Appliance description The control unit type WMS-100 is designed to operate the automatic washing systems of all common types of milking plant. The device controls all the main plant components via a cleaning pro- gramme that offers maximum programming flexibility and is easy to ope- rate.
Intended use These operating instructions contain important technical and safety information. Please read carefully before installation and before any work on or with the regulator. The universal milking control type WMS-100 is used to control vacuum pumps, solenoid valves, heaters and dosing pumps in milking plants. Any other use of the device is permitted only with prior written permis- sion from the manufacturer.
Installation It is essential not to install the device under the following conditions: " severe jolting or vibration " permanent contact with water " relative humidity of more than 90% " sharply fluctuating temperatures (condensation) " operation in an aggressive atmosphere (ammonia or sulphur fumes) - risk of oxidation "...

Installation Connection diagram ! Electrical connections must be as shown in the diagram below. ! Use cable bushes. ! Make sure that cables cannot chafe. ! Observe relay current rating. ! In all cases use contactors for pump and heater. ! Do not feed digital inputs with external voltage! Use potential-free switches.
Installation Electrical connection Before connecting ensure that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the device's type plate. Incorrect electrical connection can cause damage to the tank control and to the equipment. The mains voltage should not be switched on until all components including the sensor are connected.

Operation of working level °C Overview of operating possibilities OFF mode (tank empty) The control unit is on stand-by. The display shows 'OFF', the LEDs are out and all output replays are deactivated. Only detergent LED 'acidic' or 'alkaline' lights up. The following operating modes can only be selected from the OFF mode.
Operation of working level if present: °C Washing can be started only if the safety switch for the tank outlet is open. Only relevant if parameter [E26] is set to 1 START options for cleaning The detergent LED shows which detergent will be used for the next washing cycle.

Operation of the level “Serice parameters” + For installation and service purposes the control unit can be started at any desired washing stage. The adjustment for this is done in the service parameter level [E94]. If cleaning has once been started from the selected washing stage, it will subsequently again start from the same stage.
Setting the actual value correction A correction can be made to the value as measured by the sensor, which applies cumulatively over the entire measuring range. This is necessary when: - the length of the sensor cable is changed or - a faulty sensor is replaced - giving rise to an incorrect reading.
Fault indication on the display Faults in the regulator are indicated by a flashing display as follows: LED - Display Faults Pipe not in cleaning position Pipe not in milking position Water temperature not reached Broken sensor: The sensor or sensor cable is faulty and must be replaced or repaired.
General measures when using electronic control systems So that even complicated regulatory tasks can be presented to the user in a manner which is clear and simple and ensures high measurement accuracy, today's electronic control systems make increasing use of microprocessors.
Page 37
General measures when using electronic control systems If specific interference sources cannot be avoided they should at least be kept at a distance from the regulator system. Capacitive and inductive couplings can cause crosstalk between high- voltage lines and parallel low-voltage and sensor lines. This distorts measured values and signals and can disrupt the entire regulatory process.
Page 38
General measures when using electronic control systems Semiconductor switches such as thyristors or triacs also produce interference voltages. They occur as a result of non-linear characteris- tics and finite ignition voltages. These components must be protected against excessive voltages, for which mainly varistors, RC combina- tions or choke coils are used.
