FAM Set-up and Connection
Setting up the FAM
The following points are to be observed when setting up the FAM:
Place the unit on a horizontal and level surface.
Special mounting is not required.
The locking brakes on the wheels must be locked to avoid unintended
movement of the unit (only on the mobile version).
Position the FAM in the immediate vicinity of the tank to be cleaned. Observe
the maximum permitted suction pressure. See page 32.
Observe the ambient temperature on the type label of the FAM.
Sufficient room to operate and maintain the unit must be left around the main
switch.
An area of at least 0.8 m must be kept free for maintenance purposes on both
the left hand and right hand sides of the FAM.
Take care to ensure free access to the control panel and that the control cabinet
can be opened completely.
Notes on Piping / Hosing
NOTICE
Non-permitted pressure at the inlet IN / outlet OUT
Failure malfunction
►
Determine the pressure to be anticipated at the inlet / outlet with the
prescribed values.
Note that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping, must be at least as large
as the cross-section of the inlet/outlet port sizes.
In order to keep the pressure loss as low as possible, use as few threaded
connections as possible.
The pressure at the inlet/outlet depends on the height differential between the FAM
fluid surface in the tank port (aspiration height
P
(height)
) and the line losses
(
P
(line)
).
If the FAM is above the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar -
P
(height)
-
P
(line)
If the FAM is below the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar +
P
(height)
-
P
(line)
