Function of the Unit

5.1

Working notes

The ROPULS cleaning compressor is an electronic multifunctional appliance for flushing and
sanitizing. It may also be used as compressor.
There are two washing cycles with water-air mixture:
1. Rinse in pulses: Pulsating compressed air – water mixture (micro-process controlled).
2. Rinse duration air: For best results in case of very stubborn soiling, more air can be applied
through a "Water Air (permanently)" blast.
About the ROCLEAN Injector (optional accessory) and the corresponding ROCLEAN cleaning
materials are available the following applications:
– Drinking water
– Heating circuits with radiators
– Underfloor heating circuits / space heaters
After cleaning the heating circuits can be protected with the Long Life ROCLEAN liquid.
Manual ROCLEAN note!
By connecting a dosage pump, an officially approved cleaning agent or disinfectant may be
added to the pipe system. Its dosage quantity is controlled by the integrated impulse water me-
ter.
This type of flushing is only used for sanitizing.
The appliance may also be used as mobile compressor.

Installation and operation

6.1 General advice
The system should be set up directly behind an approved fine filter, before the distributor battery
or in any other place where there it can be appropriately connected to the pipe network and a
sewer connection.
1. A DIN-DVGW tested fine filter must be installed before the rinse compressor.
Pay attention to the rinse compressor's flow direction!
2. According to DIN EN 1717, if necessary, a suitable pipe separator or system separator must
be installed ahead of the rinse compressor to the tap water fuse.
3. Hot water treatment and/or secondary water treatment devices must be bypassed.
4. The final installation components (such as single-lever mixers, angle valves, etc.) must not
be installed before the rinsing process.
If there are fittings mounted in the wall, follow the manufacturer's information.
Sample installation: Fig. B2 Rinsing thermostat valves installed in the wall.
Sample installation: Fig. B3 Rinsing one-hand lever mixers installed in the wall.
5. Outlet hoses must be attached to the outlet fittings in such a way that they do not fold. Addi-
tionally, the hoses must lead to a drain of sufficient dimensions and be fastened (otherwise,
the end of the hose may slide off from a large thrust).
6. The maximum rinsing line length must not exceed 100 m.
7. To protect sensitive fittings; a pressure regulator must always be installed ahead of the
ROPULS.
8. All installed water lines should be checked for leaks.
9. After each use: Completely empty the hoses and the rinse compressor. Prevent water from
remaining in the hoses and rinse compressor. Store everything in a dry place.
