Control and machine cabinet
All the system's mechanical and electrical components are installed in a switch cabinet. The
cabinet for internal installation is made from expanded polypropylene (EPP; used for
wastewater treatment systems for 4-10 inhabitants) or is a powder-coated metal cabinet (used
for wastewater treatment systems for 11 or more inhabitants).
For installation out of doors, the components are fitted in a plastic cabinet. The cabinet contains
both the control unit and all machine elements needed. It is opened using the key provided.

The internal switch cabinets may only be installed in dry, dust-free and well ventilated rooms
(cellar, technical room or garage). There must be a 230 V socket (16A, slow blow) near the cab-

Additional electrical fixtures on the same fuse may disrupt operation.
The cabinets should be freely accessible at all times; in particular the ventilation apertures
should always be uncovered.
