2Important information
2.1
General information
This manual describes the operation of the K-Pilot 18.1, K-Pilot 18.3 and K-Pilot 18.4 controllers.
With the AQUATO®K-Pilot 18.1/18.3/18.4 controller, you receive a quality product that is designed for
controlling small wastewater treatment plants. In addition, it automatically controls compressors and
pumps. During operation, the units are current- and pressure-controlled in order to ensure operational
safety.
The K-Pilot 18.1/18.3/18.4 control device can be used to operate SSB and SBR wastewater treatment
plants.
Please read this information in advance to ensure proper operation and compliance with the required
discharge values.
The complete operation manual must be kept directly at the plant so that
both the operator and qualified personnel can inspect it at any time.
2.2 Important information
The AQUATO® K-Pilot 18.1/18.3/18.4 controller indicates faults acoustically and optically. It features a
mains-independent power failure monitoring system.
After commissioning, please receive instruction in the plant engineering and functioning of the
AQUATO®K-Pilot 18.1/18.3/18.4 controller.
The warranty shall become void in the event of improper use!
In the case of repairs, the proper functioning of the plant and the continued validity of the warranty can
only be guaranteed if original spare parts or spare parts approved by AQUATO®are used.
The small wastewater treatment plant must always remain in operation!
If you have any problems with your controller, please consult your maintenance company. They will be
happy to help you solve any problem you might have.

If the AQUATO®controller is used for other purposes without the express consent of AQUATO
Umwelttechnologien GmbH and/or if the safety instructions are disregarded, this may result in danger
or injury to persons and malfunctions or defects in the plant.
The relevant accident prevention regulations must be observed!
In this case, all liability shall be excluded.
Modifications to the controller and unauthorised conversions are not permitted.
The AQUATO®K-Pilot 18.1/18.3/18.4 controller must be installed properly and in accordance
with the installation instructions (see Chapter 5).
The Controller Operation Manual must be read carefully before installation and commissioning and the
instructions contained therein must be strictly followed!
During assembly and installation, commissioning and operation, as well as, if applicable,
decommissioning, the applicable standards and regulations must be observed.
All work may only be carried out by trained specialists with an appropriate certificate of qualification.
The operator of the plant must be instructed in its operation by the fitter.
When connecting the controller, national regulations and the specifications on the nameplate must be
observed. The device may only be operated on mains types which contain a protective conductor
(PE). Connection to the mains must be made by means of a separate fuse and an RCD fuse. Before
commissioning, the electrical protective measures must be checked to verify their proper functioning!
