Frequently Asked Questions - F76CS HONEYWELL

What is the difference between the F76CS and FK76CS models?

The FK76CS model includes an adjustable pressure reducing valve at the outlet. The F76CS is a simple fine filter without a pressure reducer. Both models are available with or without swivel connection.

How to install the F76CS filter?

Mount the filter on a horizontal or vertical pipe with the filter bowl facing down. Install it after the water meter, protected from frost. Use the supplied swivel connection for easy installation. Observe the flow direction indicated on the housing.

How often should backwashing be performed?

At least every 2 months according to DIN 1988 part 8. In case of very dirty water, increase frequency. A backwash lasts about 3 seconds, to be repeated 3 times in succession.

What to do if the water pressure at the outlet is insufficient?

First check that the shut-off valves are fully open. If the screen is dirty, perform a backwash. Also check the mounting direction (arrow on the housing). For FK models, adjust the downstream pressure.

Can I use the filter for hot water?

No, the maximum operating temperature is 40 °C for the transparent bowl. Beyond that, use the bronze filter bowl (FT09RS) which withstands up to 80 °C and 25 bar.

How to clean the filter bowl and screen?

Close the water supply, depressurize, unscrew the bowl using the hex wrench. Remove the screen, clean it with clear water without solvent or alcohol. Reassemble in reverse order, tightening by hand.

What to do if the ball valve drips?

The ball valve must be replaced if it drips. Check its condition visually during backwashes. The spare part is available (ref. KH11S-1A).

How to mount the swivel connection?

The swivel connection screws onto the pipe. Check the flow direction. If the existing thread is too long, it must be reduced to 6.3 mm. Ensure that no tensile or bending stress is applied to the connection.

What is the warranty for this filter?

The manual does not mention a specific warranty period. Consult your dealer or Honeywell for applicable warranty conditions.

Can I automate the backwash?

Yes, by adding the Z11S automation. It triggers backwashing at adjustable intervals (4 min to 3 months). This accessory is compatible with F76CS and FK76CS models.

1. Follow the installation instructions.
2. Use the appliance
   according to its intended use
   in good condition
   with due regard to safety and risk of danger.
3. Note that the appliance is exclusively for use in the applications detailed in these installation instructions. Any other use will not be considered to comply with requirements and would invalidate the warranty.
4. Please take note that any assembly, commissioning, servicing and adjustment work may only be carried out by authorized persons.
5. Immediately rectify any malfunctions which may influence safety.

2. Functional description

The reverse rinsable filters hold back any dirt particles in the water. These particles are then completely flushed out by reverse rinsing.

Filters with Double Spin Technology have turbine blades which circulate the water and thereby set the rotor on the upper filter into a rotational motion. The internal impeller rinses off particles that have adhered to the upper filter at the intersecting points with the rotor.

The filter combinations (FK76CS and FKN76CS) combine reverse rinsing filter and pressure reducing valve in one appliance.

The integral pressure reducing valve functions on a balanced force principle whereby the force exerted by a diaphragm is balanced against the force of an adjustment spring. The inlet pressure has no influence on opening or closing of the valve. Inlet pressure fluctuation does not therefore affect the outlet pressure.

3. Application

7. Assembly

7.1 Installations Guidelines

• Install in horizontal or vertical pipework with filter bowl downwards
  o This position ensures optimum filter efficiency
  Installshutoffvalves
• Ensure good access
• Pressure gauge can be read off easily
• Degree of contamination can be seen with clear filter bowl
  o Simplifies maintenance and inspection
• Fit immediately after water meter
  o Corresponds to DIN 1988, Part 2
• The installation location should be protected against frost

7.2 Assembly instructions

1. Thoroughly flush pipework
2. Install rotatable connector piece

o Note flow direction

o Install without tension or bending stresses

When connecting to an existing flange of another make ensure that the inlet flow is through the outer ring of holes. If this is not so, the whole connection piece must be installed the other way round, even if the arrow does not then indicate the actual flow direction. If the flange is threaded, the threaded holes must be drilled out to a diameter of 6.3mm .

1. Install filter to rotatable connector
2. Seal in pressure gauge

7.3 Discharge of reverse rinsing water

The reverse rinsing water must be routed to the drain channel in such a way that no backwater can occur.

To do this there are 3 options:

1. Direct connection:

o Connector DN 50/70 as well as the necessary pipes and siphon (3 elbows 90^ ) in DN 70.

1. Drain free to existing floor drain.
2. Drain into open container.

8. Commissioning

8.1 Setting outlet pressure (only FK76CS/ FKN76CS)

Set outlet pressure min. 1 bar under inlet pressure.

1. Close shutoff valve on inlet
2. Release pressure on outlet side (e.g. through water tap)
3. Close shutoff valve on outlet
4. Loosen slotted screw

o Do not remove slotted screw

1. Slacken tension in compression spring
   o Turn control handle to the left (-) until it does not move any more
2. Slowly open shutoff valve on inlet
3. Turn control handle until the setting scale shows the desired value
4. Retighten slotted screw
5. Slowly open shutoff valve on outlet

8.2 Reverse rinsing

During reverse rinsing, an inlet pressure of at least 1.5 bar is required. The reverse rinsing interval depends on the degree of dirt in the water. At the latest every 2 months, reverse rinsing should be carried out according to DIN 1988, Part 8. To ensure convenient and regular adherence to the reverse rinsing interval, we recommend installing an automated reverse rinsing system Z11S.

Filtered water can also be tapped during reverse rinsing.

8.2.1 Manual reverse rinsing

If reverse rinsing water is not to be discharged via a direct connection, a collecting container must be positioned beneath before reverse rinsing.

1. Open ball valve by turning the reverse rinsing button to the stop point

o Select bar must be upright
o The patented reverse rinsing system starts
o When filtering with Double Spin Technology, a visual function check is possible through the rotating red rotor

1. Close ball valve again after approx. 3 seconds. Repeat procedure three times

o If the filter is extremely dirty, the procedure may have to be repeated additional times

With aid of the memory ring, the next deadline for manual reverse rinsing can be booked.

8.2.2 Automatic reverse rinsing with the Z11S

The automated reverse rinsing system Z11S is available as an accessory. The automated system reliably takes over reverse rinsing of the filter at intervals which can be set between 4 minutes and 3 months.

9. Maintenance

We recommend a planned maintenance contract with an installation company

In accordance with DIN 1988, part 8, the following measures must be taken:

9.1 Inspection

9.1.1 Pressure reducing valve(only FK76CS/ FKN76CS)

Interval: once a year

1. Close shut off valve on outlet
2. Check back pressure using a pressure meter when there is zero through-flow
