Start-up/commissioning Start-up/commissioning The initial start-up/commissioning of the product must be carried out by technical service personnel only. 6.1 Checking the product In case of the basic pure water tanks GT 1000, the filling level indi- cator is factory-set. 1. Completely fill the tank with water. 2.
Start-up/commissioning 6.2 Setting the control unit In case other tanks (except GT 1000) are used, the parameters Filling level, Filling height and Filling volume must be adapted. The filling volume is defined as the amount of water between the bottom and the upper edge of the overflow in the tank. The switching points and the hysteresis of the programmable con- tacts as well as the switching point of the alarm contact (= switching point of the solenoid valve) must be adapted to the on-site require-...
Operation Operation The device must be permanently connected to the power supply. The control unit monitors the filling level of the tank and outputs messages (refer to chapter 9). If the value falls below the set lower alarm value, the device warns visually by means of an Alarm LED.
