FAM Set-up and Connection
Setting up the FAM
The following points are to be observed when setting up the FAM:
•
The unit has to be set up in a horizontal position on a level surface.
Special mounting is not required.
•
The immobilization brakes on the wheels must be locked to avoid unintended
movement of the unit.
•
Place the FAM near the tank to be cleaned (length of the hoses max. 5 m, height
difference max. 2 m).
•
The ambient temperature may not be below 10°C and may not exceed 40°C.
•
Access to the main switch has to be unimpeded at all times.
•
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.
Hydraulic Connection of the FAM
Connecting the suction port connection (IN)
Make the suction-side connection with a flexible hose that is resistant to negative
pressure or with pipelines. The nominal size of the connecting lines must be at least
as large as the cross-section of the unit in order to prevent excessively high pres-
sure loss.
Permissible suction pressure: -0.3 to 1 bar.
Connection to the tank must be done in a manner so that it is always below the oil
level.
NOTE
The medium may not be suctioned directly from the bottom of the tank.
The greatest amount of impurities in the fluid is to be found at the bottom of
the tank.
High levels of contamination in the fluid can cause damage to the FAM.
Connecting the return port connection (OUT)
The return-flow line or the return-flow hose must be installed below the level of the
oil in order to prevent air from entering the medium.
