Installation, Starting and Maintenance Filter Switching Symbol

Installation
Verify operating pressure on the nameplate is equal or greater than the maximum system pressure. Install the filter using
mounting device considering flow direction (direction arrows) and servicing height required for cleaning/replacing
filter elements.
Connection of Electrical Maintenance Indicator
See brochure 64.
Starting
Move switching lever to central position to fill both filter sides. Switch on system pump. De-aerate filter by opening
the vent valve, close when liquid emerges from valve. Move switching lever to filter in use. Switching lever must be
moved into final position.
Maintenance
The filter element is clogged and needs to be replaced or cleaned if the visual indicator ‘s red pin reaches its final
position and/or the electrical switch is activated.
Filter Element Service
Numbers of filters
Open valve in pressure equalisation value, move switching lever to opposite direction until final position on clean filter
side is reached. Close pressure equalisation value. Open vent valve and depressurise system in filter out of use. Close according to filter type
vent valve.
Unscrew filter head. Open drain plug and drain filter. Close drain plug. Remove filter element, turning slightly off from
its lower spigot in the filter housing.
Check filter housing inside and clean if necessary. Replace filter element H...-SL, P..., VS... and AS… . The filter element
with G...-media is cleanable. The efficiency of the cleaning process depends on the characteristics of contamination and
the final pressure drop prior to servicing / cleaning the element. If the differential pressure after the filter element’s
cleaning process exceeds more than 50% of the pre service value the G... filter element also needs to be replaced.
Replace filter element in filter housing. Check o-ring and replace in case of damage or wear. Install filter head by
turning clock-wise by hand. Don’t use any tools. Turn back 1/4 turn counter-clock-wise. De-aerate filter by opening the
vent valve, close when liquid emerges.
Warning
Assemble and disassemble filter only when system is switched off!
Vessel is under pressure!
Leave pressure equalisation valve closed while filter housing is out of service!
Do not operate switching device while filter housing is out of service!
Do not change maintenance indicator or pressure equalisation valve when filter is under pressure!

element from housing turning slightly off its locator in the filter
lower part.
Screw in plug (part 10).
Replace filter element H..-SL, P... and VS.... The filter element with G... media is
cleanable.
The efficiency of the cleaning process depends on the characteristics of conta-
mination and the final pressure drop prior to servicing / cleaning the ele-
ment. If the differential pressure after the filter element's cleaning process ex-
ceeds more than 50% of the pre service value the G... element also needs to
be replaced.
Lubricate filter element O-ring and install replaced or cleaned filter element
inside filter housing by putting it up to its locator and slightly turning .
Take care not to damage pleated filter element matrix during installation in
filter housing. Remove the filter element´s polyethelyne protection sleve when
operation temperature is above 60°C or synthetic oil is used.

 Installation, Starting and Maintenance
Installation
Verify operating pressure with name plate information.
Industrial Filters · Accumulators Mount the filter assembly using mounting holes on the filter housing (Part 1)
considering flow direction (direction arrows) and servicing height required for
cleaning/replacing elements.
Switch of system pump. Remove dust caps from filter inlet and outlet, fit filter into
the pipe avoding tension stress on existing pipework.
Connection of electrical maintenance indicator
Connect indicator using the three wired cable.
Please verify electrical ratings on the indicators (Part 9) name plate.
1. Closer 1 (black) + 3 (blue)
2. Opener 1 (black) + 2 (brown)
3. Changer 1 (black) + 2 (brown) + 3 (blue)
Starting
Switch on service pump.
Ventilate filter by opening the vent valve (Part 5), close when operating liquid
appears.
Maintenance
The filter element is clogged and must be changed or cleaned when at
operation temperature the red pointer on the maintenance indicator (Part 9)
is hard against the plastic cap and / or the switching process on the electri-
cal indicator is triggered.
Filter element service
Switch of system pump.
Open vent valve (part 5) and depressurize system.
Open plug (part 10) and drain contaminated oil from filter housing.
Unscrew filter upper part / filter cover (part 3) and remove filter
element from housing turning slightly off its locator in the filter
lower part.
Screw in plug (part 10).
Replace filter element H..-SL, P... and VS.... The filter element with G... media is
cleanable.
The efficiency of the cleaning process depends on the characteristics of conta-
mination and the final pressure drop prior to servicing / cleaning the ele-
ment. If the differential pressure after the filter element's cleaning process ex-
ceeds more than 50% of the pre service value the G... element also needs to
be replaced.
Lubricate filter element O-ring and install replaced or cleaned filter element
inside filter housing by putting it up to its locator and slightly turning .
Take care not to damage pleated filter element matrix during installation in
filter housing. Remove the filter element´s polyethelyne protection sleve when
operation temperature is above 60°C or synthetic oil is used.
Check O-ring (part 7) in filter housing , replace in case of damage or wear.
Screw on filter head without using a tool until the end of the thread. Turn it
back 1/4 thread turn.(40 FLE…). Assemble filter cover with hexagon screw
(100 FLE …).
Operate filter as describe above.
Filter element service when using coreless EPE ECOPore® filter elements. Re-
move EPE ECOPore® filter element by slightly turning from the supporting tu-
be . The supporting tube is re-usable and remains inside the filter housing.
Put on new EPE ECOPore® filter element over the supporting tube.
