The SKN controller is designed to control the process in LM/VM distillation columns. Functions of the controller make the column operation much easier. Main features of the controller: Two independent outputs 16A 230/400V. Cooling water electrovalve (NO relay output) LM electrovalve (max 12V 1,5A NO/NC) VM motorized valve (max 12V 40mA) Four thermometers with resolution of 0.01...

Please keep in operation, check especially mind fluids perfect connections operating under conductors, therefore each significant load, retightening might be element must be grounded even necessary.

VALVE max 2 x 3.6kW 230V Water valve. The SKN controller is not designed to supply the water valve from its own power supply. The water valve should be supplied from the mains 230V or separate power supply. The ZW connector should be simply considered as a switch, which will close its contacts when the controller wants to activate the water circulation.
1.2. LOW-VOLTAGE PART The control panel and the execution part EXECUTION BOARD should connected with cable enclosed. The respective terminals should be connected at both ends (i.e. GD-GD, V+- V+, etc.). There is a connector at the panel that could be easily detached. temperature sensor should...
2. Check operation of particular outputs, select operation points of VM and LM Valves (3.2). 3. Configure initially the controller (point 3.4) 3. SERVICE MENU This menu includes essential parameters of the controller. To enter this menu, press and hold for e few seconds the button, when the logo screen appears press the button and wait for e few seconds.
LM TYPE – specify the valve type (NO – normally open or NC – normally closed) Dt – parameter controlling the valve. The SKN controller controls the electrovalve in sophisticated way, in order to reduce heating of the valve and make it possible to use valves form a wide range of valves, which would not be suitable for direct operation with this appliance (e.g.

recommended to work in mode of G1 modulated and G2 continuous, where the modulated heater will be supplied form different phase then lighting. Max VM opening – defines the maximum valve opening. When running the process it will be impossible to select higher valve opening, reducing the possibility to select higher capacity then the column can provide and frequent process destabilization at beginning phase of collecting the heart.
3.4.3 SENSORS SETTINGS This menu consists of two screens. In the first of them you can define what sensors will be connected the controller, and therefore their correct operation should be checked. Sensor alarm – leaving the sensor crossed out informs the controller that give sensor will not be connected.
Turning Off and long holding of the button depressed when making changes would not save them (saving into memory is done with exiting the editing). Principles of the process might be also changed during its running. Remember, however, such changes have immediate impact so unexpected process interruption or move to next phase may happen.
A better solution might be the principle of VM closing time. When the column is good (and the accessories set correctly), the valve will start to close in the very ending phase of collection and each next closing will be longer and longer. The so far observations indicate the time of a level of 10 min.
6.2. SOFTWARE UPDATE Updating process is simple, however the appliance not covered with warranty could be damaged. Each update attempt is recorded in the controller together with a file fragment. Do not load a software other then designed for this appliance. During updating is could happen the controller will cease its correct operation and e.g.
