elniko Basis Assembly And Operating Instructions

Initial operation

The subshell should be assembled on the wall or on the frame of the silo with delivered screws and dowels. Do not
crease the pressure sensor. The cables with Ø 0,3 mm² could be extended at any length. Please insert the batteries and
mind the polarity. Switch to the right the signal slide to "I". The contained capacity of wood pellets is indicated by a every
ten seconds blinking LED. In addition a signal tone resound, which has to be switched of with the slide switch. After
refilling of the silo the slide switch has to be switched to „I".

Designated application

elniko is a product, which measures the filling level of wood pellets in a silo. You can measure pellet bulk
material with the quality of DIN/ÖNORM ENplus A1 A2. The placement of the latest reserve (lowest sensor)
can be fixed according to your demands. The higher the sensor is appropriated, the sooner the signal
module will warn and the more pellets are inside the silo. We recommend to appropriate the sensor on that
filling level, where you have enough wood pellets for two or three weeks before an alarm is given. By
inserting the batteries, please mind the right polarity. It is not allowed to install the signal module inside the wood pellet
storage (silo, buried tank, etc.). Danger of explosion! The cabels of the sensors have to be fixed inside the silo with
enclosed adhesive tape or cable clamps. It is not allowed to operate elniko, when the housing of the signal module is
open, or components of the housing are missing. An operation in not allowed in damp areas, outdoor areas, in wet or high
humidity areas. Other application than described is not allowed, because the product could be damaged or can cause
other dangers like short circuit, fire, electric shock etc.. It is not allowed to change or to rebuild the whole appliance. The
safety instructions have to be followed. We assume no liability in case of failed heating system.

Opening of the housing: Press simultaneously with thumbs and forefingers of both
hands on the middle of the side parts of the housing and remove carefully the cover
forwards. Thereby pay attention to the cable connection.

Assembling of sensor for fabric silo/buried tank

For assembling of the sensor cable you have to open the fabric silo on the pipe clamp. Fix the sensor cable inside of the filling
nozzle with cable straps. In case of several filling pipes you have to make sure, that the sensor cable is not assembled into the
flight direction of pellets during filling.
At GEOplast fabric silo the nozzle for adaption of the sensor cable should be dismantled.
Close everything again please. You can fix the signal module at the structure of the silo.
The cable of the sensor could be easily adjusted. You have to move the cable of the sensor or hung it longer or shorter in the
silo.
