8.4 Handling
It is advisable to move the strainer using mechanical devices (lift truck, crane, bridge crane, etc.) of adequate capacity.
For lifting it is advisable to use standard belts, positioned as indicated in the illustrations
aside, taking care to keep them always tensioned so that they do not slip and taking
care to keep the strainer parallel to the ground.
The device must be handled only if completely empty. The presence of liquids may
cause them to leak or alter the center of gravity during handling. These conditions can
also cause serious damage to property or persons.
The device has an indicative empty weight of 50 kg: handling must be carried out
according to safety regulations.
During the handling and temporary storage outside the wooden platform prepare all the
necessary precautions to prevent the device from falling or overturning.
8.5 Disposal of packaging
Follow the regulations in force for the disposal of the various components of the packaging.
9 Installation
When connecting water pipes, make sure that threaded connections are not overstressed mechanically. Over time this could result in breakage, with
water leaks causing damage and/or injury. Check the hydraulic seal of all connection fittings.
Water temperatures above 50°C can cause serious scalding. When installing, commissioning and servicing the device, take the
necessary precautions so that these temperatures will not be hazardous for people.
The device coupling with other system components must be made while taking the operational characteristics of both units into
consideration. An incorrect coupling could compromise the operation of the device and/or system.
The strainer must be installed in a closed and dry place, protected from atmospheric agents. It must be positioned in a stable manner. The floor must
be solid and well levelled. The installer must take care of the positioning of the strainer, maintaining adequate space around it to guarantee accessibility
to every point of the system.
During installation it is possible to adjust the height of the device from the ground, by appropriately
repositioning the fixing screws in the holes of the new desired height. This operation must be
carried out lifting the device with suitable lifting devices to guarantee the safety levels necessary
to prevent accidents and damage. Be careful to the correct fastening of the leg screws and
tighten the nuts with a torque of 25 Nm.
The device must be installed in a horizontal position, firmly fastened to the floor by means of
suitable fastening systems inserted in the holes (Ø 12 mm) set up at the base of the legs.
The dirt separator strainer can not be installed in prohibited areas according to the ATEX regulation (Directive 2014/34).
Comply with the law regulations regarding the relative evaluation.
Failure to comply with the installation and start-up conditions could also cause a high level of risk for the user.
CAUTION:
• avoid exposing the device and cables to direct sunlight or sources of heat.
• to minimize residual vibrations caused by the flow of water it is necessary to maintain flow values that are suitable for use and fixed
pipes without any discontinuity or obstacles within the flow.
• check that the fastening clips of the temperature and pressure sensors are correctly positioned. Do not remove them for any reason.
• do not open the drain valve manually.
• check that the insulation is well positioned and correctly closed.
• do not remove the sensor and sensor clips
• do not disassemble or loosen the nuts and seals during operation.
