11 Carrying out maintenance work
The OTT CBS bubble sensor itself is maintenance free. We recommend that the
measuring tube and bubble chamber are checked at regular intervals as des-
cribed below and cleaned as required:
11.1 Activating purge function
Activate the purge function of the OTT CBS quarterly by pressing the membrane
button
Pump (see also Fig. 14) and checking whether air bubbles rise out of the
bubble chamber. If not, check whether the bubble chamber is blocked, and/or
whether the measuring tube is leaking or blocked.
11.2 Cleaning bubble chamber
Check the bubble chamber quarterly for sand buildup and weed infiltration. For
light sand buildup, clean the bubble chamber using the purge function, and for
heavier buildup or weed infiltration clean the bubble chamber carefully manually
(do not change the position of the bubble chamber).
11.3 Testing the measuring tube
After 15 years' operation, test the measuring tube for tightness/pressure resis-
tance roughly every 2 years.
Never open the housing of the OTT CBS! There are no adjustment or control
elements inside the housing!
