WARNING:
Interrupt system operation before any maintenance operation.
Any operation on the equipment must only be carried out after reading the safety requirements
listed in this manual.
ATTENTION:
the end user is authorised to intervene on the equipment only to clean the filtering
element.
NOTE:
particular conditions of use (type of water, operating pressure, etc.) can result in maintenance
being required more frequently and at closer intervals.
DISASSEMBLING THE HEAD FROM THE ADJUSTABLE T FITTING
- Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the recess shown (image 2), gently lift the clip into position
and remove it from the head
- Separate the FDM-3 head from the adjustable T fitting by slightly rotating it (rotation facilitates
removal of the T fitting provided with O-rings)
ASSEMBLING THE HEAD ON THE ADJUSTABLE T FITTING
- Properly lubricate the O-rings (only use silicone lubricants)
- Fully insert the adjustable T fitting into the head housing and slightly rotate it (rotation facilitates
insertion) (Ref. B)
- Insert the clip into the head housing; make sure it is properly inserted in the slot of the T fitting
and the head and adjustable T fitting are perfectly coupled (Ref. C)
VENTING - LOADING CHEMICAL ADDITIVES
FDM-3 head is equipped with a threaded cap, which can be used both to vent and load the system
with protective/treatment chemical additives.
NEODYMIUM MAGNETS
WARNINGS FOR APPROPRIATE USE
The Neodymium magnets used in the FDM equipment are contained inside a brass cylinder,
conveniently sealed to prevent the magnets themselves from coming out.
The magnetic cylinder assembly can, however, be a potential source of danger and the warnings
below must be respected.
WARNING: Electrical conductivity
Magnets are made of metal and conduct electricity.
WARNING: Pacemakers
Magnets can influence the regular functioning of pacemakers and implanted defribillators. If you
have either of these devices, keep a safety distance of at least 30 cm from the magnets. Warn
people who have these devices to stay away from the magnets.
WARNING: Magnetic field
Magnets generate an extended, powerful magnetic field. They can damage televisions and laptop
computers, credit or debit cards, digital storage devices, mechanical clocks, hearing aids, speakers
and other devices. Keep the magnets away from all devices and objects that could be damaged by
intense magnetic fields.
WARNING: Airplane transport
Magnetic fields generated by inappropriately packaged magnets can influence airplane navigation
devices. Only ship the magnets by air in packaging equipped with sufficient magnetic shielding.
WARNING: Postal shipping
Magnetic fields generated by inappropriately packaged magnets can interfere with automatic sorting
systems and damage goods in other packages. Use an ample sized box and arrange the magnets
in the middle of the package, surrounding them with packaging material. If necessary, use sheet
metal to shield the magnetic field.
WARNING: Effect on people
According to current knowledge, the magnetic fields of permanent magnets have no measurable
positive or negative effects on people. It is unlikely for the magnetic field of a permanent magnet
to constitute harm to health but this risk cannot be entirely excluded. For safety, avoid prolonged
contact with the magnets.
WARNING: Heat resistance
Neodymium magnets have a maximum operating temperature of 80°C. Most neodymium magnets
permanently lose a part of their force of attraction at a temperature over 80°C. Do not use the
magnets for applications other than the ones intended.
Warranties
- Keep the sticker placed onto the package to identify the product.
- For UE member Countries, warranty terms are applied as indicated by the Directive 1999/44/CE and 2011/83/UE.
For extra UE Countries, the product is granted by a limited warranty for 12 months from the date of purchase
proven by a regular receipt. The liability of Atlas Filtri S.r.l. is limited solely to the replacement of proven defective
product, excluding shipping, installation labour or other repair costs. No warranty is given on filtration or any other
performance as it may vary with local water conditions.
For any controversy whatsoever, Atlas Filtri S.r.l. elects the Court of Padova as the competent Bar, with the
application of the Italian Regulations and Laws.
