2.4 Lifetime
The function of FlowTimer+ must be checked by a qualified
technician at the scheduled intervals (see also chapter 9.3).
If the fluidic part of the unit shows a fault due to wear, this is
indicated by a fault in the overall system (incl. downstream
piping system) via the control electronics.

3 Intended Use
Please observe the notes in this operating manual as well as the
operating conditions and permissible data in the data sheet so that
the system functions perfectly and remains operational for a long
time. In case of non-observance of these instructions as well as in
case of inadmissible interventions into the system, any liability on
our part is void, as is the warranty on the system and accessories!
The FlowTimer+ is used for permanent monitoring of piping
systems for drinking water (see also chapter 2 "Technical data"). A
permanent water flow should be prevented without interruption
after a previously set duration and size and thus damage limitation
should be achieved by minimizing the amount of water flowing out.
Any other use or use going beyond this shall be deemed improper
use. The usetech GmbH is not liable for damages resulting from
this. The risk is borne solely by the user.

Intended Use
03/19 FlowTimer+ Set XL 7
3.1 Non-approved use
Unapproved use in the sense of a foreseeable misuse shall be
deemed to be improper use:
It has to be checked whether the existing installation allows a
smooth function of FlowTimer+ at all, e.g. permanent consumers
etc.
The FlowTimer+ may only be used with the components in the
set or other FlowTimer+ products, unless explicitly stated
otherwise! If components of other manufacturers are used,
usetech GmbH is not liable for damages and the warranty also
expires.
FlowTimer+ was designed exclusively for drinking water. The
system is not suitable for rainwater, other liquids or gases.
FlowTimer+ is not suitable for use within hot water preparation
or heating installation!

Intended Use
03/19 FlowTimer+ Set XL 8
3.2 Main differences to PPC 3000 Basic
FlowTimer+ does not shut off the water supply in case of a micro
leakage, but only displays it for comfort reasons!
The shut-off valve of the FlowTimer+ is open without power supply!
Thus the water supply can be restored comfortably only by
switching off the power supply if required or during a power failure.
An active bypass mode is therefore no longer included.
The FlowTimer+ can also be installed upstream of the filter or
backwash filter by means of an integrated filter system.
A configuration of the system is no longer necessary in most
applications, which means that the system is immediately ready for
operation after proper installation!
If required, however, the maximum permanent flow duration can be
set very simply by pressing a button.
A test mode is also available to assist the customer or installer in
troubleshooting a potential leak.
