Page 54
Operation Unit-specific values, limits as well as variable parameters for reversing processes are preset by factory default as described in chapter 3.3.4 or according to the order specifications for the particular case. Optimum adjustment of the reversing behavior of the STE-RS control unit strongly depends on the dry solids content and structure of the medium being macerated inside the macerator.
Page 55
Operation If the current consumption permanently remains just below the maximum value and frequent reversing processes are triggered, the limit for triggering reversing processes can be slightly increased within the scope of the limits defined in chapter 3.3.4 upon careful examination of alternative options (e.g. stirring the medium, reducing the DS content).
Operation Normal operation ● Select whether you would like time-dependent reversing to be triggered in order to prevent blockages by touching the field Automatic reversing On (3.1) or Off, independent of the current consumption of the drive. ● This requires time settings for automatic reversing in the Setting menu, submenu 4.1.
Operation Downtimes 5.3.1 Downtimes in automatic operation If Automatic operation has been activated, the control unit remains switched on during regular operation (LED indicator lamp Autom. Start-up is lit). The motor of the connected macerator (and any further components) is switched on and off according to the signals of the pump control unit (networked, external control unit, if applicable).
Operation Faults 5.4.1 Reversing when the current consumption is exceeded If the current consumption of the motor of the connected macerator exceeds the preset limit, the reversing process is initiated. The motor alternatingly runs forwards and backwards for short sequences, according to the preset duration and number. The display shows Reversing active (1.5).
Operation 5.4.2 Fault messages and troubleshooting Warning! In the event of a malfunction, leave the macerator switched off and immediately shut down any upstream and downstream components until the cause has been rectified. Otherwise, damage to the components cannot be ruled out. If required (e.g.
