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 29.
•
Observe the ambient temperature on the type label of the FAM.
•
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.
•
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
Δ
P
(height)
) and the line losses
(
Δ
P
(line)
).
If the FAM is above the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar -

If the FAM is below the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
