Combination with Proficlear module filter (B)
Operation of Bitron 550 LM (1) is only possible in systems with integrated pump. A maximum of three module filters
M2-M5 (2) may be installed downstream of the UVC clarifying unit. Please read the documentation covering the Profic-
lear module filter system.
Installation (C-K)
As standard, the unit is equipped with a 2" connection at the inlet and a DN 150 connection at the outlet.
Installation of the sludge drain (C)
The dirt water might contain fish manure and has to be disposed of in accordance with the valid legal regulations. For
this purpose, bond a DN 50 pressure pipe (4) to the dirt water drain (3). Lay the pipe (4) with a 20 mm/m gravity.
Inlet with a 2" or OD 63 connection (D)
2" connection: Screw the stepped hose adapter (7) with the sealing ring (8) on the inlet (9). Slide the hose clip (6) over
the hose (5), plug the hose (5) on the stepped hose adapter (7), and secure the hose (5) on the stepped hose adapter
(7) by means of the hose clip (6).
OD 63 connection: Shorten the stepped hose adapter (7) and screw on the inlet (9) with the sealing ring (8). Glue the
OD 63 pipe (10) with the stepped hose adapter (7).
ND 100 connections (E-K)
Preparatory work (E): The unit (1) must be converted to be able to use the ND 100 connection. Remove the four cap
nuts from the cover, remove the cover (11), loosen the engagement hooks (13) and completely remove the inner cover
(12).
Inlet with DN 100 connection (F, G): Remove the 6 screws from the inside of the container, then take out the plug 150
(14) including sealing ring 150 (15). Tightly fasten the inlet socket 100 (16) and the sealing ring 150 (15) using the 6
screws on the inside of the container. Close the 2" inlet (9) using the threaded cap (17) and the sealing ring (8). Con-
nect a ND 100 pipe and route it as straight as possible (maximum 45° bends) and well protected.
Outlet with ND 100 connection (H, J): Remove the 6 screws from the inside of the container, then take out the outlet
plug 100 (18) including sealing ring 150 (15). Tightly fasten the outlet socket 100 (16) and the sealing ring 150 (15)
using the 6 screws on the inside of the container.
Final work (K): Insert the complete inner cover (12) into the container and arrest using the engagement hook (13). Fit
the cover (11) and secure cover with four cap nuts.
Outlet connection
Connect a pipe ND 150 or ND 100 with the least possible bend (maximum 45° bends) and route well protected, with a
minimum incline of 10 mm/m.
Start-up (L)
Ensure that the slide valve (22) of the sludge drain is always closed when the unit is in operation! Danger of completely
emptying the pond!
Prior to start-up, check that all hooks (13) at the inner covers are firmly closed and that all connected hoses and pipes
are correctly seated.
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures: Disconnect the power plug (19) prior to reaching into the water and commencing
work.
Switching on
Start with connecting the pump and checking all connections for leaks. Subsequently, switch the UVC clarifying unit on.
The UVC clarifying unit switches on automatically when power connection is established. Whether or not the UVC lamp
is lit can be checked through the inspection window (21). The luminosity is insufficient in heavily soiled water, making a
visual check impossible. Remedy: Switch off the pump and wait until the sludge in the water has settled. Once the
sludge has settled, switch the pump on again.
Notes
− The water level indicator (20) is intended to check the water level in the container. When the float switch is at its
maximum raised position, the water builds up in the container, and the filter system must be cleaned immediately.
− Once the start-up is completed, close the container (1) with the cover (11) and secure with four cap nuts.
− When a Proficlear module filter M2-M5 is connected downstream, operate the Bitron 550 LM for approx. one week
with the UVC lamps switched off to allow bacteria cultures to form on the bioballs.
Switching off
Switch off the pump first, then disconnect the power plug (19) from the UVC clarifying unit.
