2.1.2 Precautionary labels
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or damage to
the instrument could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is
referenced in the manual with a precautionary statement.
This is the safety alert symbol. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid potential injury. If on
the instrument, refer to the instruction manual for operation or safety information.
This symbol indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or electrocution exists.
Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European domestic or public disposal
systems after 12 August 2005. In conformity with European local and national regulations (EU Directive
2002/96/EC), European electrical equipment users must now return old or end-of life equipment to the
manufacturer for disposal at no charge to the user..

General information
2.2 Applications
The FILTRAX sampling system is a device for the filtration and pumping of waste
water samples from the activated sludge tank or final clarification tank for
supplying process instruments with samples free of solids.
Any use other than use in accordance with requirements defined in the user manual
leads to the loss of the warranty claims and can lead to personal injury and property
damage, for which the manufacturer assumes no liability.
2.3 Functional description
The FILTRAX sampling and sample conditioning system comprises two
components: a control unit and module carrier.
The module carrier (1) is immersed at the place the samples are to be taken using
a special tank edge fastening. Inside the module carrier there are two filter
modules (2); a filter membrane (3) is stretched over both sides of each of the
modules. The waste water sample is fed to a special duct system (4) via this
membrane.
NOTICE
Two tube metering pumps inside the control unit draw the sample alternately from
the two filter modules using a common 5 m long heated suction tube to the control
unit that is installed in close proximity to the sampling point. From there the
sample is pumped 2 m, 10 m, 20 m or 30 m, depending on the sample tube
connected, to the process instruments.
A venting device (5) underneath the filter modules largely prevents the adhesion
of solids to the filter membranes and significantly reduces the maintenance effort.
Two signal lamps (green and red) provide continuous visual indication of normal
operation, warnings and faults - this information is also provided electrically by two
floating relay contacts.

2.5.4 Filter modules
The two filter modules should only be installed during commissioning. Once
moistened, the filter membranes must not be allowed to dry out again and are
sealed in a plastic bag for protection.
NOTICE
The surface of the membrane is very delicate!

Section 3 Installation
Only qualified experts should conduct the tasks described in this section.
Select an appropriate installation location for the instrument.
Plan out the mechanical mount before positioning poles or drilling holes. Make sure the
mount has a sufficient bearing capacity. The dowels must be selected and authorized
according to the condition of the wall.
The manufacturer shall accept no liability if the instrument is installed incorrectly.
Plan how to lay cables and tubes and their path in advance. Lay the tubes, data cables
and power cables without any bends and so they do not pose a tripping risk.
Do not connect the electrical supply to the mains until the instrument is completely wired
and protected against short circuits.
Sufficiently protect the electrical power supply against short circuits.
For the external power supply, always connect a residual-current circuit breaker (trip
current max.: 30 mA) between the mains and the system.
If the instrument is to be installed outdoors, connect a surge arrester between the mains
and the system.
Products intended by the manufacturer for outdoor use offer a higher level of protection
against the penetration of liquids and dust. If these products are connected to a mains
outlet with a cable and plug rather than a permanently connected cable, the plug and
outlet are much more susceptible to liquid and dust penetration. The operator must
sufficiently protect the plug and outlet against liquid and dust penetration in accordance
with local safety regulations. If the instrument is to be used outdoors, it must be
connected to a suitable outlet with a protection type of at least IP44 (splash protection).

DANGER
WARNING
Electrical dangers and fire hazard. Use only the supplied power cable.
Only qualified experts may perform the tasks described in this section of the manual, in
compliance with all locally applicable safety regulations.
NOTICE
Protect the device against extreme temperatures from heaters, direct sunlight and other
heat sources.
CAUTION
Note the weight (control unit approx. 22 kg, module carrier with 5 m suction tube approx.
9 kg) of the instrument. Do not try to carry the instrument without help. Use only suitable
lifting devices for the transport.

Lay the tubes, data cables and power cables without any bends and so they do not pose
a tripping risk.
For information on installation with optional accessories, refer to the relevant installation
instructions.
The filter module should only be unpacked directly before commissioning and quickly
attached to the module carrier.
The filter membranes are shrink-wrapped in protective plastic; once they have been
moistened they must not be allowed to dry out.
