11 Conducing
maintenance
Conduct the suggested maintenance/servicing and inspection work every six months, or if an
error indication recommends it.
All operating media are to be protected/isolated in case the product is accidentally started up.
When performing any maintenance, servicing, inspection or repair work, disconnect the FCU
from the power supply and ensure that it cannot be switched back on inadvertently.
Always check the product to see that it functions properly when performing maintenance and
servicing work.
Check any screw fittings which have been removed to see that they have been properly
secured.
11.1 Cleaning
the
FCU
When cleaning the operating surface, we recommend rubbing it using a clean, wet cloth,
making sure that no residue is left.
11.2 Rinsing
the
FCU
Flush the FCU 1000 after each use or daily with appropriate mineral oil.
11.2.1 Performing a rinsing
The FCU 1000 should be flushed (cleaned) after each use.
Rinsing the FCU is especially critical when non-filtered oil or 50 W or heavier viscosity oil has
been sampled. Rinsing should also be performed when the operator observes any measured
values which appear abnormally high or low.
Always rinse the FCU after the last system cleanliness check of the day.
1. Fill a suitable clean container with 500 ml of filtered oil.
2.
Connect the return flow hose from the OUTLET and place it into a waste container /
canister for used fluids.
3.
Place the suction hose in the container with the filtered oil.
4. Now switch on the FCU.
5. Cleanliness values are displayed during the rinsing procedure. These values are not
correct, but should decrease during the rinsing procedure.
6. After the FCU has been completely flushed out, shut it off.
7.
Now the unit is ready for operation!
