STS Installation• Located as close as possible to the tank to

minimize plumbing run

• Dedicated pickup and return lines, separated from the fuel lines of the genset and / or other pumps

• Pickup tube at one end of the tank and a suction pipe as close as possible to the bottom of the tank at the deepest spot. An oversized, low restriction foot valve is recommended to keep the line primed.

• The return line should be placed at the farthest most point from the pick-up tube

• A priming-tee should be installed on the highest point of the suction line

• A backing wrench is required to connect to the provided pipe nipples – do not put and stress on plumbing

• Always comply with all applicable standards, safety guidelines as well as local, state and federal regulations.

STS Installation

Redundant, Primary In-line Fuel Filtration• Redundant, Switchable, High Capacity

Primary Filter/Water Separator

• Full Flow Rated up to 2000 GPH (single filter)

• 1”HG or less restriction at full flow

• Single lever to switch between filters under full load for simple, fail-safe and intuitive operation

• Five separation/filtration stages ensure 99.9% water separation at max flow rate

• Compact Design

• No Mess Filter Change with Top Access with very little clearance required

• Stainless steel, liquid filled vacuum gauges with “tell tale” finger

• Push and turn safety drain valve

Filter Monitoring System

• Filter Monitoring System with local alarm display and dry contacts for BAS/BMS

• “Plug & Play” connection to Redundant, Duplex Filter System

• High Water Alarm for Left and Right Filters

• High Vacuum Alarm (Service Filter)

• All alarms are locally displayed, as well as provided as N.O./N.C. dry contacts on a terminal block for customer wiring

• Alarms are latching and need to be reset on local alarm panel with provided reset push button

• Filter Monitoring System is equipped with power status indicator light

• Power: 24V DC

• Delivered complete and “ready to go”

• Portable, compact system on handcart

• Simple operation• Restore your fuel instead

of disposing it• Low operating cost due to

low use of consumables• Flow rates 3, 8, 15 & 25
