Setting up the instrument
Water filter
In addition to the filter sieve supplied (item 3 in
Fig. 6)
Leica recommends
installing a sediment filter between the water extraction outlet and
ST5020, to guarantee that the instrument is only operated with clean wa-
ter.
This sediment filter should have the following properties:
Filter fineness:
25 μm
Rate of flow:
approx. 10 l/min (with 5 wash stations)
Pressure constancy:
10 bar
Connection to the filter output: 1/2“ external thread
This filter insert must be checked and cleaned regularly.
If the filter insert is very dirty it must be replaced.
