General Safety Instructions
• Amiad Water Systems Ltd. ("Amiad") filtration products operate as components in a larger system. It is
essential for the system designers, installers, and operators to comply with all the relevant safety standards
and regulations, including the use and wear of appropriate safety equipment.
• Prior to installation, operation, maintenance, or any other type of action carried out on the filter, carefully
read the safety, installation, operation, and warranty instructions.
• During installation, operation, commissioning, or maintenance of the filter, all conventional safety
instructions should be observed to avoid danger to any person, including the workers performing the said
activity, or to property in the vicinity.
• Please note: the filter enters a flushing mode automatically, without warning.
• Manual cleaning of filter element using high water pressure or steam should be performed in accordance
with the cleaning system instructions, the local standards, and regulations.
• Manual cleaning of filter element using acid or other chemical agents should be performed in accordance
with the relevant material safety instructions, the local standards, and regulations.
Observe and act according to the requirements detailed in the safety stickers on the filter, if any.
Installation & Operation Manual | Mini Sigma | General Safety Instructions 8

Installation
General
➢ Install the filter according to the detailed Installation Instructions provided with the filter by Amiad
included in this manual.
➢ Minimum spacing above the filter should be 30cm (12").
➢ Tighten all bolts during commissioning and after the first week of operation.
➢ Use only appropriate or recommended tools and equipment when servicing the filter.
➢ Shipping and transporting the filter must be done in a safe and stable manner and in accordance with
the local standards and regulations.
Hydraulics
➢ We recommend installing a manual water cut-off valve next to the filter’s inlet port.
➢ In cases where the piping network is downstream, and the filter is pressurized, an additional manual
water cut-off valve should be installed next to the filter outlet port.
➢ We recommend that the system includes a pressure release / drainage valve to enable release of residual
pressure prior to any maintenance procedure. It is recommended to add an air release valve.
➢ Ensure that the filter is not exposed to water pressure that exceeds the maximum pressure defined by
Amiad. If needed, a pressure reducing valve should be installed upstream of the filter.
➢ Please note that the maximum working pressure indicated in the filter’s specifications table includes the
pressure caused by water hammer and pressure surge effects.
➢ If possible, prior the installation, thoroughly flush the main line at the connection point to remove large
objects that may damage the filter’s internal mechanism.

To prevent static backpressure or reverse flow through the filter,
it is recommended to install a non-return valve.

Changing Installation Configuration
Changing the inlet direction:
If the original configuration does not match the required installation position, the lower body can be
rotated 360°.
In order to change the configuration of the filter (according to the table above), follow these steps:
1. Disassemble the filter according to the basic disassembly procedure on page 22
2. Disconnect the command tubes from the Sigma lower body
3. Remove the clamps according to the following steps:
a. Unscrew the bolts on both sides of the clamps, using two 13 mm (1/2’’) wrenches
b. Remove both clamps

6. Reconnect the upper and lower bodies:
a. Place the clamps on the filter
b. Screw the bolts on both sides of the clamps, using two 13 mm (1/2’’) wrenches
c. Connect the lower body command tubes
Screw
7. Continue the installation process according to the basic assembly procedure on page 28.

Changing the drain pipe outlet direction:
Note: Ensure that in all assembly configurations the drain pipe outlet faces toward the ground (the drain
pipe can rotate 360°).
The drain pipe can be connected on both sides of the filter and can rotate 360°.
In order to change the drain pipe side, follow the instruction on chapter Valve and Cylinder
Maintenance on page 34.
360°
In order to change the configuration of the drain pipe follow these steps:
1. Open the nut a quarter turn
Unscrew

2. Rotate the drain pipe to the desired direction
Rotate
3. Tighten the nut

Universal flange replacement (Optional)
The universal flange can be removed, it is possible to connect the filter by a grooved connector.
To remove the universal flange, follow these steps:
1. Remove the o-ring
2. Push the flange backward and remove the conical ring

Initial Operation
➢ Carefully read this operation manual prior to operating the filter.
Note: If flow increases and pressure drops dramatically for a long period of time during network fill-up, it
is recommended that a pressure sustaining valve be installed downstream of the filter. The
pressure sustaining valve ensures a controlled fill-up of the line.
For initial operation or operation after maintenance, follow these steps:
1. Open the inlet valve slowly while the outlet valve remains closed
2. Open the outlet valve slowly
3. Make sure there are no leaks in the filter
4. Perform a manual flush two times

Inlet valve
19 Installation & Operation Manual | Mini Sigma | Initial Operation

Maintenance
General inspection:
A general inspection of the filter operation should be done regularly and prior to any scheduled maintenance.
This includes pre-season, post-season, and seasonal check-ups.
General inspection procedure:

1. Initiate a self-flushing cycle
2. Check that the exhaust valve opens and closes normally
3. Visually check the filter housing and valves for leakage
Long-term cessation of filter operation

The following must be done if the filter will not be operated for the season:
1. Operate a flushing cycle (if possible, with a closed downstream valve)
2. Release pressure from the filter and drain it
Winterization
To avoid damage or breakage, the filter, including the cylinder and command tubes, must be drained prior
to frost periods.
A step by step instructions:
1. Initiate a manual flush to make sure that your screen will be clean for the
shutoff period. Check that the outlet isolating valve is closed and perform
two manual rinses.
2. Close the isolation valves (inlet and outlet).
3. Initiate an additional manual flush to release the pressure inside the filter.
4. If available, open the 3/4" drainage filter body valve (available only on
"angle" models).
5. Disconnect the 2 tubes that supply water to the filter piston. (Steps 5-8 see
pages 40-42).
6. Release the green nut that tighten the piston in place by using the
designated tool that is supplied with the filter.
7. Pull out the piston and drain the water from both the piston and the piston
rod.
8. Re-assemble the piston, making sure that the sealing mechanism is in place inside the cylinder (see
instructions in the manual or on the piston label).
9. Mark the tubes that are linked to the ADI-P controller and disconnect it from the controller for the
duration of the winter season.
10. Dismantle the green clamp that is close to the piston, take off the lid and drain the water from the filter
body. Re-assemble and tighten the clamp. (See pages 24-25)
Installation & Operation Manual | Mini Sigma | Maintenance 20

Before any maintenance operation, please read the following:
➢ Installation, operation, and maintenance should be performed by technicians in accordance with Amiad's
instructions and in accordance with this manual. Other service should only be done by authorized
technicians.
➢ Disconnect the filter from the water system by closing and securing the manual inlet valve. In cases where
the downstream piping network is pressurized, close and secure the manual outlet valve.
➢ Release the residual water pressure by opening the pressure release: open the drainage valve (angle) or
the high-pressure port (on-line).
➢ Empty the filter by opening the drainage valve.
