Operating manual for LD6000 PTS
4.2 Disinfection – disinfection instructions
m
Before using the LD6000 PTS, all parts coming
into direct contact with the drinking water must
be disinfected. Proceed according to the following
instructions.
m
Always wear suitable protective gloves (supplied
in the accessory case) when filling the storage
container or refilling the spray flask.
The disinfectant is a neutral, liquid cleaning agent based
on especially stabilized 3% hydrogen peroxide . It is used
for environmentally friendly cleaning and sterilization and
approved for use in drinking water systems .
m
No general HAZMAT regulations apply. However,
the usual precautions are to be taken when
handling chemicals.
1 . First spray a generous amount of disinfectant on
the sensor head of the LD6000 PTS and let it sit for
approx . 5 minutes .
2 . Fill the storage container to approx . ¼ with disinfectant .
3 . When measuring, the storage container is to be
positioned vertically at the top to enable a continued
flow of the disinfectant .
When inserting the fibre optic cable into the pipeline, it is
continuously pulled through the disinfectant solution . No
specific application time is required during insertion . The
agent is pH neutral and after use can be fed into the waste
water system without prior neutralization .
4.3 Connection of the LD6000 PTS cable passage
The cable passage is connected for a smooth insertion
of the flexible sensor head in the drinking water line . The
passage comes with a GEKA coupling approved for use in
drinking water systems . Prior to installation the water line
must be shut off!
Close the shut-off valve and then prepare the end of the
pipe section to be examined with a supplied GEKA coupling .
Always connect preferably straight pieces or branches of no
more than 45° to avoid the sensitive sensor head getting
caught during insertion .
If the distance between the attached GEKA coupling at the
pipeline and the next shut-off valve is too small, you should
use a hose adapter (supplied in the accessory case) to
connect the cable passage .
The GEKA coupling is now connected to the pressure-
resistant cable passage of the LD600 PTS .
Make sure that the storage container with the disinfectant
(see disinfection instructions 4 .2) is positioned vertically at
the top .
