
Use only appropriate standard tools and equipment operated by qualified operators when installing, operating and
maintaining the filter.

When installation is required in hazardous environment sites, underground or high above ground, make sure that
the site design and the auxiliary equipment are appropriate and that installation procedures are carried out in
accordance with the relevant standards and regulations.

Ensure walking areas about the installation are slip free when wet.
Shipment and transporting

Shipping and transporting the filter must be done in a safe and stable manner and in accordance with the relevant
standards and regulations.

For shipping, lifting and positioning the filter, use only approved lifting equipment and authorized employees and
contractors.
Electricity

Electric wiring should be performed by an authorized electrician only, using standardized and approved components.

Install a lockable main power cut-off switch close to the control panel.

If due to site constraints, the control panel is installed without a clear line-of sight of the filter, an additional lockable
power disconnect cut-off switch should be installed near each filter unit.

Installation of the filter should be performed so as to avoid direct water splashing on the electrical components or
on the control panel.
Pneumatics

Install a lockable main cut-off switch, featured with a pressure release mechanism, on the compressed air supply
line close to the control panel.

If the control panel is installed far away and there is no eye contact with the filter, a lockable compressed air cut-off
switch, featured with a pressure release mechanism, should be installed near each filter unit.

The user should make sure that the compressed air supplied to the filter never exceeds the maximum designated
pressure for this filter. An air-pressure reduction valve should be installed on the compressed air supply line
upstream of the filter’s pneumatic inlet port.
Hydraulics

Extra safety devices should be installed on hot water applications to avoid skin burn danger.

The user should install a manual Water Cut-off Valve next to the filter’s inlet port.

In cases where the downstream piping network downstream of the filter is pressurized an additional manual Water
Cut-off Valve should be installed next to the filter outlet port.

The user should make sure that the system includes a Pressure Release / Drainage Valve to enable release of
residual pressure prior to any maintenance procedure performed on the filter.

The user should make sure that the filter is never exposed to water pressure exceeding the maximum designated
pressure for this filter, if needed a Pressure Reduction Valve should be installed upstream of the filter’s water inlet
port.

Please note that the maximum working pressure indicated at the filter’s specifications table includes the pressure
caused by fluid hammer and pressure surge effects.
