1. PREFACE
With the Kyocera neutralisation unit, you are making an active contribution to protecting the environment.
Cleaning wastewater contaminated with chemicals directly at the point of origin protects the laboratory
and building structure and minimises risks. This is achieved with a minimum noise level and the smallest
possible installation space.
The Kyocera neutralisation unit helps you to comply with the limit values of municipal waste disposal
companies and their wastewater regulations.
The Kyocera neutralisation unit is characterised by its sophisticated technology, high-quality components
from leading manufacturers, simple and reliable construction and maintenance-friendly design.
2. NOTES ON USING THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
About this instruction manual
This instruction manual contains both operating and assembly instructions, whereby the operating
instructions are given first because they are expected to be used more frequently. Users of the Kyocera
neutralisation unit should read the instruction manual...:
- Read carefully before use
- Store during the service life of the device
- Make it accessible to staff at all times
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kyocera Environmental Equipment
(see cover page for contact details).
Symbols and markings
The content of the instructions is divided into four text elements: Pure information text, procedural
instructions, notes and safety instructions. You can recognise the corresponding text elements by the
following markings:

5. SYSTEM PROPERTIES
Material
All wetted parts of the Kyocera neutralisation unit are made of chemically resistant plastics. The reaction
tank, the chemical tanks and the wetted parts of the mix-pump unit are made of polypropylene (PP).
Other construction materials include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
fluoropolymer (FPM) and ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM).
Control system
The control and monitoring elements required for operation are housed in a compact control housing that
has been integrated into the housing contours. The use of a modern electronic control system ensures
that the Kyocera neutralisation unit functions reliably. Numerous interfaces enable simple and flexible
connection of the control system to other components and on-site equipment.
The optionally available analogue output (receptacle X4) must be ordered separately. Otherwise, the
corresponding receptacle is fitted but not wired.
