8. Commissioning
8.1.
Before commissioning
›
Be sure to read and understand the operating manual before putting the device into operation.
›
The information for intended use, the operating conditions and the technical specifications must be adhered to.
›
The unit must be positioned so that there is no danger of tipping and vibrations are largely intercepted.
›
Cables and hoses must be outside of the movement range of the operating personnel (tripping hazard).
›
If no hydraulic oil is sucked in during commissioning, switch off the unit, open the cover at the filter housing and fill in
approx. 0.3 l hydraulic oil.
›
The oil to be filtered must be compatible with the previously filtered hydraulic oil. If this is not the case, the filter unit must be
cleaned and the filter element is to be replaced (see filter element change).
›
When using the hoses during unmanned operation, ensure that they might not fall out of the container.
›
The suction and discharge pipe must be immersed far enough below the liquid level, so that oil is sucked in.
›
The hydraulic fluid must be free of water (no oil turbidity).
›
Measurement results are falsified by free water in the oil.
›
Properly close the cover of the filter housing.
›
Manually turn the cover until it stops; a gap between cover and housing may remain visible (see Figure 3).

8.2
After switching on
›
With 3-phase AC motors check after connecting if the direction of rotation matches with the direction arrow on the motor.
If not, have it changed by an electrician.
›
Check the filter unit for leaks.
›
Check that the device is properly vented. To do so, open the hexagon socket screw on the cover slightly until oil emerges.
Then close the hexagon socket screw.
Air bubbles in the oil falsify the measuring result.
8.3
In case of power failure
In order to prevent unintentional starting of the unit, always switch off and unplug the unit.
