Installation and maintenance
4.1
Safety instructions for installation
and mintenance tasks
DANGER!
Danger due to electric shock
The Flockmatic Vario is energised as soon as
voltage is applied on the mains input. Contact
with energised parts can result in electric shock.
Possible consequence: Serious or fatal
health impairment, damage to material
assets
Installation and maintenance tasks on the
device must always be executed in de-
energised status.
When performing tasks safeguard the
device from being switched on!
Only connect cables in de-energized status.
A safety device that is independent of the
pump should always be present .
The valid country-specific safety regulations
must be complied with.
Directly after completing the tasks, all safety
devices and protective devices must be
reattached, i.e. must be rendered functional.
Failure to comply with the safety instructions
can result in defects of the device and life-
threatening danger, with the consequence
of loss of warranty.
4.2
Mounting
Level, vertical surface.
The free area surrounding the device must be large enough
to ensure that trouble-free operation and maintenance are
possible. The cover must always be removable.
Pump housing vertical, hose connections downwards.
The display of the regulator should be approximately at eye
level.
Below the device, at least 20 cm of free space is required
for installation of the hoses.
There must be no parts that are sensitive to moisture below
the device.
A wet room earth contact electrical outlet with continuous
current at a maximum distance of 1.5 m.
All hoses and cables must be laid out in such a manner that
they are kink-free and free of abrasion.
No hose line should be longer than 5 m
The hoses must not be routed directly over heat-conducting
pipes or systems.
Direct sunlight, thermal radiation, the effects of frost and
moisture must be avoided.
Ensure adequate aeration.
Ensure that measures are in place in the event of a leak in
the pump or the dosing hoses (e.g. defined discharge,
collecting container).
The base plate can be used as a drilling template by
holding it at the intended location and marking the location
of the bores on the wall..
4.3
Electrical connection
The Flockmatic Vario has been designed and built in
accordance with the applicable guidelines. Prior to leaving the
plant the product was carefully tested and it left the plant in
faultless condition.
Safe operation is only possible if all instructions contained in
this manual and the generally applicable guidelines are
complied with.
The supply voltage for the device must not exceed 240 V/50
Hz. The permitted operating temperature is 5 to 45ºC, the
permitted humidity is 0-90%.
As is customary for all electrical connections, ensure that all
plug connections are protected against water.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ensure that the Flockmatic Vario is only
supplied with power when the circulation pump
is running!
4.4
Replacing the device fuse
If the device is subjected to an unusual operating state, this can
cause a fuse to trip; in this case the fuse must be replaced.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Always identify what caused the fuse to trip.
Always ensure that the cause is completely
eliminated before placing the Flockmatic Vario
is service again.
Replacing a fuse:
Disconnect the Flockmatic Vario from the power supply.
Remove the pressure and suction hose.
Take the cover off of the rotor.
Pull off the blue housing frame from the front.
Open the housing by unscrewing the 4 Phillips head
screws.
Pull off the upper part of the housing from the front.
Turn the cover of the black fuse holder a quarter turn to the
left and pull the fuse up and out.
Insert a new (1 A/250 V MT) fuse.
Assembly is executed in the reverse sequence.
