4. –FMA-2000 FILTER DESCRIPTION

The filter consists of an external casing where there are three different chambers. There is a
coarse screen that is used as a prefilter in the first prefiltration chamber that coincides with the
water inlet.

1 – Inlet
2 – Outlet
3 – Strainer chamber
4 – Strainer cartridge
5 – Filtering cartridge
6 – Filtering chamber
7 – Flushing chamber
8 – Scanner
9 - Motor drive

The water goes from outside to inside the filter. Once, the water gets inside the filter, it goes into
the second chamber that is called “filtration chamber”. It is in this chamber where the filtering
element is: FILTRATION SCREEN.

In this case water runs from the filter interior into the exterior. The solids remain in suspension
(filth) held back in the filtering element, that is it, the screen. This chamber coincides with the
filtered influent water inlet to the correct application: drinking water, process water, refrigeration
water, etc.

The held back dust forms a layer on the screen, that diminishes its load. The filter backwashing
bases on a third chamber, the backwashing chamber whose output is connected to the drainage
valve that allows water evacuation when the backwashing process starts. The backwashing
chamber is separated from the filtering by a special sealing

To finish with, as a very important element of this technology is the SUCTION SCANNER. This
scanner is the same place as the filtering cartridge central shaft would be, and it is hydraulically
connected to the backwashing chamber. At the same time, and in the filtering chamber area
where it is, the SUCTION NOZZLES are displayed perpendicularly. The nylon brushes nearly
reach the screen. The situation of these nozzles in the suction scanner has been studied for
getting into contact with the screen internal surface, thanks to the spiral movement that the
electric engine provides to the scanner: when combining a longitudinal and rotation movement.

5. – FMA-2000 PERFORMANCE

 Water gets into the filter through the prefiltration chamber, where thick particles are

retained, as it was a strainer.

 Water gets into the filtering chamber, goes through from inside to outside the FILTERING

SCREEN, producing the SURFACE MECHANIC. High quality water is obtained
according to the filtration degree choosen for the filtratrion screen which can vary from 10
microns to 2000 microns.

 Dust remains on the thin screen interior what produces head loss between the filter inlet

and outlet gradually. Two analogic transducers will indicate the backwashing sequence
when the DP becomes 0.3 (3 m.c.a). There are other possibilities to make the filter
backwashing: Time backwashings, time and pressure combination, continuous
backwashing option.

 When the pressure switch indicates 0.3 bar, the drain valve receive the opening order,

then it generates a pressure difference between outside (atmospheric pressure) and the
inside of the filter (working pressure) that is why fast running water which is produced,
goes through the screen and then goes outside through the nozzles internal orifice.
Besides this, at this very moment the starting order is also sent to the engine.

 The result of these actions is: the suction effect of the nozzles on the screen dust and the

suction scanner spiral movement in the inside of the filter.

 During the backwashing process that lasts 25 seconds, water is still being filtered and

goes on flowing to the system or application. This fact whis is is due to the filters design
allows that the backwashing water consumption is MINIMUM and the working system is
CONTINUOUS

8. – INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 Take precautions to prevent the filter from striking, the equipment lifting by means of the

upper anchor points.

 Make sure that the installation point has the minimum operation pressure.

o The backwashing pipe has to be measured so that it gets a minimum flow head

loss of 25 m³/h.

o In installations with a working pressure superior to 6 bar, it is advisable to install

a ball valve in the backwashing pipe to adjust the backwashing flow.

NOTE

THE MINIMUM WORKING PRESSURE IS 2 BAR BETWEEN THE FILTER

OUTLET AND THE DRAIN VALVE.

IN CASE THE DRAIN IS RECONDUCTED, IT IS NECESSARY TO

INCREASE THE WORKING PRESSURE IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE

FOR THE HEAD LOSS THAT MAY APPEAR IN THE DRAIN PIPE

 Install the filter horizontally, check that there is enough room so that the filter can be

easily accessed in safe conditions for future treatments and for its maintenance. See se
section 6.

