Proper Use - BEKOMAT 14 CV Instruciones De Instalación Y De Servicio

Caution!
Malfunctions in the application!
Through incorrect installation and insufficient maintenance, the BEKOMAT can malfunction. Condensate
which is not discharged can lead to damage to plants and in manufacturing processes.
Measures:
• Fail-safe condensate discharge directly optimises the compressed-air quality.
• To prevent damage and failures, it is imperative
• To comply with the provisions regarding proper use and with the operating parameters of the BEKOMAT in connection
with the case of application (see chapter "Proper use").
• To strictly adhere to the installation and operating advice in these instructions.
• To maintain and check the BEKOMAT at regular intervals in accordance with the advice in these operating instructions.

Proper use

• The BEKOMAT is an electronically level-controlled condensate drain for compressed-air plants.
• It is employed within the permissible operating parameters (see "Technical data").
• The BEKOMAT is able to drain condensate under operating pressure from the plant components virtually without com-
pressed-air losses.
• For its function, the BEKOMAT 14 requires an operating voltage and an operating pressure (see "Technical data").
• As far as the employment in plants with increased demands on the compressed-air quality is concerned (food industry, medi-
cal technology, laboratory equipment, special processes etc.), the operator must decide on measures for the monitoring of
the compressed-air quality. These have an effect on the safety of the subsequent processes and may prevent damage to
persons and plants.
• It is the task of the operator to ensure that the indicated conditions are met during the entire operating time.
• For the employment in CO
• The BEKOMAT and the condensate supply line need to be protected against frost, as otherwise the function cannot be guar-
anteed.
BEKO also offers suitable products for this purpose.
Exclusion from the field of application
• The BEKOMAT as a condensate drain alone cannot guarantee a defined compressed-air quality, for this purpose, other ad-
ditional technical devices are required.
• BEKOMAT 14 is not suitable for use in plants carrying vacuum or atmospheric ambient pressure or in hazardous areas.
• The BEKOMAT must not be exposed to permanent direct solar or thermal radiation.
• BEKOMAT 14 must not be installed and operated in areas with an aggressive atmosphere.
BEKOMAT 14 CV, 14 CO CV
plants, a BEKOMAT with a CO specification (BEKOMAT ... CO) must be used.
