5 Water container and pump
Water separator VT2 ready for connection designed for screed insulation layer drying
in the vacuum mode, with compressor or soundbox VP2/VP3/VP6.
The connected compressor (soundbox VP2/VP3/VP6) draws the air/water taken in (e.g.
from the insulation layer) through the water separator. The water is collected in the
bottom part of the VT2. The integrated level controller switches the side channel
compressor off and the waste water pump on. The waste water pump pumps the water
out of the VT2 through the waste water hose.
When the water level in the VT2 drops below approx. 1 cm, the compressor switches on
again and operates up to the next pumping process.

Use tubes of 50 mm diameter for efficient drying. Smaller tubes result
in high energy consumption and longer drying times.

Operation
The water separator operates as follows:
At the moment when the water separator is switched on the compressor
(soundbox VP2/VP3/VP6) connected to the appliance socket of the water separator
starts running.
The separated water is collected in the water container.
When the water container is full, the appliance socket for the compressor
(soundbox VP2/VP3/VP6) is disconnected.
The pump is switched on and pumps the water out.
When the water container is empty, the pump switches off.
The compressor (soundbox VP2/VP3/VP6) switches on again.
6Maintenance and service

WARNING
Danger of injury by electric shock and risk of material damage
Always observe the general safety instructions when
performing any maintenance and service work!
,
CAUTION
Damage to the device
Cleaning agents can cause damage to surfaces.
Use only mild detergents.
The cleaning intervals depend largely on the operating conditions.
