    Installation 4.2. Function MFE - NC Solenoid valve (NC) for air supply. Activated only when the vacuum level is too low. Makes considerable air savings possible. Solenoid valve for blow-off. For a quick and accurate blow-off. Built-in Vacuum sensor. Vacuum safety valve. Maintains the vacuum level when the ejector is not activated. Adjustable blow-off.

  • Page 15: Mfe Ejector Programming

    Installation 4.4. MFE ejector programming Function "AUTOVAC" (Selected with Parameter U) Standard case • Vacuum generation starts on input signal from an external system (+24V). • As long as this signal is active, the ejector will maintain the vacuum levels automatically. For example: When the vacuum level is less than 65 -kPa (parameter C) vacuum is generated, and when reaching more than 70 -kPa (parameter E) the vacuum generation is stopped in order to save as much compressed air as possible.

  • Page 16: Potential Energy Savings And Control Of Mfe

    Installation Feedback "Predictive maintenance" for AUTOVAC, version C, S, and R: For Predictive maintenance there is an additional output signal available for the external system (PNP, +24V). This signal can have different behaviors depending on parameter L: 1. A signal while vacuum is generated. Time to reach e.g. 60 (parameter A) can then be measured. Also, if a "re-fill"...

  • Page 17: Surveillance

    Installation As the vacuum safety valve is maintaining the vacuum level, the solenoid valve for blow-off has to be activated to release the object rapidly and with accuracy. Notice When selecting the MANUVAC function no air saving is available. 4.5.1. Surveillance By adding a surveillance system it is possible to monitor the air tightness of the system.
