  • Page 34: Raw Water Tank

    UFS8000 Components As far as level measuring is concerned, the percentage with empty tank, the percentage with full tank and the percentage for refilling the tank can be specified. The installation will enter the “Filtration” phase as soon as the percentage goes below the level of the one specified for filling the tank.
  • Page 35: Dosing Tank

    UFS8000 Components If only a low-level switch is programmed, the raw water tank programming can be used to set a delay before the unit is switched on in the “Filtration” phase. If the low-level switch is active the unit will move directly out of the “Filtration”...
  • Page 36 UFS8000 Components You can secure the low-level switch by entering a delay of 0-9999 seconds. Also, it is possible to indicate whether the unit must be switched off when the level in the dosing tank is too low. When the unit is turned off, you can have the unit turn on automatically when the dosing tank is filled up to a sufficient level.
