DESCRIPTION OF FILTER OPERATION
Filtering process:
The EBS is a sophisticated yet easy-to-operate automatic filter, with a self-cleaning mechanism driven by an electric motor. The EBS is
designed to work with various types of screens in filtration degrees from 500 to 10 micron, and is available in 8", 10", 12" and 14"
inlet/outlet diameter.
The water enters through the inlet pipe into the fine screen from inside out. The "filtration cake" accumulates on the fine screen
surface and causes head loss to develop.
Self-cleaning process:
The EBS will start the self-cleaning process when the pressure differential across the screen reaches a pre-set value or a predetermined
lapse of time.
Cleaning of the filter element is carried out by the suction scanner, which rotates in a spiral movement while removing the filtration
cake from the screen and expels it out through the exhaust valve.
The scanner rotation is operated by a 2-way (fwd/rev) drive unit which is attached to the scanner by a threaded shaft, providing the
linear movement.
The exhaust valve is activated for the duration of the cleaning cycle by a 3-way solenoid. During the self-cleaning process, which takes
approximately 35 seconds, filtered water continues to flow out of the filter.
Different modes of filtration:
The filtration system may be found in one of the following modes:
1. Filtering mode: This is the normal function condition. Flushing is not occurring and the power light on the control board is lit.
2. Flushing mode: A mode in which the flushing process is in progress. The motor and the exhaust valve are operating according to the
program.
3. Continuous flushing mode: It is possible to activate the self-cleaning mechanism continuously by changing the operation mode on
the HMI.
4. Malfunction mode: During malfunction mode the self-cleaning operation is stopped, the malfunction light on the control board is
turned on and an external output is activated. . In case that there is HMI, the relevant fault error will be displayed.
The filtration system may enter a malfunction mode in the following cases:
1st. When there is a continuous signal from the pressure differential switch for duration of more than 15 minutes. This means that
the self-cleaning process is not successful.
2nd. When the motor protector was activated, either manually or due to overload.
3rd. As a result of a malfunction in the limit switches.
Initiation of self-cleaning:
The filter will enter the self-cleaning process as a result of any of the following causes:
1. A signal from the Pressure Differential Switch (PDS) - The PDS which is situated on the filter body, sends an electric signal when the
pressure differential across the screen reaches the pre-set value (usually 0.5 bar =7 psi). The control board registers the signal and
operates the flushing process according to its program.
2. Manually pressing the "TEST" push button at the control board.
3. The TIMER installed in the control board allows operation of self-cleaning process at time intervals that can be set up, independent
from the head loss factor. The timer resets after every flushing cycle.
4. A signal from continual flushing switch - This switch in the control board allows operation in continuous flushing mode; meaning,
the filter is flushing itself all the time regardless of flow rate or water quality.
Stages of cleaning cycle:
Under normal operating condition the electrical control panel operates the "EBS" filter in the following manner;
1. The exhaust valve opens to atmosphere.
2. Five seconds delay.
3. The motor starts rotating the suction scanner shaft upward until it reaches the upper limit switch.
4. The exhaust valve closes.
5. Two seconds delay.
6. The motor starts rotating the suction shaft downward until it reaches the lower limit switch.

EBS-15000-OL -910101-000111 910101-000111 / 08.2019 Page 10 of 22
Connect the drive unit to the control panel by means of a 4 x 2.5 mm (12 or 14 AWG) wire in flex-conduct. Use a long enough cable
to allow the drive unit to be removed and placed near the filter for maintenance, without having to disconnect it from the
cable. (It is recommended that this installation meets or exceeds local or national electrical codes, this is a "high" voltage
connection).
1. Control wiring:
The connection between the control junction box and the control board should be by 6 x 1.5 mm 2 (16 AWG) wire in flex-
conduct. The numbers on the terminals in the board and in the junction box are identical.
INSTALLATION
Design recommendations
1. If flow increases and pressure drops dramatically for a long period of time during network filling-up, it is recommended that a
pressure sustaining valve is installed downstream of the filter. The pressure sustaining valve will ensure a controlled filling-up
of the line.
2. If continual water flow is essential even during maintenance period, it is recommended that a manual or automatic by-pass is
installed, and the isolating valves will be used to isolate each filter.
3. In places where there is an expected temporary worsening of water quality, it is possible to operate an emergency flushing
program. In order to do so, a hydraulic controlled valve has to be installed downstream of the filter. For details, please
consult the manufacturer.
Installation instructions
1. Before beginning the installation process, carefully read the safety instructions in chapter 2 of this document and make sure
that all the workers at the installation site are fully aware of and comply with, these and any other local safety instructions.
2. Select a convenient location for the installation of the filter where operation and maintenance will be optimal. It is
recommended that a standard and safe lifting auxiliary is available for maintenance.
3. Install the filter vertically. Please note that a minimum clearance of 300 mm (12 In.) (Not including a crane) is required in
order to allow disassembly of the unit.
4. Ensure that the direction of flow is aligned with the arrows marked on the filter housing. (Flow outlet will always be from the
side; flow inlet is from the bottom).
5. Installation of a mechanical non-return valve downstream of the filter is required.
6. If possible, prior to installing the filter, thoroughly flush the main line at the connection point in order to remove large objects
that may damage the filter’s internal mechanism.
7. Install a drainage pipe to the exhaust valve. Minimum 3" diameter for a maximum pipe length of 20 meters (60 feet), for
longer drainage, 4" pipe diameter must be used for a maximum length of 40 meters (120 feet). Please note that no restriction
is allowed on the drainage pipe. For special applications, please consult the manufacturer.
8. If the system is designed to operate with working pressure higher than 4 bar (56 psi), it is recommended that a manual
valve is installed on the exhaust pipe, in order to enable regulation of the flushing flow rate & pressure.
9. The user should arrange suitable lighting in the vicinity of the filter to enable good visibility and safe maintenance.
10. The user should arrange suitable platforms and safety barriers to enable easy access to the filter without climbing on pipes
and other equipment. All such equipment should comply with the safety clauses of the relevant local standards.
IMPORTANT!!
Prevent static backpressure or reverse flow through the filter.
Install a non-return valve at the outlet of the filter.
Install a manual or a hydraulic valve downstream of the filter.

