2Important information
2.1 General information
This manual describes the operation of the K-Pilot 9.7 controller.
With the AQUATO®K-Pilot 9.7 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 9.7 controller can be used to operate SSB, SBR, fixed bed and fluidised bed 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 9.7 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 9.7 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!
It must not be switched off.
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.
