The circuit board AVIATOR allows increasing the starting torque of single-phase motors in a simple and economical way. AVIATORIt can be ordered as an accessory for PILOT 118 1x230V, is equipped with specific contacts with which it is mechanically and electrically coupled to the power board of the PILOT. The starting capacitor, present in the board AVIATOR, is inserted in parallel with the run capacitor only in the starting phase of the motor.

PILOT Place board AVIATOR above board PILOT. Insert the female faston terminals of board AVIATOR in the male faston terminals of board PILOT paying attention to the correct insertion of all 4 terminals. Gently press the board AVIATOR downwards making sure the faston contacts are correctly coupling.
PILOT Check the correct and safe positioning of board AVIATOR on board PILOT. Close the cover. 8. Commissioning 8.1. Preliminary checks Before supplying power to the device, carry out the following electrical and mechanical checks: • Check that the device complies with the motor control according to its data plate.
PILOT • Check that the cable glands and screws are properly tightened. • Check that the device is completely closed and that live parts are not accessible. 8.2. Powering DANGER Before supplying power to the device, make sure you have read, understood and implemented all the safety, mechanical, and electrical installation instructions.
PILOT Parameter Description P.F = X.XX The P.F. parameter represents the measured power factor (cosØ). STATUS: NORMAL In the absence of alarms, the STATUS is NORMAL. Otherwise, the alarm message flashes. Press th ENTER key to access the Diagnostics menu.
PILOT 10. Alarms When an alarm occurs, the device starts emitting an acoustic signal (if available) and an intermittent warning ap- pears on the STATUS screen indicating the corresponding alarm. By pressing the STOP key (only and exclusively in correspondence with the STATUS screen) it is possible to attempt to reset the machine. If the cause of the alarm has not been resolved, the device displays the alarm again and emits an acoustic signal.

PILOT NOTE The correct value for parameter Dry run PF depends on: • The type of motor (construction and winding data). Generally, three-phase surface motors have a higher rated cosphi than submersible motors having the same power rating. • The type of pump (hydraulic performance and power consumption curve).