terminal strip in the control board.
b. Earth the control board.
5. Power connection to the motor:
Connect the drive unit to the control panel by means of a 4 x 2.5 mm (12 or 14 AWG) wire in flex-conduct. Use a long enough
cable to allow the drive unit to be removed and placed near the filter for maintenance, without having to disconnect
it from the cable. (It is recommended that this installation meets or exceeds local or national electrical codes, this is a "high"
voltage connection).
6. Control wiring:
The connection between the control junction box and the control board should be by 6 x 1.5 mm 2 (16 AWG) wire in flex-
conduct. The numbers on the terminals in the board and in the junction box are identical.

DISMANTLING & ASSEMBLING OF FILTER COMPONENTS
Opening the filter and disassembling its inner components is necessary for changing screens, periodic maintenance and repairs.
Prior to opening the filter it is recommended to operate a flushing cycle by pressing the "TEST" push button.
Dismantling
1. Disconnect electrical power.
2. Close the water and drain the filter housing.
3. Pull the electrical plug from the solenoid valve (13). Disconnect the raccord connector (17.3).
4. Unscrew the bolts (14.1) and remove exhaust valve (14).
5. Unscrew bolts (12.3) and remove drive unit (12). Put the drive unit on a dry and protected surface near the filter. If the electric
cable is not long enough, disconnect it from the motor.
6. Pull out the split pin (20.2) from the connecting pin (20.1) then pull out the connecting pin as well. If the connecting pin is not
facing one of the shaft housing windows, turn the drive shaft (11) a little. Use 17mm or 11/16 spanners.
7. Turn the drive shaft (11) counter clockwise so that it will be separated from the suction scanner shaft (7.3).
8. Unscrew bolts (29.2) and remove the limit switches sling without disconnecting and changing the limit switches position.
9. Unscrew bolts (10.5) connecting shaft housing (22) to filter lid (8).
10. Pull up the shaft housing. Put it near the filter, make sure not to damage the limit switches electric wires. If necessary,
disconnect the wires from the connecting box (18.9). (Do not forget to mark all wires for proper reconnections).
11. Remove O-ring seal (10.7).
12. Unscrew the housing bolts (8.3) and pull the lid using a crane or other lifting device, which is assembled exactly above the lid
center.
Note: the lid must be removed in a horizontal position in order to prevent damage to the suction scanner and the upper bearing
seals.
14. Remove the housing O-Ring (2).
15. Pull the scanner (7) and the screen (6) (including screen seals 6.1/6.2).

Extracting the Screen
The screen is heavy. To avoid personal injury use the Extractor and a lifting device to extract the screen.
1. Clean and dry the rubber pads on the Extractor
2. Fold the Extractor upwards (Figure 1).
Figure 1
3. Insert the Extractor into the screen, about a quarter from top. Make sure that the extractor cushions do not touch the stitch
found along the screen interior.
4. Pull the extractor up so that it is firmly set against the inside wall of the Screen (Figure 2)
Figure 2:
5. Attach a lifting device to the ring on the Extractor, and extract. Never lift the screen above people or equipment.

Reassembling the "EBS" filter
Before reassembling, visually check that all components are complete and in good mechanical condition.
1. Install the seals (6.1/6.2) on the screen (6) and insert the screen into the filter housing (1).
2. Position the scanner (7) in the filter housing. Make sure the lower shaft goes through the bearing (5).
3. Locate the housing O-ring (2) properly in its groove.
4. Apply some grease on the suction scanner shaft (7.3) and on the O-rings (8.7 and 24.1).
5. Lower the filter lid (8) carefully toward the filter housing (1) in a horizontal position. Make sure the lid is centered with the suction scanner.
7. Screw the rest of the housing bolts. (8.3) Tightening opposite positioned bolts will achieve proper sealing.
8. Locate the O-ring (10.7) in its groove under the shaft housing (22). Place the bolts (10.5) but do not yet tighten them firmly.
9. Turn the drive shaft (11) clockwise until it reaches the suction scanner shaft. Insert the connecting pin (20.1) to the hole in the drive shaft
through the suction scanner shaft hole.
10. Insert the split pin (20.2) in its original position.
11. Make sure that the drive shaft key (11.1) is in its place. Apply grease on it and reassemble the drive unit (12).
12. Tighten firmly the shaft housing bolts (10.5) and the drive unit bolts (12.3) in a controlled and balanced method.
13. Reassemble the limit switches sling (29.3). Make sure the limit switches (29 and 29.1) are tight in their place.
14. Reassemble the exhaust valve (14), solenoid plug and pilot tube.
15. Make sure that all bolts are tightened.
16. Switch on the power. The motor will run until limit plate (28) reaches the lower limit switch (29).
17. Press the "test" push button and make sure the filter works according to stages of cleaning cycle (page 6).
18. Slowly turn on the water, watch and eliminate any leaking.
