Mounting and connecting the
equipment
Preparing installation
Take the equipment out of the transport
packaging.
Check the equipment for transport damage.
Contact the manufacturer if you detect any kind
of shipping damage.
When supplied by the factory, the connections may
be sealed off with sealing plugs.
Remove sealing plugs before mounting the
equipment.
Keep the sealing plugs and the packing for
further use.
DANGER
Personnel working on pipes are exposed to
safety risks and may suffer severe injuries,
poisoning or even loss of life.
Make sure that no hot or hazardous
fluid is in the equipment or the pipes.
Make sure that the pipes upstream
and downstream of the equipment are
depressurised.
Make sure that the installation is
switched off and protected against
unauthorised or unintended activation.
Make sure that the equipment and the
pipes have cooled down to room
temperatures.
Wear protective clothing that is
suitable for the fluid and, if necessary,
wear protective gear.
For more information on suitable protective clothing
and safety gear refer to the safety data sheet of the
fluid in question.
Drain pipes until they are empty.
Make sure that all pipelines upstream and
downstream of the equipment are
depressurised.
Switch the installation off and protect it against
unauthorised or unintended re-activation.
Malfunctions may occur if the equipment is
used with different types of condensate:
The following condensates in particular
cause problems:
very oily condensates
condensates that resinify or become
gummy
condensates that recrystallize
condensates that contain solid matter.
In these cases check the equipment at
regular intervals for contamination and, if
necessary, remove dirt deposits.
To reduce contamination we recommend
installing a sedimentation vessel or a dirt
pocket arrangement upstream of the
equipment.
Orientation of the equipment
The different equipment versions allow you to adjust
the flow direction of the equipment to the flow
pattern of your installation. The following positions
of installation are possible:
with horizontal connections "hl" and "hr" for
installation in horizontal pipes
with vertical connections "v" for installation in
vertical pipework with downward flow
Attention!
Malfunctions may occur if the control unit
is installed incorrectly.
When installing the equipment make
sure that the name plate points
upwards and the float arm is free to
move up and down.
Make sure that the flow arrow on the
equipment body matches the direction
of flow in the pipe.
