Commissioning of the Electro-Katadyn System EK-4 / EK-24 

11.1

 

Basic components: 

 

Control Cabinet 

 

Activator with electrode system 

 

Flow Switch 

The bypass piping (main pipe) is not part of the Katadyn scope of supply. The bypass (“part-stream”) 
principle is applied to keep the head loss low and is used in the case of larger flow volumes. The partial 
flow diverted through the Electro-Katadyn System receives silver ions in proportionately higher 
concentration. The silver dose needed is reached by subsequent mixing of the water in the common pipe 
downstream of the Electro-Katadyn. Based on empirical data the following values serve as a guide for 
expected flows through the EK: 

EK 4: 

0.5 m

EK 2-6/24:  2.0m

Short installing guide of the EK System 

 

Mount the Activator body to a suitable place 

 

Mount the Control Cabinet close to the activator body (activator cable length 1.2m) 

 

Connect the inlet piping to the inlet of the activator (G3/4” EK-4, G1” EK-X/24) 

 

Connect the outlet piping to the outlet piping of the activator (G3/4” EK-4, G1” EK-X/24) 

 

Connect the drain piping to the drain outlet of the activator (G3/4” EK-4, G1” EK-X/24) 

 

Wiring the Flow Switch, activator head, the Mains supply and all other optional instruments to the 
Control Cabinet (see connection drawings 17.5 Electrical connection / 17.6 Electrical connection 
Activator Anode/Cathode)

 

Remove screws from activator head. 

 

Remove activator head 

o

 

If silver anodes and cathodes are not installed, install them according chapter 

11.4 Mount 

the anodes to the activator

 

 

Check that sealing ring is properly placed on activator head 

 

Replace activator head on Activator body and screw in the screws (max 4Nm torque) 

 

Pressurize the whole system and check for leaks.
