17. Maintenance
17.1 CU 361
The CU 361 is maintenance-free. It must be kept clean and dry.
Protect it from direct sunlight. The temperature of the CU 361
must not exceed the limits of ambient temperature.
See section
17.2 Regular inspections
The RCME system should be inspected at regular intervals.
This must be carried out when the system has been shut down.
Check the following:
•
Check that there are no leaks on the internal pipework, the
pump and the buffer tank.
•
Check the precharge pressure of the pressure vessel and
adjust, if necessary. See section
.
•
Check that the booster pump operates quietly and smoothly
without vibration or excessive noise.
Should any faults be found, see section
After inspection ensure that the isolating valves are fully open,
and that the power supply to the RCME system is switched on
again.
17.3 Integrated pressure vessel
Check and adjust the precharge pressure of the vessel before the
booster pump is filled with water. If the system has already been
filled and the pump has been running, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the power supply to the RCME system.
2. Release the water pressure by opening a tap in the discharge
pipe of the system. Leave the tap open while checking and
adjusting the precharge pressure.
3. The precharge pressure can now be checked using a car tyre
pressure gauge. The air valve is located in the top right-hand
corner of the pump mounting plate.
For small pressure adjustments a foot pump can be used. If
large amounts of gas are required, use dry nitrogen to prevent
corrosion within the vessel.
Setting example:
If the discharge pressure has been set to 4.5 bar, the
precharge pressure must be 4.5 x 0.7 = 3.15 bar.
18. Taking the RCME system out of operation
Take the RCME system out of operation by switching the main
switch off.

20. Electrical data
20.1 Supply voltage
3 x 400 VAC - 10 %/+ 10 %, 50 Hz, PE.
Warning
Before starting any work on pumps, terminal
boxes or control cabinet, the power supply must
have been switched off for at least five minutes,
and it must be ensured ensure that it cannot be
accidentally switched on.
Note
Set the precharge pressure of the vessel to 70 %
of the setpoint selected on the booster pump
control panel (booster pump discharge
pressure).
Measure the precharge pressure while the
system is pressureless.
If the precharge pressure is not set correctly, this
may result in incorrect operation of the RCME
unit.
Warning
The conductors to the main switch are still live.
Lock the main switch to ensure that the power
supply cannot be accidentally switched on.
