ATEX Zones inside tank wall
External cleaning: Typically zone II or unrestricted
Internal cleaning: Typically zone II when ventilated
Robot and control box available in CE ATEX II version
Operation in ATEX II zones can also be performed with HWP [Hot Work Permit]
ATEX Zones outside tank walls
Often without ATEX restrictions. If restricted HWP [Hot Work Permit] is necessary.
In- line Heater [HB0000X]
Minimum Entry dimensions Ø650 mm [25.6 Inch] without removing tracks
High pressure hoses: MA00039 (supplied) + M000495 between pump and heater if needed.
Control cable to operator: M000136 Orange control cable (supplied)
Power and control to robot: M000668 red hybrid cable (supplied)
Connection for voltage and frequency must comply with delivered product configuration.
System can run without In-line heater or purchased locally if needed.
External cleaning, load arrestor placement. Pulley setup is recommended.
High Pressure System [HPS000X]
Pump Power: 380-440 V / 32A (cables supplied)
Pump Water: 25 l/min+ (hoses supplied)
Robot power: 230 V / 16A (cables supplied) (connected to electrical cabinet on pump)
Internal cleaning, load arrestor placement.
Always operate between two load arrestors
Rubber selection

Coated surface
(White coating systems, glass lining etc.)
Accessories - items to consider
Additional Magnet pack
2-3 additional magnets are nice to have on a job to mitigate friction issues.
Correct rubber setup
Choosing correct rubber setup based on the job, RED is the “safe” all-round option. Though changing for a large job can be beneficial.
Too high friction will increase robot wear and can make the pads “ pop” out.
Too low friction can slow down operation due to lack of traction.
Friction modifications
Magnet adjustment [MANU016]
Remove magnets
If friction is too high (high wear on rubber pads etc.). The rear magnet pack can be removed. Follow MANU016 .
Add magnets If friction is low (sliding) add magnet pack in center.
Control cable extension
If tank is very large, or operator needs to be a long distance from the power box. An additional control cable + extension connector can be acquired.
Power verification
Make sure to verify is job has 50 or 60 Hz available. 50 Hz will lower the water volume from the pump. Making sure nozzles are correctly sized is important for the cleaning quality. 220-240V 16A is required for the operation.
Cable Load - Rear support
If tank is very high, the drag in the hybrid cables, can cause the hybrid cable to break if cables are also dragged.
A small trick to avoid this and to release the stress and strain on the hybrid cables, is to mount a rear anchor and use a strong (80 kg+) cable tie to secure the hybrid cable in the rear anchor.
