Power supply:
The connection must be made to 230V 50
Hz. The nominal current host is max. 8A.
We recommend using a residual current cir-
cuit breaker.
Water supply:
The water connection is made at the 1/2”
Nozzle which is located at the front right. In
order to fix the hose take off the side door.
Please use a fabric reinforced hose and se-
cure it with a hose clamp.
The COMPACTA is equipped with a solen-
oid valve to prevent overflow in the inactive
state. The valve opens only when the COM-
PACTA is turned on. You can connect the
power supply for the solenoid valve on the
switch output at the
water treatment plant
IONEX A or B. Then
the water supply is
interrupted when the
water level in the
IONEX is too high.
The box to connect
the cable is located
behind the front right
side door of the
COMPACTA (see picture).
Drain:
The tanks are drained without pressure
through a 25 mm port (1”), which is located
below the rinsing zones.Observe the regulat-
ory requirements when discharging the drain
water.
Test:
To ensure that the facility was not damaged
in transit, we recommend that you run them
first with water.
Please proceed as follows:
1. Fill each treatment tanks with 10 liters of
water, but the galvanic tank with 30 liters of
water.
2. Turn on the system with the main switch.
3. Check now the heating of all tanks by us-
ing the corresponding function switch. The
green lights indicate the heating process.
Upon reaching the desired temperature, the
light goes off.
Set the temperature of the tanks at the ther-
mostats as follows:
Bath 1 Cleaner / Conditioner 65 ° C
Bad 4 Salt Remove 45 ° C
The remaining tanks operate at room tem-
perature.
4. Let the the machine now run for 2-3
hours with heating switched on and then turn
it off at the main switch.
The next day, check the tanks for possible
leaks. If everything is okay, you can drain
the water now through the respective drain
cocks. Please remove residual water inside
the containers with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Do not forget to close the drain valves again
Operation
Important Information
We count the tanks from left to right starting
with 1st Bath. The fifth tank of the plant
serves as a reserve tank. It has no heating,
but can be used e.g. for the chemical tin-
ning. Wait before using your equipment
please, until all the tanks are heated to
proper temperature. Before removing or in-
serting a board, always turn off the bath
movement. When rinsing, it is important that
all parts of the PCB holder which came into
contact with chemicals, are cleaned thor-
oughly, so that no chemicals pollute the next
bath.
We generally recommend to mix chemicals
outside of machine.
Close the cover of the tanks directly after
each use.
After each emptying of the bath, please
make sure that the drain cocks are closed
again.
If the fill level at the activator (= Catalyst)
lowers , fill it up with ready-made solution. All
other baths are filled with distilled water.
