Fault Locator - LAMA EkoLU Manual De Instrucciones

1. Depending on the model, the equipment may come with some components or elements not assembled in order to
make transportation easier and safer, which then have to be assembled.
2. There are various filter models and various controller models. Check that the one you received corresponds to the
one you ordered or with the standard model. Each model has specific flow rates and voltages.
3. Place the filters in ventilated areas and on a flat surface, with a natural drainage path to the external drain and
keeping minimum distances to walls and ceilings in order to have easy access to manually disassemble the cartrid-
ges.
4. Fasten or screw in the inlet and outlet connections. Make sure that they are not subject to vibration or extreme
thermal expansion. Place the models Eko, Calado, and EkoSenior vertically on their legs (optional); the Automesh
and EKOLU models should be placed horizontally. In any case, they should be fastened to their flanged connections
rigidly enough to support the weight.
5. When the system is made up of more than one filter, only one controller is usually used (see controller manual).
6. Please, check the ferrule frequently. It is the number 6 item from the spare part at the page 17 and 20.
It belongs to the EKO and EKOLU filters.
7.- The working pressures of this equipment have been tested at 23º C in standard conditions. The use of the equip-
ment in extreme temperatures is not recommended, please contact us for further questions.

1. Water leaking from the drains of the Globo cleaning valves or other valves.
Wait until the system pressure is at least 1kg/cm² and, if necessary, increase the pressure or flow rate to reach this
EN
minimum pressure level. When the flow rate or pressure is low, sometimes it is necessary to install stabilising valves at
the outlet of the system to increase the pressure.
2. Significant loss of pressure when starting to fill the pipes.
When there is an excess flow rate due to low pressure in the pipes, a manual valve should be installed and closed off.
Alternatively, a system with an intelligent controller and a stabilising valve can be used. After some time and once the
piping system is full, the losses should match the flow rate and values given in the tables. The switchboards have a
system in place for delaying the start of the washing cycle to avoid this situation.
3. Repeated backwashing. This can appear for different reasons:
• Due to a significant pressure drop (see previous point).
• Short delay time for starting the washing cycle (see controller manual).
• Due to excess impurities in the water. Lowering the flow rate is recommended until the ducts are clean. After a
reasonable amount of time, the flow rate can be increased gradually.
• Check that the differential pressure is suitable.
• Because washing is not being completed successfully, due to the short duration of the washing or low pressure
during washing (see minimum required time, pressure, flow rate, and pollutants parameters for each model).
4. Washing does not occur and there is a loss of pressure.
Check that the base plugs are connected to the solenoids and that the safety screws are tight. Check that the stopcock
controlling the supply to the auxiliary filter is open.
It may be that the pressure connections to the sensors or to the pressure switch are wrong or badly adjusted. The three-
way valves or solenoids can be in an incorrect manual position.
5. Problems with the suction devices.
If there are water leaks when pressure is first applied or an object is introduced in the closure, close the optional shut-
off valve and/or eliminate the pressure before disassembling by unscrewing the base. Clean it, screw it back on, and
open the air valve.
