the screen.
5. Return the cover and twist to tighten it.

Checking the PD switch connectors
Check the L-Connectors to the PD Switch to make sure that there are no obstructions.

Winterization
Filter operations should be suspended in climates where the filter is exposed to freezing temperatures.

1. Check that the outlet valve is closed and perform two manual rinses.
2. Close the inlet valve to the filter and release the pressure.
3. Remove all drain lines from the valves, drain, and reconnect.
