Instruction Manual VULCANIC SAS Type 10803 12. ECONOMICAL OPERATION, OPTIMISATION OF REGULATION PARAMETERS 12.1. General Temperature regulation is executed by a manually-adjusted P.I.D regulator. The energy consumed in the network (electric current and cooling water) also depends essentially on this optimized adjustment.
Instruction Manual Type 10803 VULCANIC SAS 12.2. Self-adjustment The SGC has a self-adjustment algorithm based on the Ziegler & Nicols cycle. To be able to start that cycle, the process temperature (PV) must first differ from the set point by less than 5°C.
Instruction Manual VULCANIC SAS Type 10803 12.3. Heating power control There are four modes for heating power control. These four modes are: • Slow wave train • Fast wave train • Rotary incremental • "Step-control" The slow wave train (power dosing by a single switch working in pulse width modulation over a period of a few tens of seconds) is not suited to this type of thermo regulator.
Instruction Manual Type 10803 VULCANIC SAS 12.3.3. "Step-control" heating control This is the most elaborate mode. It allows precise and economical control of powers up to several thousand kW. Like the "rotary incremental mode", step control is only applicable to systems using several heating elements.
Instruction Manual VULCANIC SAS Type 10803 13. MESSAGES This chapter presents several messages likely displayed on the status indicator of the machine. You can find all the messages in the SGC manual “UT30789”. 13.1. Status messages: These messages refer to the status of the thermal regulator. They comprise the messages corresponding to a special operating mode and the messages reflecting the progression of the self-adjustment cycle.
Instruction Manual Type 10803 VULCANIC SAS 13.2. Failure or anomaly messages These messages replace the status messages in case of failure or anomaly. • Lack of flow rate: The flow rate of the thermal fluid is below the minimum contractual value.
Generally, operating anomalies are displayed in plain language on the S.G.C message indicator. However, if unable to quickly solve a malfunction problem, contact the After Sales Service at VULCANIC or its local dealer.
Instruction Manual Type 10803 VULCANIC SAS 16. MAINTENANCE ® 16.1. Vulcatherm maintenance Whenever the message "MAINTENANCE NECESSARY" is displayed (10 hours, 200 hours, 1000 hours, then every 2000 hours): Check the presence of a sieve filter in the cooling water inlet.
These additional documents do not form part of the present contractual operating manual. They are reserved to specialised technicians acting by delegation and under the control of VULCANIC. They are thus worded in the French and English languages, in accordance with harmonised European Directive 89/392 of 14 June 1989 with its latest modifications.
