“Cleaning” fault. Auto Retry: Tanktronic can detect if the valve cannot complete a cycle due to debris. The SCV will automatically release the valve by retrying the Open/Close action. If cycle cannot be completed, then an alarm is sent as a “Valve Jammed”...
Valves Tanktronic Control Valve A range of metal-bodied Tanktronic Control Valves is available, in 2”, 21/2“, 3”, 4” and 6” sizes. These valves should be specified when high flow rates are required. Included: Control Valve with solenoid, Discharge Pipe Flanged Assembly, Stub Flange and Backing Ring.
A non-latching 3rd party inlet valve may be controlled from the Tanktronic. The live feed to the valve should be connected through the Volt-Free Contact Outputs on the Tanktronic Control Unit, as illustrated in the drawing on Page 9 (for VFCO spec please see Back Page).
Overide Level. (See Devices Page 17) Tank Shape: Tanktronic assumes your tank is a uniform shape and the water volume is a function of the cross sectional area x water depth. If your tank is a Horizontal Cyclinder and the area changes with depth, then you must change the default shape: Main Menu >...

• Active/Inactive state • Address Connecting to Building Management Systems (BMS): Tanktronic can be connected to proprietary BMS systems via the VFC available on the Control Unit or S-Module. Reset Latched Devices: If manual reset is selected the device will require manual intervention to reset the VFC.

If additional tanks have been added, the system must be configured so it recognises the sensor of each tank. Main Menu > Tank X > Config > Devices > Add device > KERAFLO SENSOR Name the sensor and select the next free input address.
Menus Status Menu: The status of Tanktronic sensors, valves and devices can be reviewed via the “Status” menu option. This is useful for fault finding and checking the state of valves in multiple tanks. You can view water level and temperature, devices (for example, is a valve open or closed), software version and more.
