 STANDARD FEATURES

A1a MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM DP ALARMS ON ONE SINGLE RELAY (K2)

Minimum and maximum dP alarms act on the same relay. The display will specify the type of alarm.
A2a RELAY VOLTAGE ON (K1)
If the timer is supplied, relay K1 is activated and the terminal board contact is closed. In case of power failure, this contact is open.
B1b SELECT NUMBER OF OUTPUTS
Selection of the number of outputs connected by keyboard in set mode. If you set 0 or AUTO in this function the sequencer will automatically select
the connected loads and skip those not connected. If the load is below 5 W, autoselection does not work, set the number of outputs in set up.
B2x ACTIVATION TIME FROM 0.05 TO 5.00 SEC.
B3x INTERVAL TIME FROM 1 TO 999 SEC.
If the pulse time is lower than 1 sec. it is possible to set any interval time value in the range indicated.
If the activation time is higher than 1 sec. the minimum settable interval time is:
Minumum interval time = 5 times pulse time (B2x)
B3c INTERVAL TIME BETWEEN EV. DURING POST-CLEANING
Interval time between two activations settable by keyboard when post-cleaning cycles are active and during the forced cycles of option C2x if
available.
The selection range is the same as the inteval time in standard operation mode (B3x).
B8b SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION OF EVERY SINGLE OUTPUT
In case of short-circuit, the corresponding output is automatically skipped. Relay K2 will signal the alarm condition and display will show the alarm
situation code E1 (See the alarm description).
Press key E to reset the alarm.
B10 MANUAL ACTIVATION OF EVERY SING OUTPUT FROM KEYBOARD
By the keyboard it is possible to manually and individually activate every single output for an operation test.
Press key A to select the output wished to activate. Press key C to activate the output.
C1 DIGITAL DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE CONTROL (STOP AT CYCLE END)
In automatic running mode (C4a), the washing cycle is activated and deactivated according to the dP readout.
C1a Set the washing STOP threshold: if dP is below this threshold, the washing cycle stops and the display shows 'CYCLE STOP FOR LOW dP'. The
washing cycle stops at the end of the cycle (Set 13).
C1b Set the washing START threshold: if dP is above this threshold, the washing cycle is activated (Set 14)
C4 CLEANING CYCLE
If all the requirements for the start-up of the cleaning cycle are fulfilled when supply is powered on (e.g. fan on, external consents C6 or D5, dP
readout above the start threshold), the sequencer will automatically activate the EV outputs sequencially according to the times set by keyboard.

C4a AUTOMATIC OPERATION MODE

You can select the operation mode by keyboard in SET MODE. In automatic mode, the controls of the fan, the dP, C6 and D5 are active and the
activation of the cleaning cycle will depend on such functions.

C4b MANUAL OPERATION MODE

You can select the operation mode by keyboard in SET MODE. In manual mode, the control of the fan, the dP, C6 and D5 are not active.
C8 DP ZERO READOUT REGULATION
In this set up code it is possible to adjust the zero reading of differential pressure. In this function the display shows the dP reading and, with plant
stops or air pipes not connected if the dP reading is not 0.00 kPa it is possible to adjust it by key A and C.
C7c1 MINIMUM DP ALARM. ALARMED CONTACT OPEN. AUTOMATIC RESET.
If the dP readout is below the threshold in Set up, the minimum dP alarm is activated. The display shows the alarm condition code E8 (see the alarm
description) or the dP readout and letter L alternatively, according to the model.
The corresponding alarm relay will signal its condition. The alarm is automatically reset when the dP readout is above the threshold again.
If set to 'OFF' or 'E' (according to the model), the function is excluded.
NOTE: the minimum dP alarm is delayed by 60 seconds by default after the activation of the first washing cycle.
C7d1 MAXIMUM DP ALARM. ALARMED CONTACT OPEN. AUTOMATIC RESET.
If the dP readout is above the threshold in Set up, the maximum dP alarm is activated. The display shows the alarm condition code E7 (see the alarm
description) or the dP readout and letter H alternatively, according to the model.
The corresponding alarm relay will signal its condition. The alarm is automatically reset when the dP readout is below the alarm threshold again.
The activation of this alarm is delayed by 20 seconds by default.
C13_10 DP FULL RANGE 10KPA
Maximum differential pressure value measurable by the device 10.00 kPa = 100.0 mbar = 1012 mmH2O.
With dP reading over 10 kPa the display shows 'E' instead of the numeric value of dP.
D1b1 ADDITIONAL POST-WASHING CYCLES FROM DP READOUT. ACTIVATION AT STOP.
In automatic operation mode, you can add a pre-set number of cleaning cycles after the fan stop. Their number can be set from 0 to 99 by keyboard.
The sequencer will automatically recognise the fan state by comparing the dP readout with the threshold in set code 11: dP > set 11 = fan on, dP <
set 11 = fan off.
Post-cleaning cycles are activated even if dP = 0.
When the fan is off or dP < set 11, the display shows 'FAN STOP'.
The display shows 'POST-CLEANING ACT' during additional cycles and if there is no alarm.
Post-cleaning cycles are activated only if the dP readout should reach the threshold value of cycle STOP in normal operation mode.
D5a CONSENT FROM EXTERNAL COMPRESSED AIR PRESSURE SWITCH
If the operation mode is automatic and contact D5a is open, the cleaning cycle stops, relay K2 indicates the alarm situation. Close D5a to restart the
washing cycle from the point where it had stopped. If contact D5a is open, the display shows alarm code E6.
NOTE: Jump D5a if it is not used with active digital inputs.
D6a ON/OFF CLEANING CYCLE FROM EXTERNAL CONTACT
If contact D6a is open, the cleaning cycle is not enabled and the display shows 'START CONTACT D6a OPEN'.
Close D6a to start cleaning cycle from the first electrovalve.
NOTE D6a: Jump D6a if it is not used with inputs on.
