Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
Control Panels for Automatic Self-Cleaning Strainers
Model 596 and Model 2596
CONTROL PANEL DESCRIPTION
The ACS Series Control Panel is a rugged electro-mechanical
unit made with industrial grade components and suitable of
outdoor (NEMA 4) installation. The enclosure houses all
components, is compact in size and is offered in two
configurations:
ACS-2S
: All standard features and includes motor and starter
for backwash arm for 120 volt-single phase power supply
ASC-3S
: All standard features plus motor starter for backwash
motor and transformer for 460 volt-3 phase power supply
The ACS line of control panels allows operation either in the
Manual or Auto modes. In the Manual mode, the strainer will
continuously backwash. In the Auto mode, the strainer is
allowed to backwash according to the preset timing cycle or
when the differential pressure switch is activated.
NOTE: The customer determines the timing cycle
length and changes it as required.
The control logic protects the strainer from sudden high
quantities of solids or an improperly adjusted timer cycle.
Whenever the differential pressure switch is activated, it
overrides the timer circuit and opens the backwash valve.
NOTE: An On-Off cycling of the backwash
valve will occur.
If frequent activation of the differential pressure switch is
evident, the timer cycle must be re-set to backwash more
often.
The panel door locates the selector switch and the indicating
lights. The weatherproof rating is maintained as long as the
lamp lenses are not broken and are not removed.
