These evaporating times are multiplied with a factor depending on the water level. Level Factor Table 2: Evaporation time factor Monitoring of the evaporation time The evaporating time is just measured and monitored, above the following values: 200V 230V 380V 400V 415V 440V...
Notes on unit components and functions Main electronic components The Nordmann Omega Pro is built-up by three electronic boards. • Integrated controller board The operating and control module of the unit. The main software functionality is implemented on this board. It’s possible to control up to an 80 kg/180 lbs unit with one integrated controller.

Level unit The water level inside the steam cylinder is determined with the assistance of a level measuring device, called "level unit" that is provided with five Reed contacts. With these five Reed contacts six levels can be detected (level 0 to 5). The different levels are shown in the following table. Level Reed contacts Remarks...
Fill and drain sequences The fill and drain control is made up of different procedures, which run together event-driven. 5.5.1 Fill and drain states on the Basic unit State Procedure Condition Condition NO Condition YES Next procedure – Start up Level test Level ≤1 Steam cylinder...
Idle Drain If the unit is a certain time in standby the cylinder with the standing water would be the perfect environ- ment for legionella and bacteria. Because of that, the idle drain is used to change the cylinder water after a defined time of 1-100h.
Service interval times and reduction time The service interval times and reduction time can be configured in two different ways. 5.9.1 Manual input of the service interval times and reduction time With this type of configuration the interval times for the small and the extended maintenance as well as the reduction time are manually inputted in the control software.
5.9.2 Calculated service interval and reduction time If the water supply quality is well known, it’s also possible to set the water mode in such a way, that the interval times for the small and the extended maintenance as well as the reduction time are automatically calculated based on the water quality.

5.10 SIM card The main memory for the settings is in the flash memory of the integrated controller; the SIM card serves as a backup of all settings. When starting the integrated controller, the serial number of the SIM card is compared to that of the integrated controller.
If an Integrated Controller without software is used, proceed as follows: 1. Switch off the power to the Nordmann Omega Pro and insert the USB stick with the requested soft- ware into the USB port at the back of the Integrated Controller.

7. Open menu "Factory > Factory Default" and select <Reset Serial Number>, then confirm with <Yes>. 8. Disconnect the Nordmann Omega Pro from the mains and after 3 seconds switch it back on. Confirm the message "First Power Up" during the starting sequence with <Proceed>.

Transferring the original settings from the SIM card is not possible when: – A completely new control unit with a new serial number is delivered (see case 10.3). The serial number has been loaded into the integrated controller during production. It does not match the serial number of the existing SIM card.
