Description Of Operation
The installed SW version and the symbol ---, meaning that coherence between settings
stored in E2Prom and the set jumpers is being checked, will appear on the display when
the economiser is powered up. A corresponding error code will appear in case of
discrepancies between settings (see Alarms Table). Only editing functions will be
allowed on the unit. The operator may switch off the unit and configure the jumpers
correctly.
Symbol 0_0 will appear on the display if the test is entirely successful. The following
pages will then appear:
• In automatic mode (F01=1):
o dP value alternating with OFF if the enabling contact (14-15) is open
o dP value alternating with -0- if the enabling contact (14-15) is closed and
the fan is off
o dP value only if the fan is enabled and active.
• In manual mode (F01=0):
o OFF if the enabling contact is open (14-15)
o -0- if the enabling contact (14-15) is closed and the fan is off

Manual Operating Mode F01=0

The economiser will work as a programmable cycle sequencer in manual mode. The
connected outputs will be activated at the programmable frequencies. Manual mode can
be activated by accessing the configuration menu and setting F01 to 0. F02 and F03 will
set the activation time and the pause time, respectively.

Automatic Operating Mode F01=1

By selecting automatic mode (F01=1), the economiser will work autonomously can
carry out the pneumatic washing cycle only when needed. The device will start the
washing cycle if the obstruction is higher than Threshold_dP_Start (F08). Washing is
suspended when obstruction drops under Threshold_dP_Stop (F09) level until it reaches
a value higher than the Threshold_dP_Start threshold once again. When washing is
active, the economiser respects the times set in F02 (operating time) and F03 (pause
time).

Automatic Mode With Forced Cycle F01 = 2

Identical to the automatic mode, except for the fact that it is possible to obtain a
cleaning cycle with the activation of the solenoid valves connected without reaching the
Threshold_dP_Start (F08). The forced cleaning interval may range from 1 to 999 h and
can be selected through function F22 and F23.

Proportional Mode F01 = 3

With the proportional mode, the economiser will work in full autonomy, initially setting
the dP_Start threshold (F08), activation time (F02) and pause time (F03).
When the Start Cleaning threshold is exceeded, the solenoid valves are automatically
activated in sequence. If the dP threshold drops below 15% at the end of an entire
cycle of pulses of the connected solenoid valves, the washing is suspended until
pressure returns to a value above the Start Cleaning dP value. If the dP value does
not drop below 15% of the Start Cleaning threshold, the frequency of the cycle time is
automatically reduced in proportion with each entire cycle of pulses of the connected
solenoid valves, until a minimum cycle time between solenoid valves reaches 10
seconds. The minimum threshold of 10 seconds has been chosen so as not to hamper
the dispensing of air by the compressor connected to the filter.

10
Cleaning Function With Fan Off (PCC)
This function allows to carry out one or more cleaning cycles (the number of cycles is
defined by F13) when the fan is off. The on or off state of the fan may be determined
by the state of the contacts 12-13 (contacts open = fan off) if F11=0, or may be
determined automatically (with F11=1) when the dP pressure drops under the threshold
defined in F12. The pulse time of the valves will always be that defined in F02, while
the pause time in this case is defined in F14.
The display alternately shows the number of the valve activated and the word PCC.

Number Of Output Selection

The number of outputs (solenoid valves) on which the economiser will run the cleaning
cycle can be selected. Cleaning will be carried out in order from the first to the last
solenoid valve. The valves can be adjusted by the F04 function.

Precoating Function (F18=1)

This function is used to carry out precoating. Precoating is a filtering element treatment
carried out with precoating powder. Washing and manual output activation is suspended
during precoating until the precoating thresholds defined in F19 is reached.
The dP value and the message PC (precoating) will appear alternatively on the display.

dP Zero Calibration (F07)

This function is used to reset dP reading with the fan off.
Increase or decrease the value shown by pressing “+” and “-” as required. This value
will be subtracted from the value read by the dP sensor.

dP Sensor Self-Calibration
This function allows to reset dP reading with the fan off automatically.
Hold “SET” and “OK” pressed at the same time with the device off. The message “CAL”
will appear after the start-up test. Release the buttons. The unit will go back to normal
state after a few instants. Automatic calibration is complete.

Fuse
A fuse which can be reset in case of need is located near the power terminal board.
Use a delayed fuse 5x20mm.
