    The level is measured with a sensitive pressure sensor that detects the height of the liquid column in the tank. For correct operation, it is necessary that the tank is depressurized. Due to temperature and air pressure differences or pumping operation, there may be under- or overpressure in the tank. This pressure can be discharged by opening a vent valve.

    The display of the accumulator capacity is related to an ambient temperature of 20°C. A fully charged battery could also lead to a reading of e.g. 80% if the temperature is very low. No result regarding the accumulator capacity can be acquired as long as the battery is being charged. In this case you will see the following information in the display: The results may be higher directly after charging.

    The menu item 'Device ID Number' This is the next menu item in the menu. A device ID number ranging from 1 to 999 can be programmed here. The device ID number is used as an identification address during bi-directional remote access. If no device ID number has been programmed the device cannot be accessed from the controller PFC during remote data requests and programming.

  • Page 60: The Menu Item 'Terminal Programming

    The menu item 'Terminal Programming' According to the similarities between the L-Flame and the Galaxis Advanced receivers we also speak of a Terminal programming when operating the L-Flame. Terminal programming means that several firing cues are programmed to a specific output and different durations can be defined in doing so. In principle the L-Flame Flame Head is an Advanced receiver with a single output.

  • Page 61: The Menu Item 'Terminal Programming: Edit

    28.6.6.4 The menu item 'Terminal programming: Edit' If you activate 'Mode' here you will enter the menu for editing the terminal function. 'C' stands for 'Cue', which is the firing channel. 'T' is the parameter duration ('T' for lat. tempus). 'D' stands for 'Delay', which is the step delay.

    The menu item 'Number of cues programmed' This menu item is used to display the previously obtained data. In this example, the device has determined 74 programmed firing channels, also referred to as cues. This means that 74 of the maximum possible 999 cues have flame duration programming.

  • Page 64: The Menu Item 'Flame Monitoring

    The maximum duration limit for the flame duration is also applicable here from L-Flame Flame Head Firmware version 2.24 on. Note that the Keyboard Firing Mode is an additional function. Conventional programming of the L- Flame Flame Head is still valid. Therefore, make sure to delete the programming if you do not want to use it.

  • Page 65: The Menu Item 'Number Of Allowed Misfirings

    Sensor 2 is intended for when the device is mounted using the guiding slots to the left of the LCD housing. Here, the same tilt and pan angles are created as explained above, except that these guiding slots and the opposite guide grooves are the reference point. Sensor 3 is to be used when the device is mounted with the guiding slots to the right of the LCD housing.

  • Page 70: The Menu Item 'Acoustic Signals

    This setting applies equally to pan and tilt. A tolerance is exceeded as soon as the pan or tilt angle is out of tolerance. The set tolerance should not be too narrow but also not too wide. Values between 5° and 10° have proven to be good. Ultimately, you must decide which tolerance is suitable according to your application.

    42 Usage in rain The L-Flame Pump Station is designed to be protected from rain, drizzle, moisture and humidity. It is designed to be installed on, next to and behind stages where this is ensured. The L-Flame Flame Head can also be used in rainy conditions. When the high voltage electrical ignition is turned on, a very hot arc is produced immediately and fuel ignition usually works without problems even in heavy rain.
