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 in order to avoid danger
to the workers, the
public or to property in the vicinity. 3. Please note, the filters enter into
a flushing mode automatically, without prior warning. 4. No changes or
modification to the equipment are permitted without a written notification
given by the manufacturer or by its
representative, on the manufacturer behalf.
Installation
1. Install the filter according to the installation instructions detailed in
this manual. 2. Make sure to leave enough clearance so as 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 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 so as 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 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 so as 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 in order to avoid slipping. 6. After
treatment has been completed, re-assemble the protection covers of the drive
mechanism. 7. Manual cleaning of filter element using high water pressure or
steam, should be performed in accordance with the cleaning
system instructions and without endangering the operator or his vicinity. 8.
Manual cleaning of filter element using acid or other chemical agents, should
be performed in accordance with 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 in a safe manner. 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 inside out. The “filtration cake” is accumulated 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 which 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). In the event that
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 in order to ensure sufficient cleaning.
2. Do not allow water to flow in opposite direction. In case that 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 in order 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
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 5.7 m3/h (25USgpm). 7. If
the system is designed to operate with a working pressure higher than 6 bar
(85 psi), it is recommended that a manual valve will be installed on the
exhaust pipe, in order 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 by-
pass 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.
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.
Leaks
In case of a leak contact Amiad technical support
