2.2.1 General
The Superior is a fully automatic vacuum degasser for
installations filled with fluid. The fluid contains dissolved
and undissolved gases. The function of the unit is to
remove these gases from the installation until the
concentration of undissolved gases has reached an
absolute minimum. Problems caused by gases in the
installation are thus eliminated.
The types S6A-R and S6A-R 2P have an integrated refill
automat. The refill automat maintains continuous
pressure in the installation. For this the unit adds
degassed fluid, if necessary. The unit can also fill the
entire installation with degassed fluid.
The type S6A-R 2P also has a back-up pump. In case of a
break-down of the main pump, the back-up pump takes
over the refill function of the main pump, thus
guaranteeing the system pressure.
2.2.2 Degassing
The unit starts up daily with the degassing process at a
time indicated by the user. The process has two phases:
1 The flushing phase: The fluid flows from the
installation through the solenoid valve (N) into the
vessel (B). The pump (O) continuously pumps the
(degassed) fluid from the vessel into the
installation. Here the degassed fluid absorbs gases
again.
2 The vacuum phase: The solenoid valve (N) regularly
closes, starting the vacuum phase. The continuously
running pump (O) provides underpressure in the
vessel (B). The underpressure causes the release of
the gases dissolved in the fluid, which are collected
at the top of the vessel. The solenoid valve (N)
opens again, starting a new flushing phase. The
gases collected in the vessel are removed from the
installation through the automatic air vent (A). The
SmartSwitch (R) in the control unit makes sure that
the degassing is stopped as soon as the content of
dissolved gases has reached the minimum level.
2.2.3 (Re)fill
The types S6A-R and S6A-R 2P of the unit constantly
check the installation pressure. The refill process starts
and stops automatically at the set values. The unit can
also be used to automatically fill the installation with
degassed fluid.
2.3 Operating conditions
The unit is suitable for use in systems filled with clean
water or mixtures of water with a maximum of 40%
glycol. Use in combination with other fluids may result in
irreparable damage.
The unit should be used within the limits of the technical
specifications as given in chapter 3.

5 INSTALLATION AND
COMMISSIONING
5.1 Installation conditions
•Install the unit on a frost-free, well-ventilated place.
•Electrically connect the unit to a 230 V / 50 -60 Hz
socket.
•Make sure the expansion system has the proper
dimensions. The water displacement in the unit can
cause pressure variations in the installation.
•There must be overpressure in the installation. This
prevents spontaneous aeration.
5.2 Unpack
The unit is delivered on a pallet.
1. Remove the packaging.
2. Loosen the screw (A) half a turn.
3. Remove the cover (B) from the unit.
4. Move the unit with two persons to the place of
installation. Lift the unit using the handles (C).
5.3 Installation and mounting
5.3.1 Mounting
•Wall mounting: Mount the unit on the wall using
the holes (A). Make sure that the mounting can
carry the filled unit (empty weight + 10 kg).
•Floor mounting: Place the unit on a flat surface.
Mount the unit on the floor using the holes (B).
WARNING
Do not hoist the unit when unpacked. The use
of webbing slings, chains and hooks can
cause irreparable damage.
A C
B
CAUTION
•Install the unit in accordance with the
local guidelines and rules.
•Install the unit as bypass on the main
transport line of the installation.
NOTE
•Preferably install the unit at the point in
the installation with the lowest
temperature. Here the most dissolved
gases are found in the fluid.
•Make sure when installing that the
operating panel is always easily
accessible.

5.3.2 Installation
Mechanical
1. Make two branch lines ¾” (A) on the side of the
main transport line. The distance between them
should be at least 500 mm.
2. Insert a valve (B) in each branch. With this the unit
can be depressurised.
3. Connect the line (A) to the flexible outlet hose (D).
4. Connect the line (B) to the flexible inlet hose (C).
With the types S6A-R and S6A-R 2P:
1. Insert a valve (F) and a non-return protection (E) in
the refill fluid supply line.
2. Connect the supply line to the refill connection (G)
of the unit.
Electrical
1. Loosen the screws (A) of the control cabinet.
2. Fold down the operating panel (B) to the front.
CAUTION
Make sure that the valves are opened before
putting the unit into operation.
NOTE
As seen from the direction of the volume flow,
the first branch is the inlet into the unit.

CAUTION
•Use a locally approved non-return
protection. A non-return protection can
be optionally delivered.
•Make sure that the pressure in the refill
line is below the system pressure. This
prevents undesired refilling in case of
failure of the refill line.
•Make sure that the lines leave the unit at
the rear.
CAUTION
•Preferably use a wall socket for the
power supply to the unit. This should
always be accessible.
•Mount an all-pole main switch (contact
opening >= 3mm) if the unit is directly
connected to the power supply.
•Use supply cables with the correct
dimensions.
•Always replace a defect fuse by a fuse of
the same value. See § 3.3.

WARNING
•In case of failure always warn the
installer.
•Remove the voltage and pressure from
the unit before starting the activities see
§7.2.

NOTE
In case of a failure the red LED is lit. The
failure report appears in the display.
NOTE
With the types S6A-R and S6A-R 2P the
