1.1 Information about this operating instructions These operating instructions are intended for the use by plant engineers, installers or service technicians of the TW-31 tank monitor. This manual contains all necessary suggestions, information, recommendations and advice for the safe and proper in- stallation and commissioning of the tank monitor.
Use of unapproved spare parts (e.g. batteries) Otherwise, our general terms and conditions as well as the terms of delivery of WELBA GmbH and the legal regulations valid at the time of conclusion of the con- tract are applicable. We reserve the right to make technical changes in the context of improving the prop- erties of use and further developments.
Power failure With the integrated power pack the temperatures are monitored and stored even in the case of a power failure. Thus the TW-31 can continue its work during a power failure and activate an alarm. Data storage/-evaluation The determined data of the last 300 days (max.) temperatures, alarms, operating...

Please read carefully before installation and before any work on or with the tank monitor. The tank monitor TW-31 is used to monitor agitator motors, compressors and clean- ing components in milk cooling tanks in the agricultural environment for the purpose of ensuring the milk quality.
Connect mains supply. Lock the switch box and switch on the mains voltage. Switch on and parameterize the control as described in section “Operation”. (Possibly with the optionally available configuration Software WELBA- KONSOFT). 2.4 Wiring, screening, earthing When selecting wiring materials and installing and connecting the temperature con- troller to the electricity supply account must be taken of DIN VDE 0100 “Erection of...
Caution: All cables to the digital inputs must be shielded and kept as short as possible. EMC. Important note concerning the external fuse. The transformer, which is installed in the TW-31 has a two-chamber safety winding, is only conditionally short-circuit-proof due to the built-in thermal NOTICE protection.
Make the connection according to the wiring diagram on the next page. Use cable bushes Make sure that cables do not chafe! Observe relay current rating! Do not wire digital inputs with external voltage! Use potential-free switches. 105466 – TW-31-E - V1.9 - 06.04.2021 Page 15...
In this case please contact Welba. If you keep the temperature controller for a period before using it, store it in a clean dry place at a temperature of between -20°C and +70°C. 105466 – TW-31-E - V1.9 - 06.04.2021 Page 16...

Alarm is activated if the cleaning stops earlier than the time [H32] that has been set. Agitator fault in cooling mode (milk not stirred) Alarm functions only if optional “Welba agitator monitor” is installed and parameters set [A71]. Alarm occurs after the cooling mode is started, if a backpressure by the milk has not been detected on the stirrer within the time [H40].
Power cut directly The alarm can function only if the optional power pack is installed. Re- gardless of the operating mode the alarm is triggered in the event of a power cut. 105466 – TW-31-E - V1.9 - 06.04.2021 Page 37...
