1. Safety information
1.1. Signal word list
•Any failure to observe any safety instruction in this user manual constitutes a risk to life
and limb.
•The annotations are marked with the following signal words:
DANGER indicates a dangerous situation which, if not managed, will
lead to death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a dangerous situation which, if not managed, may
lead to death or serious injury.
CAUTION together with the danger symbol indicates a dangerous
situation which, if not managed, may lead to minor or moderate injuries.
•Any failure to observe any safety instruction in this user manual which, though not
resulting injury, does result in damage to the system and its functionality, is identified by
the following signal words:
NOTICE describes the correct usage of the device.
•The above signal words can be combined with the safety warning symbols or warning
symbols.
General hazard
Danger of electricity
Hazardous to the environment
Risk of burns
1.2. Safety instructions
Caution: The UM units are not suitable for the treatment of water-
based liquids!
In the event of leaks, collect the oil using proper methods (oil binding agents).
The UM15 units are suitable for indoor use only and must not be installed
outdoors!

1.3. General provisions
•The UM15 unit may only be used for specific applications. Any application beyond this
shall be deemed not to be in accordance with the intended purpose. EATON
Technologies GmbH accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper use.
•All operators must read and understand this manual before commissioning the unit.
Changes to the system may only be made with the express permission of EATON
Technologies GmbH.
•For damage caused by:
oFailure to observe these operating instructions
oFailure of due diligence during transport, installation and operation
oImproper repair
oFailure to maintain the unit
EATON Technologies GmbH assumes no liability.
•We reserve the right to make design changes to the system. The contents of these
operating and maintenance instructions are subject to change without notice.
1.4. Intended use
The UM15 circulating filter units are mobile filter units corresponding to the technical
parameters of the 4019 data sheets. They are intended for the fine filtration of hydraulic oil
based on mineral oil and for extracting water from such fluids.
The UM15 circulating filter units remove oil from a container connected via a hose line in
order to clean it of dirt and water. The cleaned oil is pumped into the designated container.
The foreign matter accumulates in the filter. The device must be supervised during
operation.
The maximum permissible size of dirt particles in the operating fluid should be < 200 µm.
Larger dirt particles will cause premature wear of the gear pump.
1.5. Areas of application—compatibility
The UM15 units are only suitable for operation on hydraulic and lubricating oil systems
within the following operating limits:
•Hydraulic oils (H, HL, HLP, HLPD, HV)
•Natural esters (HETG)
•Synthetic esters (HEES)
•Gearbox oils (C, CL, CLP)
NBR (Perbunan) is used as a sealing material!

3. Commissioning
3.1. Initial and idle condition
The circulating filter unit is supplied in a ready-to-use condition. The initial and idle condition is
characterized as follows:
•The filter unit is not connected to the power supply network.
•The combined OFF - ON switch and motor-protective circuit breaker is switched off (switch
position O).
•Suction and drain hoses are wound up. The open ends of the hose line are located in the
respective holding tubes.
•The filter is equipped with a ready-to-use filter cartridge.
•The filter is empty.
The initial and idle condition must be restored after operation and after repair or maintenance.
3.2. Operational readiness
The cleanliness of the open hose ends, especially those of the drain hose, must be checked each
time before commissioning. Contaminants must be removed with solvent before the hose ends
come into contact with the operating fluid to be filtered.
The suction and drain hose must be attached to the respective connection points and immersed in
the operating fluid.
The open end of the suction hose must be immersed in the operating fluid by at least 100 mm
during operation.
It must be ensured that the circulating fluid can enter and exit freely at the open ends of the hose
lines.
The circulating filter unit is switched on and off using the combined OFF - ON switch and motor-
protective circuit breaker.

3.3. Reaction in the event of faults/troubleshooting
The motor-protective circuit breaker serves as overload protection for the electric motor,
disconnecting it from the supply voltage in the event of an overload. This can occur if the current
consumption of the electric motor is too high:
•When taking in cold oil
•In the case of high ambient or operating temperatures
•If the grid voltage is incorrect
To rectify this fault, the device should be allowed to cool down for a period of time. To restart the
unit, the motor-protective circuit breaker must be actuated (see figure).

3.4. Replacing the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge must be changed when contamination of the filter cartridge is signaled by the
contamination indicator "O" on the filter (red display field).
The filter cartridge must be changed when the filter unit is in the idle condition (device plug
disconnected from the grid).
To remove the contaminated filter cartridge, unscrew it from the filter top in a counter-clockwise
direction. Collect the oil contained in the filter cartridge in a suitable container.
Depending on the level of contamination in the open filter housing, it may be necessary to clean
the filter top before a new filter cartridge is inserted.
Lubricate the seal of the replacement filter cartridge with the operating fluid. Position the filter
cartridge and turn it clockwise until the seal touches the filter top, followed by another half turn.
The replacement cartridge must not be removed from the packaging until just before it is inserted
into the filter housing, at which point it must be checked for integrity (no visible mechanical
damage) and completeness.
Ensure that neither the filter housing nor the replacement cartridge are contaminated with dirt at
any point during the replacement process.
3.5. Cleaning the filter housing
It is necessary to clean the filter housing if liquid containing coarse contaminants has been filtered
and visible dirt is present in the filter housing. The filter housing is to be cleaned during filter
cartridge replacement.
The interior of the filter housing must be cleaned with conventional cleaning equipment and
solvents.
During the cleaning process, ensure that no dirt comes into contact with the clean side and that no
solvent remains in the filter housing.
3.6. General notes
•When carrying out any work on or with the circulating filter unit, care must always be taken
to ensure that suitable protective equipment is worn in accordance with accident prevention
regulations (UVV).
•The electric motor is equipped with a thermal and pressure-dependent safety switch, which
takes effect in the event of overload and automatically switches off the electric motor.
•If the protective function has taken effect on the electric motor, the status of the
contamination indicators must be checked and the element designated as contaminated
must be replaced.
•The electrical equipment has an IP 54 protection rating (device must not be used outdoors!)
