2. Check MV1.
3. Check V1.
Too low back pressure. Increase the back pressure with regulating valve RV4.
The correct back pressure is normally about 1.5 bar
(150 kPa).
Bowl opened accidentally during operation. Check the opening water valve (MV15) for leakage.
See “Separator Manual”.
N.B. In purifier mode when the control unit receives a low flow signal the oil feed is recirculated and water is
fed into the bowl to keep the water seal intact. The alarm diode only lit. Oil is again fed to the separator.
If the signal persists or repeats within the same separation sequence, the alarm function is activated.
