3 General information 3.1 AS-Interface in general The ThinkTop is designed to ensure optimum valve control in conjunction with Alfa Laval sanitary valves and it is compatible with all major PLC systems (Programmable Logic Controller with AS-interface). The ThinkTop can be equipped with 0-3 solenoid valves. The solenoids are electrically controlled by the AS-Interface and when activated the compressed air is activating the air actuator.
10. Terminals 20. External connections TD 800-267 TD 800-267 Type: Alfa Laval “No Touch” System. For wire connections: See 5.4 Electrical connection, internal“. F F eatures - Tolerance programmes. - Self adjustment programme (SRC/ARC valves only). - Built-in maintenance monitor.

4 Technical specifications Self Adjustment (SRC/ARC valves only) The self adjustment feature is an exceptional aspect of the ThinkTop design. A programme can be activated to allow an adjustment of the tolerance band if the seals in the valve are being compressed or are worn. When the tolerance band of the unit has been adjusted 0.3 mm, an alert warning will appear in the form of a status signal and a flashing maintenance LED.

4 Technical specifications External sensors The external sensors are used for seat-lift supervision when seat-lift can not be internally detected. The sensors get their supply voltage from the terminal row. The output signals from the sensors are connected to two inputs on the terminal row on the internal sensor unit.

7 Troubleshooting 7.1 Troubleshooting and LEDs Below is stated the meaning of the LEDs’ indications for fault finding in connection with the operation of the ThinkTop. Red flashing: Unit in set-up mode or internal software fault. If internal software fault, re-programme unit. Red steady: Unit in set-up mode or internal hardware fault.
