1. Safety Instructions:
• This equipment has been built and examined according to the safety precautions for electronic
devices and has left the plant in a perfect safety-related condition.
• To keep this status and to guarantee a safe operation, the user must
observe the safety instructions, which are included in these operating instructions.
• The installation work may only be undertaken by an authorized and licensed installer or
electrical business.
• The electrical installations must be carried out according to the respective local and regional
regulations (e.g. OEVE, VDE...) and possible official regulations.
• The electrical connection must have separating device built into the permanently installed
electrical installation, which enables the disconnection of all electrical contacts with a
contact space of minimum 3 mm from the mains.
• Pay attention that the supply voltage is correctly protected and an
earth-leakage circuit breaker < 30 mA is installed.
• Only use the equipment in dry rooms, in which no combustible gases and
vapors are present.
• Do not operate the equipment immediately if it has been taken from a cold into a warm area
The thereby developing condensation water could destroy your equipment
• If the equipment has visible damages doesn't work anymore or has been stored for longer
periods under adverse conditions then it is to be expected that a safe operation is not possible
anymore.
In this case the equipment is to be secured against unintentional start-up and if necessary to be
decommissioned.
• Live parts can be uncovered when opening the cover or removing parts.
Before an alignment, maintenance, a repair or a change of parts or devices, the equipment must
be separated from all voltage supplies, if opening the equipment is necessary. If after that an
alignment, maintenance or a repair on the opened equipment under voltage is inevitable, it may
only be done by experienced skilled personnel, who have knowledge of the associated dangers
and/or the relevant regulations.
• Capacitors in the equipment can be still charged, even if the equipment
is separated from all voltage supplies.
• Assembly and/or disassembly of the armature only in a pressure-free status (i.e. empty piping
beforehand).
• Armature flow and/or direction of flow must be considered!

2. General:
PRAHER superstar controls are significant technical products, which are manufactured with high accuracy and according
to the most modern technical production methods. Entitled complaints will naturally be rectified as fast as possible if they
occur.
Warranty: According to “EU”-law. The warranty begins on the delivery day. The date is in the serial number on the rate
plate.

3. Intended use:
It is a control unit for a 6-way valve, with which a filter is fully automatically flushed by pressure application. A filter pump
connector is available, which when reaching the respective valve positions switches on delayed for approx.. 20 seconds.
Parallel there is also a potential-free signal. The dry operation protection ensures a safe operation of the plant.

Additional electrical connections are possible:

To position flush, to position back and clear rinse, for the serial connection of various valves, for the interruption of a heating
or heat exchanger before cycle start, for ball valve during the cycle

4. Assembly:
Equipment installation - installation of the valve
Integrate the valve into the piping according to the inscription and the following sketch. Use transition screw connections.
Seal threaded connections only with teflon band. The equipment is functional in any position, however if possible should
not be installed with the actuator downwards.
