Performing maintenance
The standard MRF is equipped without differential pressure display features.
We have several clogging indicators with optical or electrical signal transmitters in our
accessories list.
The clogging indicator displays how high the differential pressure over the filter element
is.
If the clogging indicator is red, the differential pressure is too high, indicating that the
filter element is used up and must be changed. The color green indicates that the the
differential pressure over the filter element is > 2 bar and filtration will take place.
