4. Plug the USB stick into the USB port of the REMS Multi-Push
See 2.3 for the further procedure.
The defaults for the different test criteria (test sequences, pressures and times)
in the settings menu of the REMS Multi-Push are taken from EN 806-4:2010
or the information leafl et “Leak tests of drinking water installations with compressed
air, inert gas or water” (January 2011) of the German Central Association for
Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK). All defaults for the test programs
can be edited by the user in the Settings menu and in the Flushing, Test with
ith water and Compressed Air Pump programs. Changes
in the Settings menu are sav
d, i.e. they reappear the next time the REMS
Multi-Push is switched on. If the defaults are only changed in one of the programs,
the original defaults appear again the next time the REMS Multi-P
on. Reset resets all defaults to factory settings and the language to German
(deu) and the date, time, units formats to DD.MM.YYYY, 24 h, m/bar.
The user is solely responsible for transferred or newly entered

The respective national safety provisions, rules and regulations valid for
the application site must be considered and observed.
The electronic memory of REMS Multi-Push holds 40 fi les (logs). A soon as a
program has been selected from the Start menu and the selected data have
been confi rmed with Enter, a new fi le no. is
created automatically even if the
program is then aborted e.g. with Esc. If the 40th memory location is occupied,
the message “Last fi le no. available”. After completing thi
should be copied to a USB stick via the USB port (Fig. 2 (33)). The oldest fi le
no. in the memory is then overwritten when further fi les are saved.

The cleaning effect by fl ushing can be reinforced by adding compressed air. In
accordance with EN 806-4:2010 and information leafl et “Flushing, disinfection
and commissioning of drinking water installations” (August 2014) of the German
Central Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK), the
drinking water used for fl ushing must be fi ltrated whereby particles ≥ 150 µm
must be held back and the water must be perfectly fi t for drinking (REMS fi ne
fi lter with fi lter cartridge 90 µm, Art. No. 115609). “The pipe system can be fl ushed
under pressure with a drinking water/air mixture intermittently with a minimum
fl ow velocity in every pipe section of 0.5 m/s. A certain minimum number of tap
fi ttings must be opened for this. If the minimum volume fl ow is not reached with
full fi lling of the distribution pipe in a section of the pipe system to be fl ushed, a
storage tank and a pump must be used for fl ushing.” “The system must be fl ushed
section by section depending on the size of the installation and the lay of the
pipes. No fl ushing section may exceed a pipe section length of 100 m.”

compressed air is fed with an exces