 Position the filter in the driving obeying the arrows indicating the water running direction.
 Inlet and outlet shut-off valves are recommended to be installed in order to insulate it. It is

recommended to install a by-pass in order to avoid power cuts during the maintenance.

 It is recommended to install an outlet backflow in order to avoid water hammer on the

filter.

 According to section 12.1 the electrical wiring can only be installed by a skilled

electrician.

 In the filter installation it has to be avoided that water splashes over the electrical

components or the control panel.

Installation, operation and maintenance manual - FMA 2000

Ref: 2000/CPF01/230/VH 19

9. – STARTING INSTRUCTIONS.

 Check previous section instructions.
 Check the hydraulic circuit (see section 15) that provides the backwashing valve with

water, making sure that:

o ¾” filter is clean.
o The ball valve is open.
o The 3 way valve value is in AUTO position.

o Start with the following shut-off valves configuration:
o Inlet valve: OPEN
o Outlet valve: CLOSE.
o By – pass (If it exists): CLOSE

 Switch on the filter, put the circuit breaker ON
 Make sure that the programmable relay is on the selected option RUN
 Manual backwash by pressing the limp button.
 The backwashing cycle evolution is detailed in section 12.2.
 Open outlet valve.

A drop in pressure and water flow increase is produced when the water mains is filled in.
That is why it is advisable to install an outlet pressure valve, making sure that the water
mains filling is controlled.

NOTE

IN CASE A SUPPORTING PRESSURE IS NOT INSTALLED, DURING THE
WATER MAINS FILLING, CLOSE THE OUTLET VALVE UNTIL GETTING 2

BAR IN THE CLEAN WATER PRESSURE GAUGE.

ONCE THE WATER MAINS IS PRESSURIZED, OPEN THE OUTLET

VALVE TO GET A CORRECT OPERATION.

 Make sure that water flow and pressure installation correspond with the maximum values

defined for this manual model. See section 6

 Check the equipment operation and the head loss when the starting up is finished.

13. – WARNINGS AND ALARMS

1. When the programmer makes the number of backwashings consecutively indicated in
parameter C2 (the setpoint is 20) there is no possibility to go on filtering, the safety
device that will stop the filter backwashing will activate.

The panel alarm light will turn on and the inscription ALARM 20 CONSECUTIVE
BACKWASHINGS will appear on the programmer screen.

This alarm indicates that the pressure differential gets to the electrical panel, this can be
due to a measure sensor failure, dust in the filters or dust in the water to be filtered.

Unblock the pressure switch or press the START, REARM, ALARM button in order to
delete the alarm.

2. If during the backwashing any of the engines running is stopped, the message LIMIT
SWITCH ALARM will appear on the screen.

This alarm does not need to be rearmed, it is necessary to check that the limit switch
signal gets correctly to the panel, then backwash twice.

If this is not corrected, please contact the manufacturer.

15. – HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.

The filter has a hydraulic valve for draining the backwashing flow. The valve remains closed
because of the internal spring, and it opens when introducing water in the lower chamber and it
closes when the drain is in process.

The valve has a mechanic regulation that allows to adjust the backwashing flow in isntallations
with a pressure superior to 6 bar.

The opening and closing process is automated by means of a 24V DC NC solenoid (normally
closed). It is specified in the drawing below.

The 3-way valve has to remain in AUTO position, allowing the possibility to operate manually with
the OPEN and CLOSE positions.

BEWARE!

FILTER THAT PROTECTS THE CIRCUIT MAINTENANCE BY MEANS OF

USUAL BACKWASHINGS.

LONG DISTANCE DRAINAGE CONDUCTION CAN RESULT IN

OPERATION PROBLEMS.

NOTE

THE PREVIOUS DIAGRAM IS VALID ONLY FOR STANDARD

EQUIPMENTS WITH MAXIMUM 10 BAR PRESSURE

ASK THE MANUFACTURER IN CASE OF DIFFERENT PRESSURES.
