Electricity
1.
Electric wiring should be performed by an authorized electrician only, using standardized and approved
components.
2.
Install a lockable main power cut-off switch close to the control panel.
3.
If due to site constraints, the control panel is installed without a clear line-of sight to the filter, an additional
lockable power disconnect cut-off switch should be installed near each filter unit.
4.
Installation of the filter should be performed to avoid direct water splashing on the electrical components or on
the control panel.
Pneumatics
1.
Install a lockable main cut-off switch, featured with a pressure release mechanism, on the compressed air supply
line close to the control panel.
2.
If the control panel is installed far away and there is no eye contact with the filter, a lockable compressed air cut-
off switch, featured with a pressure release mechanism, should be installed near each filter unit.
3.
The user should make sure that the compressed air supplied to the filter never exceeds the maximum designated
pressure for this filter.
4.
An air-pressure reduction valve should be installed on the compressed air supply line upstream of the filter’s
pneumatic inlet port.
Hydraulics
1.
Extra safety devices should be installed on hot water applications to avoid skin burn risk.
2.
The user should install a manual water cut-off valve next to the filter’s inlet port.
3.
In cases where the downstream piping network of the filter is pressurized, an additional manual water cut-off
valve should be installed next to the filter outlet port.
4.
The user should make sure that the system includes a pressure release or a drainage valve to enable release of
residual pressure prior to any maintenance procedure performed on the filter.
5.
The user should make sure that the filter is never exposed to water pressure that exceeds the maximum
designated pressure for this filter. If needed, a pressure reduction valve should be installed upstream of the
filter’s water inlet port.
6.
Please note that the maximum working pressure indicated at the filter’s specifications table includes the pressure
caused by fluid hammer and pressure surge effects.
Civil engineering
1.
Make sure that the filter installation is done by the manufacturer’s qualified technicians.
2.
Make sure that any civil engineering work at the installation site such as construction, lifting, welding, etc. is
done by qualified workers / technicians / contractors and in accordance with the relevant local standards.
3.
While using lifting equipment, make sure that the filter or the lifted part is chained securely and in
a safe manner.
4.
Do not leave lifted equipment if there is no necessity. Avoid working below lifted equipment.
5.
Wear a safety helmet while using lifting equipment.
6.
Make sure that the flooring is sloped for drainage, and to avoid accumulation of liquids.
