Main Control Unit The main control unit powers the sensors and continuously monitors their output state, ensuring a fast response to any possible diaphragm failure. If the main control unit detects a failure from either sensor the red LED on the front panel will flash.
Installation System Connection The main unit is fitted sockets for the connection of the two sensors and solenoid valve and a 150mm hard wired lead fitted with a socket and plug for mains power connection. The sensors are supplied pre-wired for immediate use. The solenoid valve, volt free relay and mains power connection plugs are user connectable using screw terminals internal to the plugs.

Power Connection Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the voltage requirements, 96 – 264Vac @ 50/60Hz, of the main control unit. Please observe the wiring code below, if in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

Main Power Connection (continued) L = Live (96-264 Vac) N = Neutral (96-264 Vac) E = Earth Internal screw terminals are lettered. Solenoid Valve Connection 1 = N/C 2 = +24 Vdc (positive) 3 = N/C 4 = -24 Vdc (negative) Internal screw terminals are numbered.
Leak Detector Operation During normal operation only the ‘Power’ LED on the main control box will be lit continuously. If a fault develops, i.e. from diaphragm or sensor failure, the ‘Fault’ LED will light flash and the pump will stop. To reset the system after a failure has occurred, and the cause has been rectified, press the ‘Reset’...
Maintenance NOTE: Always disconnect the power supply from the control box before any maintenance or cleaning operation is carried out. Clean Sensors In the event of a diaphragm failure the sensor housing will need to be cleaned to remove all traces of product that may stop the system from resetting and thus the pump from re-starting.

Pump Shut Down Check Once it is confirmed that the sensors are functioning correctly the pump should be reassembled to perform the ‘pump shut down check’. To perform this check: Connect the power supply to the main control unit. Turn on the air supply to the pump. The pump should not start and the red LED indicator on the main control unit should be flashing.
Check power supply lead for and system does not damage. function Confirm unit is receiving power. Main Control Unit fault Contact Flotronic Pumps Ltd for advice. Fault LED flashing Diaphragm failure Strip pump and check for diaphragm failure or the presence of liquid in the air chamber.
