Mycare MP 50
Intended use
2.1
Water pressure
The water pressure has to be between
103 kPa (15 psi) and 345 kPa (50 psi).
The water pressure must not fall below
103 kPa (15 psi) as otherwise the operation
can be impaired!
Failure to carry out regular maintenance
may result in a decrease in water pressure
and impair the filter function.
ATTENTION
(see chapter “Safety indications and
dangers due to non-compliance”)
At a
water pressure higher than 414 kPa
(60 psi), a pressure reducer must be fitted
upstream
the Mycare water filter (see
fig. 2).
In most modern installations, despite normal
system pressure conditions, peak pressures
of up to over 3000 kPa (435 psi) frequently
occur.
This will lead to damages!
The optimum static and operating pressure
range for the Mycare water filter is
between 103 kPa (15 psi) to 345 kPa
(50 psi). Under these pressure ranges the
Mycare MP 50 water filter works most
effectively.
2.2
Information on hazard risks
2.2.1 Electrical equipment /
installations
Electrical devices / equipment that are not
splash-water proof and are situated in the
direct vicinity of the Mycare water filter
may be damaged by water escaping from
the Mycare water filter, caused as a
result of the device being operated impro-
perly. In addition, short circuits may occur if
such electrical devices / equipment are / is
connected to the electrical power supply.
This may result in the risk of danger of elec-
tric shock to persons.
Therefore all the electrical devices / equip-
ment situated in the direct vicinity should be
splash-water proof, respectively comply with
the statutory requirements for wet areas
(NEMA type 12 / IP44).
